Comparison plots show, as a function of distance, separate plots for bullet drop, velocity, drift, momentum, and energy. The plots produced
show a trajectory for each cartridge/bullet selected in the list. As many cartridges/bullets as are selected will appear in the plot.

Individual analyses show, as a function of distance or time, separate plots for bullet drop, velocity, drift, momentum, and energy. When you select
'Use Sight Zero' in the Shooting Parameters window, the required muzzle angle is calculated and displayed in the appropriate shooting parameters field.
If you are wondering what aimpoint corrections are required for your scope zeroed at 200 yards and are switching from a 55 grain .223 to a 68 grain .223, this can tell you.

The aimpoint correction plots show the aimpoint deviation required to correct for distance and target height variations when using a sight zeroed
at a fixed distance. Two plots show the aimpoint correction required as a function of target distance in both inches (or cm) as well as angle.
Two more plots show the aimpoint correction in inches (or cm) as well as angle as a function of target height at the fixed sight zero distance.

The Maximum Range plot shows the maximum distance the bullet will travel if fired from an angle ranging from 0 to 90 degrees. Also
shown on the plot is the altitude the bullet will reach if fired at that angle. With atmospheric drag, the angle of maximum range
usually occurs at just over 30 degrees. In a vacuum, the maximum is at 45 degrees.

|
The Maximum Point Blank Range plot shows the maximum point blank range as a function of lethal zone diameter and the sight zero
distance required to achieve that distance. Maximum point blank range is that distance up to which the bullet will stay within a vertical
zone. At first the bullet trajectory will rise above the bore line followed by a drop below the bore line. At the point where the
bullet has dropped an amount equal to the lethal zone diameter from its peak height, that is the maximum point blank range.

The flight time versus distance plot illustrates the time required for bullet flight as a function of distance.
|
|
The trajectory tables list the trajectory analysis data in tabular form. The distance based table shows the distance in 10 yard (or meter)
increments, the time, bullet drop, drift, velocity, energy, and momentum. For Modified Point Mass Analyses, a bullet spin column is added.
The time based table shows the time in 0.01 second increments, the distance travelled, and the remainder of the columns similar to that
shown in the distance based table.

The Shooter View Image shows the required aimpoint to hit the target compensating for a scope zeroed at one distance shooting at a target at
another distance. Holdover distance and windage and drift corrections can be easily seen. The simulated scope view can be adjusted for magnification
factors from 1X to 30X. A standard duplex as well as Mil-Dot, Moa-Dot, and bullet drop compensating reticles can be displayed.

The Cartridge Size Window shows the physical dimensions of the cartridge. The window can display the cartridge as actual size, 2X or 4X actual size.
