Ballistic App Launches Bluetooth Integration for Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters
Ballistic – The #1 Ballistic Calculator for iOS Devices Partners with the Leader in Wind and Weather Instruments – Kestrel
SAN FRANCISCO CA (December 2015) – (ArmsVault.com) – Ballistic App, the #1 Ballistic Calculator for iOS devices announces the launch of Bluetooth integration for Kestrel’s 5 Series and DROP products. The strategic partnership between Kestrel and Ballistic delivers real-time atmospheric conditions seamlessly into the Ballistic App. With the Kestrel integration, Ballistic users can now calibrate their shooting solutions with weather and environmental information from any location. More shooters and hunters are discovering and using the Ballistic App technology to enhance their skills and hit targets with precision.
Current Ballistic App users can access this Kestrel integration through a simple in-app purchase for $14.99.
“Our technical team has worked closely with Kestrel to make this integration a success,” explained Shaun Steingold, CEO of Momentum Labs. “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when two leading brands combine efforts.”
“We’re pleased to add the power of Kestrel® environmental measurements to the Momentum Labs Ballistics app. With accurate on-site wind speed and air density measurements sent wirelessly to the user’s iOS device, the Ballistics app can now calculate far more precise firing solutions. Kestrel’s Bluetooth Smart communications protocol is designed to make this integration seamless for app developers and users, and we’ve enjoyed working with Momentum Labs on this project,” said Alix James, CEO of Nielsen-Kellerman.
Ballistic Advanced Edition is a complete precision marksman tool for hunting, at the shooting range or at home with hand loads. Ballistic’s computations are powered by the world-renowned JBM Ballistics computer. JBM is used by world-class shooters to deliver extremely accurate calculations, even in areas without cellular coverage.
Ballistic Advanced Edition combines real-time GPS and atmospheric information with a vast library of over 5,000 projectiles and factory loads. Ballistic calculates trajectory, windage, velocity, energy, lead and bullet flight time for any valid range and can compensate for atmospheric conditions such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity and altitude.
Users can also use its advanced features like Mil-Dot and MOA rangefinder with head-up display capabilities, full size charts, reloading companion, precision target log and an optional HUD for mounted firing.
Three versions of the Ballistic App are available at the App Store for iOS devices – iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
