Gentlemen, I appreciate your responses. I purchased a Magnetospeed. One obvious issue with the Magnetospeed is that it can’t be attached to a semi-automatic pistol (or can it?), but other than that, I’m looking forward to using it.

I didn’t mean to be flippant in my response to TS’ post. As I shot only at set ranges in competition, I used my MV to get on paper and then chased the spotter into the black. Once I had the sights set where I wanted them, I recorded those drops. I never really thought to calculate the true MV as I didn’t need it.

So, again I ask for your thoughts on a mobile app to calculate the true MV. I couldn’t find where the apps referenced by LR1947 can be used on the iOS. My wife won’t allow PCs in the house. We only have Macs , iPads or iphones. Is there a decent mobile app for an iphone or an iPad? Ramirez noted his use of an iphone app, and I was wondering what app he used?

And, as a curiosity, how was the true MV determined “back in the day” before the mobile apps?

Thanks.
