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.

There are several out there but the 2 that seem to be used the most are Ballistic AE and Shooter , both iphone/pad apps. Ballistic AE is favored by most and the author is actively involved with user feed back and requests for options frm users to be added. I have both and my preference is Ballistic AE. Which ever one you decide to use, make sure you spend some time reading the user manual. Both are intitutive to a degree but I found the manual to be worth taking the time to read after scratching my head a few times. Here is a link to the authors thread to give you an idea of how proactive he is in it's staying up to date.
