"Shooter" for Android Table Question

[Good]

Can you change the increments shown on the solution table? Like show every 50yds or every 10yds or whatever? I don't have the program yet, I'm just wondering if this can be done. I can't find this anywhere. I normally just use JBM online and I can change the increments there. Thanks.

Tim.

Thanks Broz. Any negatives to trusting the program in the field?

No the program is working well for me. The touch screen phones can be a little fussy in cold weather. But if your finger is relatvely warm it works fine. Plus I keep the phone in my inner shirt pocket and all works well.

Hey Broz, another question, can you ask the program for a specific distance like 1427yds? Thanks for your help.

 

[Broz]

Sure, if I understand you correctly.... You can enter any distance to the yard. Then after you are on the solution page you can re-enter to the exact yard , or bump it up or down in the increments you have preset.

What do you think of the recent update to this program for wind input?
New page opens up with a arrow to indicate wind strength and direction.

I hate it. Ruined a good program.

I agree.

On my phone, when using the arrow for wind, it seems to be upside down, because the red spot, should be at 12 o clock, but i ats 6 o clock, so I need to turn my phone 180 degrees to get it right. Is yours like this too?

 

[Broz]

I guess I have not gotten this update for the " wind Arrow" Or is it an option I do not have turned on? Many things are optional like the choice of + or - or L or R for windage adjustment. I really like the L or R for this.

No Broz,
If you have automatic updates turned on, your phone should download the latest version.
There is no option to turn this feature off unfortunately.

With this wind feature it is impossible to input a 0 wind reading. The smallest input is 0.5 mph. To get a 0 wind input you need to use the solution page and then scroll down the wind speed.

The only other way to input the exact wind speed is to tap on the Humidity input section then hit the enter key and hope it tabs to the right spot on the next level which is the wind input. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not.

 

[Broz]

Topshot, I have not had this update. I do not let updates happen until I know what they are.

But my son is here today and has the update on his. We played with it and don't really care for it either. But the way around it is to skip wind on your field data entry page. Then once you are on the solution page enter the wind speed and direction with the page arrows like you said or place your curser there and type in the data manually.

This is how we do it anyway since the wind often is changing and we prefer to enter it last anyway. So this update will not affect us and the way we have used the program.

Broz,
That is the way that we have decided to use the feature as well.
It also effects the wind angle. So will now just have to live with it.

Another pain is that it only remembers the wind speed and angle from the front input page. In the field when you change the wind speed and angle at the last minute on the solution page, that info is lost if you go back to the main input page. Tthe default wind data then takes its place. This could lead to an error if you are not very careful.

 

[Broz]

yes, I agree. It would be nice if last inputted data, both wind and distance, would stay no matter what page it is entered, if you have that option checked.
