Applied Ballistics® WARNING The Applied Ballistics feature is intended to provide accurate holdover and windage solutions based on gun and bullet profiles and measurements of current conditions only. Depending on your environment, conditions may change rapidly. Changes in environmental conditions, like wind gusts or downrange winds, may have an effect on the accuracy of your shot. Holdover and windage readings are suggestions only based upon your input into the feature. Take readings often and carefully, and allow the readings to stabilize after significant changes in environmental conditions. Always allow a margin of safety for changing conditions and reading errors. Always understand your target and what lies beyond your target before taking a shot. Failure to account for your shooting environment could cause property damage, injury, or death. NOTE: This feature is available only on the tactix Delta Solar with Ballistics device. The Applied Ballistics feature offers customized aiming solutions for long-range shooting based on your rifle characteristics, bullet caliber, and various environmental conditions. You can enter parameters including wind, temperature, humidity, range, and firing direction. This feature provides the information you need to fire long-range projectiles, including elevation holdover, windage, velocity, and time of flight. It also includes custom drag models for your bullet type. Go to appliedballisticsllc.com for more details about this feature. See the Applied Ballistics Glossary of Terms, page 49 for descriptions of the terms and data fields.
