Ive been using this app for 7 or 8 years now. Kick ass app!

[@kirkmartin2223]

Same

[@drewgarnett7981]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@DubfromGA]

excellent podcast.....very informative to me....new guy to longer range fun. Just added a Gen3 5-36X56 and have been looking into rangefinders......

[@jonathanbennison9220]

1:04:17 Custom chart increments. Awesome. Ie, the turkey shoot ranges with the 410 TSS y'all were discussing. Discussing 40 yard ranges. And clearly with archery, ranges that matter in 10 yard/meter increments, out to 40/60/100 yards... If, ballistic terminal performance is maintained.

[@ryangarner7516]

Started using this app based off of this podcast. What is the recommended way to provide feedback on the app?

[@Deathlily76]

Jim you should look into 338 Razorback if your looking for an SBR. It's a really unique cartridge

[@jonathanbennison9220]

52:48 The combination, of allowing a spotter, with perhaps the razor range finder GB. Spottiing, pinning, and updating for the rifle partner... Who can then just reference the E Card.

[@DarthLepard]

Can you say what you are using to get your shooting solution? Is it a basic BC solver or something more complex like 4DOF or AB?

[@jacobgau]

Love the App, can we please add the Fury AB to the devices that can connect. Would love to be able to range multiple targets with the Fury and build a range card in the app on the fly. It would be great for competitive events so we have our dope card after we have scanned and ranged our target array while on the clock. This will save time from having to write the AB info we get from the fury after every range.

[@TheSavanto]

Do you have to have pro version to link with impact 4000? Mine won’t link and a buddy tried his app and that wouldn’t link either. Neither of us have the pro version.

[@not4younot4you70]

If you have impact 4000. They said it free for you.

[@Bluuubbb1]

is it possible to put in the data from you zeroing situation, like airpressure, temprature, etc. so it calculates from there?

[@robculp7694]

Perhaps I missed it, but does GB offer a section where you can select your specific scope? Then display the reticle with the distances overlayed on top? Ala a competitors app from another forbidden land?

[@trevorborys7877]

We need rangefinder binos that work with the app

[@magwamagwa45110]

you guys are doing a great job of showing what it will do BUT!!! you are not showing how to do it which buttons to push to get this menu or add this or that Please... everyone is not a phone geru.... thanks

[@jonathanbennison9220]

1:10:22 Ryan. Advice if you have the Pro level. Multiple. Rifle. Profiles. So.create your rifle. Profile. Then copy it, and experiment with test profiles, knowing that you have your reliable. Profile established and saved. Great way to consider making changes to the rifle/bullet pairing. Or for Ryan Muck, for his custom load outs, Or, for any of us, considering bullet selection. For the application.

[@colefahey9032]

Wind and angle need to be revamped

[@jonathanbennison9220]

1:01:45 I have a question. Does GB work well with archery/crossbows ballistics? For Bow or Xbow accuracy? Most of the math sounds nearly the same. Velocity at launch. Grains for projectile. Distance. Shot angle. Etc etc etc. Ballistic Coefficients Are clearly different, with shaft length and such. But... Archery Geo Ballistics?

[@jonathanbennison9220]

Does Geo Ballistics have shotgun solutions? Just watched some of your shotgun episodes, And the versatility of the load outs, perhaps even more than some of the 308 or. 30-06 versatility... Except perhaps for longer ranges... Of course... But one rifle/shotgun, firing very different ammunition options depending on target..

[@MrPiimpslap]

No it does not. That one thing I hope gets added with Vortex purchasing it and infusing R&D money into it.

[@brenn330]

Need that new rangefinder

[@MrPiimpslap]

Too bad you guys couldn't get the creator of the app on the show. He was Max Ordinate's podcast and his story is pretty amazing start from a hunter with a need for shooting solutions.

[@mattcomchoc2957]

i don't recall hearing height-over-bore mentioned, just zero distance. is that a factor you can enter in this app? *Edited to add that it does, you can see it as an option when they are setting up Mark's rifle info

[@doylethorn9251]

Height over bore is used in several other programs. Changing the height over bore in these other programs changes the data significantly. I can't see how they can leave this out of their program.

[@WayStedYou]

12:50 it shows height over bore is an option.

[@chrisjames7489]

Why does Geobalisitics give very different solutions to say something like 4 DOF on angled shots? I haven’t had an opportunity to shoot a 15+* shot to see which is closer. But they are miles apart

[@chadillac95]

Maybe I missed it (I listen while driving to and from work) but how so you change the settings from MRAD to MOA?

[@not4younot4you70]

You change it on the rifle profile. Yea that suck but that’s the only way.

[@ethanharris5556]

I wish there was an option to enter a zip code to get online environmentals from somewhere other than nearby me

[@mattcomchoc2957]

went to install on my android: "Geoballistics collects location data... even when the app is closed or not in use" that's pretty unacceptable. i don't need the extra battery drain and privacy concerns. can you provide a defense for why my ballistics app needs to know where i am at all times?

[@20020x]

338 Crazy Ivan, Jim

[@renatosureal]

Can I use METRIC units, including MIL ???

[@jasoneverett7343]

Yes, they are showing it in mrad in the video.
