1.0 Introduction
The Applied Ballistics (AB) Analytics software tool is a full-featured ballistics solver that includes the
capability to compute expected probability of hit using the same Weapon Employment Zone (WEZ)
method described in Bryan Litz’s book Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting. This tool allows a
shooter to see how his rifle can be expected to perform under a wide range of conditions, and how errors
contribute in causing a bullet to miss its target.
Figure 1 – AB Analytics provides users with the ability to perform their own WEZ analyses
The AB Analytics software includes two automated calibration tools that dramatically increase accuracy
at long range. First, muzzle velocity is calibrated by firing a range where the round is supersonic. The user
enters the actual drop at that range, and the AB solver computes the calibrated muzzle velocity
automatically. Second, for long range shooting - where the round is subsonic – Applied Ballistics uses the
actual drop at another range to automatically compute the drop scale factor (DSF).
This DSF provides a finer level of control in the subsonic flight than BC-Mach/Range tables, especially
when used with the custom drag curves that Applied Ballistics has computed for many common bullets.
While AB's solver supports the use of G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients, these custom drag curves offer a
new level of accuracy that cannot be matched by the conventional G1/G7 ballistic tables. These highly
accurate solutions are displayed in easy-to-read, and easily exported, range cards.

3.0 Ballistic Calculations

This section describes how to edit parameters and use them to compute a ballistic solution. NOTE:
pressing the Enter key after typing in a number will cause the ballistic solution to be updated with the
new number.
Figure 3 - Main ballistic configuration screen
3.1 Bullet Properties

The bullet properties subheading is located under the Profile Name section, and allows the user to edit
parameters about the bullet itself, including ballistic coefficient, drag curve, bullet weight, bullet diameter,
and bullet length. In addition, AB’s extensive bullet library can be accessed from here by clicking on the
Bullet Database button.

Build 068
Figure 4 - Bullet Properties

Most long-range bullets are better matches to the G7 standard, and using G7 BC's (Ballistic Coefficient)
will provide sufficiently accurate trajectory predictions out to a range where the bullet slows to transonic
speeds (~1340 fps which is in the neighborhood of 1000 yards for many cartridges). Be sure that if you
select the G7 drag model that you enter a G7 BC (not a G1 BC). Click here for further reading about G1
and G7 BC's.
When using custom drag curves, the ballistics engine is solving the equations of motion using the exact
drag curve for a specific bullet, not referencing a standard (G1 or G7) curve. The added accuracy in
trajectory predictions that is possible with custom drag curves is especially valuable when shooting at
targets at or beyond transonic range, because that's the speed region where drag curves tend to diverge
most.
Checking the Auto box next to Bullet Length is helpful if the user does not know how long his bullet is. This
tool uses empirical data from a number of known bullet configurations to estimate the length of the bullet
based on its diameter. Bullet length is used for stability and related trajectory calculations including spin
drift.
3.1.1 Bullet Database
The bullet database includes parameters for over 780 bullets, including bullet weights, diameters, lengths,
G1 & G7 ballistic coefficients, as well as AB-measured custom drag curves. These custom drag curves
provide a highly drag model through transonic flight, and are recommended for use instead of G1 & G7
to maximize accuracy.

Build 068
Figure 5 - Bullet Database

Selecting a bullet will overwrite the current settings in the main Ballistic Configuration window; if a custom
drag curve is selected, then the BC and drag curve selection options will be grayed out in Bullet Properties.
3.2 Gun/Scope Properties
The next section below the Bullet Properties allows the user to edit parameters related to the rifle system
and scope used, including muzzle velocity, zero range, sight height, and barrel twist rate. In addition, there
are several tools that can be accessed from here that enable the user to further refine the accuracy of the
ballistic solution; these tools are discussed in the following sections.
Figure 6 - Gun/Scope Properties

Build 068
3.2.1 Ballistic Calibration

The ballistic calibration feature allows a user to calibrate the ballistic solution based on observed bullet
drop at range. There are two parameters that can be calibrated: muzzle velocity (MV), and drop scale
factor (DSF).
Figure 7 - Ballistic Calibration

Due to uncertainties involved with modern chronographs, velocity measurements are not always as
accurate as we would hope. Therefore the first variable a shooter should attempt to calibrate is muzzle
velocity. The recommended range for muzzle velocity calibration is where the bullet is at Mach 1.2 in its
flight. If you have multiple 'observed' data points, use the farthest high confidence data point available
for muzzle velocity calibration. The interface will provide recommended ranges range in which to
calibrate muzzle velocity based on the bullets remaining velocity. After you've entered the observed
range/drop pair, hit Calc MV and the program will calculate and display the actual MV that results in your
observed drop. Click Use MV and the calculated MV will be applied in the main screen and future ballistic
calculations will be based on this value.
Figure 8 - Updated MV
For long-range shooting, the drop scale factor (DSF) is used to refine the ballistic solution in subsonic flight
using a similar process. By firing rounds at long range, and noting the true drop, a drop scale factor is
computed. Clicking Use DSF populates the DSF value and Mach number into the View DSF Table (section
3.2.2).

Build 068
Figure 9 - Completed Ballistic Calibration

Build 068
3.2.2 View DSF Table

Clicking View DSF Table in Figure 6 presents the user with all DSF values that have been calculated and
saved. This window allows the user to edit and/or clear these values as necessary.
Figure 10 - DSF Table
3.2.3 MV-Temp Table

The AB Analytics tool also allows the user to use a MV-Temperature table that updates the muzzle velocity
based upon the measured temperature. To use this feature, the user first clicks the box next to Use Table.
Figure 11 - Gun/Scope Properties
The user then clicks the MV-Temp Table button to access the window shown in Figure 12. The user enters
the temperature and associated muzzle velocity in the table, making sure to press Enter after typing each
value.
NOTE: The Enter key must be pressed after each entry, or the entry will not be saved upon closing the
window.
AB Analytics User Manual Copyright Applied Ballistics® & nVisti® P a g e | 10

Build 068
The values should be entered starting with the highest temperature first. Clicking the Close button saves
this table.
Figure 12 – Example MV-Temp table

Once the table has been populated, any change in the temperature will update the muzzle velocity. The
system automatically interpolates for values between table entries, as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13 - Muzzle Velocity updates with temperature

Build 068
3.2.4 Advanced Settings

The Advanced Settings button provides the user access to additional settings and tools to tweak results
and further refine accuracy. First, the user can adjust environmental settings for when the rifle was
zeroed, which is helpful when the rifle is zeroed under dramatically different circumstances than when it
is intended to be fired. To do so, the user checks the Enable Sight-In Conditions box, then enters the zero
conditions above.
The second setting is a zero offset; which allows the user to accommodate a shift in point of impact at
zeroing, such as is seen through the addition or removal of a suppressor.
Lastly, the sight scale factor inputs enable the user to compensate for any irregularities in the travel of a
rifle scope through its range of elevation and windage. Simply place a 'tall target' at 100 yards or meters
and draw a plumb line (using a plumb bob or level). The user fires a group at the bottom of the target,
then dials the scope up 30 MOA or 10 MILS and shoots another group. The user then measures the
distance between the two groups and determines how much the group actually moved in relation to the
adjustment that was made on the scope. For example, if the groups are only 29 MOA apart when 30 MOA
were dialed, then the correction factor is 30/29 = 1.035. The program will scale the calculated drop by this
correction factor to account for the error in scope travel.
Figure 14 – Advanced settings window

Build 068
3.3 Target
The target section allows the user to enter information about the target, including range, heading to target
(0 degrees is North, 90 degrees is East, etc), inclination angle to target, latitude, and target speed in MPH.
Again, pressing the Enter after entering a value will cause the ballistic solution to update with any changes.
Figure 15 – Target properties section
3.4 Environment
The environment section allows the user to enter values for the wind speed, the direction it is coming
from, temperature, pressure and humidity. In the case of wind direction, the number represents the
direction from which the wind is coming; so a 12 o clock wind is coming directly at the shooter from the
target direction, a 9 o clock wind is blowing from left to right across the range. The software also calculates
and outputs the Density Altitude (DA) based upon your current inputs so you can mark printed range cards
at the DA they have been created at.
Figure 16 – Environment properties section

Atmospheric inputs have historically been the least understood and caused the most trouble for shooters
running ballistics programs, in particular the pressure inputs. The following discussion elaborates on the
correct way to manage these variables. Basically there are two options for describing pressure to a
ballistics program; 1) Enter the barometric (aka corrected) pressure and altitude, or 2) Enter the Station
pressure where you are. Some definitions are in order regarding barometric and station pressure.
Barometric pressure is also known as sea level corrected pressure, and is what the weather station and
airports report because it's useful for pilots and making weather assessments. Barometric pressure is not
the actual air pressure where you are, rather it's a number that's corrected to sea level. In order to
determine the actual air pressure where you are (which is what the ballistics program cares about), you
have to account for the effects of altitude. However if you have a handheld weather meter like a Kestrel,

Build 068
you can measure Station Pressure directly which is the actual air pressure where you are. This is the
preferred method of inputting pressure data because it's one less input and relies on only one
measurement instead of two.
A common error is to mistake station pressure for barometric or vice versa. The consequence of this error
is that the wrong air density gets applied which degrades the accuracy of trajectory predictions. This error
is increasingly more severe the higher up you are above sea level.
NOTE: In the AB Analytics software, station pressure must be used.
3.5 Firing Solution

The Firing Solution section displays the results of the ballistic computation, broken up into its constituent
parts. In the case of elevation, the drop from gravity, Coriolis effects, and aerodynamic jump are shown;
for windage, drift from wind, Coriolis effects and spin drift are shown. Spin drift can be turned on and off
using the checkbox. The Calculate button can be used instead of pressing Enter to update the ballistic
solution. Max Ord is the highest point in the bullets trajectory above the ground, and Max Ord Range is
the range at which this occurs.
Stability Factor (SG) indicates if your Rifle, Bullet, & Environmental combination is optimized. An SG Above
1.5 means you have no loss in BC, and are fully stable. An SG of 1.0 to 1.5 indicates a Stable Projectile but
not optimized. You will lose an average of 3% BC for each 0.1 you fall below an SG of 1.5. An SG below 1.0
is neither stable nor optimized and may tumble.

3.6 Range Card

At the bottom of the main screen, a range card is displayed that shows the ballistic computation at user-
set increments, accessed by clicking the Settings button. As described in section 4.2, the range card can
be exported.

5.0 WEZ Analysis

To use the WEZ tool1, simply click on the WEZ analysis tab to access the screen in Figure 23. This tool
allows a user to investigate how the bullet’s point of impact is affected by changes or uncertainties in the
input parameters, as it can reveal how accurately the parameters need to be measured. For example, if
the temperature is only known to within 5F, what uncertainty is added to the bullet’s point of impact? Or,
if the rifle’s accuracy is expected to be about 2 minutes of angle (MOA - extreme spread), does it make
sense to try to measure temperature to better than 5F?
Uncertainties represent the 95% confidence intervals assuming a normal distribution. In other words, if
the uncertainty in range is cited as +/- 1 yard, it means the standard deviation of range error is 0.5 yards.
The simulation will model a bell curve of range error with 67% of the estimates being within +/- 0.5 yards
(+/- 1σ) and 95% of the estimates being within +/- 1.0 yards (+/- 2σ)
Figure 23 - WEZ tab

The left side of the screen allows the user to enter the precision of various inputs, as well as range to
target, the precision of the rifle system used, the shape of the target, and the dimensions of the target.
On the right, the results of the computation are displayed.
5.1 System Variables
The WEZ tool provides the user with the insight to see how each of the variables in Table 3 affects the
accuracy of a ballistic computation. The tool comes prepopulated with some precision values, as described
in Table 3, mostly based on use of the Kestrel to measure atmospheric conditions. Bryan Litz’s Accuracy

Further discussion on the concept of Weapon Employment Zone and how it can be applied to shooting scenario
can be found in Litz’s Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting.

Build 068
and Precision for Long Range Shooting provides several good estimates for rifle accuracy and muzzle
velocity variation. These values can be changed to match the user’s experience, such as muzzle velocity
variations measured by a chronograph.
The precision numbers are assumed to be one standard deviation values, which is a common measure for
the precision of tools making measurements. In this case, 67% of measurements will fall within +/-1
standard deviation of the mean; 95% will fall within +/-2 standard deviations.
Table 3 – Overview of parameters
Parameter Units for Analysis Precision (1σ) Rationale for Precision Value
Temperature degrees F 1.8 Kestrel Specification
Pressure inches of mercury 0.05 Kestrel Specification
Relative Humidity % 3 Kestrel Specification

Rifle Precision FPS Rifle specific
Once the fields are populated, the user can click the Calculate button at the bottom, which will compute
how each of those error sources influence the bullet’s flight, and show some results to the right of the
text entry boxes. The Sensitivity heading shows how much one unit of change in a given parameter (wind,
temperature, etc) changes the drop and drift of the bullet at the selected range; for the Figure 24 example,
1MPH of average wind pushes the bullet an additional 13.2 inches horizontally. An uncertainty of +/-
0.5MPH in the wind call adds +/- 6.6 inches of uncertainty to the bullet’s point of impact at range.

Build 068
Figure 24 – WEZ tool shows how each parameter influences the bullet’s flight
In addition to adjusting the parameters above, the WEZ tool also accepts different target shapes and sizes.
The IPSC target is standardized and its dimensions locked, but the rectangle and circle targets can be
adjusted to match actual targets in use.

Target Width/Radius Enter the width of the Rectangle target (or the radius if using Circle target)
Target Height Enter the height of the Rectangle target (not used for Circle)
5.2 Results
Once the calculate button is pressed, the tool produces a probability of hit calculation at the bottom of
the System Variable section; it also generates one of five graphs, which can be selected using the drop-
down menu at the top of the right-hand side of the screen.
The first is called Probability of Hit, and it shows the estimated probability of hit out to the entered target
range.
Figure 26 – Probability of hit graph

Build 068
Two other options are labeled Vertical Uncertainty and Horizontal Uncertainty; these two graphs show
how the uncertainties in the individual error sources contribute to the overall uncertainty in hit point. The
contributions are ranked from highest to lowest, and their magnitudes shown as bar graphs. The red line
along the top of the graph shows how the parameters contribute to the overall uncertainty. In the
example of Figure , muzzle velocity dominates the overall error, contributing approximately 92% of the
total uncertainty in the bullet’s vertical point of impact. Due to the way that the errors contribute to the
overall uncertainty, it takes significant changes in the smaller contributors to have any influence on the
overall performance of the system.
Figure 27 – The WEZ tool breaks down how individual parameters contribute to overall system performance.
The WEZ tool also includes a Shot Simulation graph, which presents a sample bullet spread overlaid on
the specified target, which is helpful for visualizing the system performance.

6.0 Wind Profile Analysis

To use the Wind Profile Analysis tool2, simply click on the Wind Profile Analysis tab to access the screen in
Figure 29. Wind profile analysis allows you to put varying winds, at different ranges to the target. This
allows you to have winds of different directions along the bullets flight path. If you enter wind in to the
wind profile analysis, it will use this wind to calculate firing solutions, instead of the average wind that
was input in the Ballistic Configuration Tab.

6.1 Wind Measurements

The wind measurement input section allows for 10 different winds, at ranges you select. The first input is
the range from the shooter. This is perfect for days when you might have alternating winds during the
bullets flight path to the target. You can input wind in any direction, allowing you to adjust for shifts in
direction at certain points, or areas with higher/lower winds than during the rest of the bullets flight path.
Range Wind can be either a head wind or a tail wind. If the wind is coming from behind to the shooter to
the target, then it should be positive. From the target to the shooter should be negative.
Crosswinds from left are negative and from the right are positive.
Vertical winds going up are positive and going down are negative.
