Another new feature in Strelok Pro!

ANOTHER new feature on Strelok Pro!

I am continuously impressed with what Igor Borisov is doing with the Strelok Pro ballistic app! He constantly improves it. I own a few of the other major ballistic calculator apps, just so I could compare. Strelok Pro wins, hands down!

So, those already using Strelok Pro are familiar with entering your parameters and then hitting the "Calculate" button on the main page:

Now there is a "HUD" feature that appears if you "long-click" the "Calculate" button. "Long click" meaning that you press and hold the button. It produces a simplified and easier to read display of your turret values. You can also change the wind and distance parameters from this window:

Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely use that feature the next time I shoot. I too, am impressed with Igor.

 

[Deleted member 10043]

Yeah, I've always used Igor's app. Good stuff.

 

[Racer88]

Photos fixed.

 

[JoeZ]

Thx for the heads up.

 

[Racer88]

Thx for the heads up.

I see what you did there.

 

[JoeZ]

Now if he could get it to be an overlay with the camera on, it really would be HUD. It's good though.

 

[Shooter II]

StrelokPro has always worked great for me. Can’t wait to use HUD next trip to the range!

 

[Racer88]

I also discovered a couple of Easter eggs in strelok Pro today.

The first is that if you tap on the turret settings in the ballistic Solution on the homepage, it will toggle between 1-3/4 format and clicks. (Circled in orange)

The second Easter egg is if you long tap on the rifle information on the homepage, you'll get a quick-change pop-up where you can change the cartridge that you're using (instead of drilling down through a couple of pages). Cool!

 

[seansmd]

The first one did not work for me, I am on android?

The second does pop up but doesn't let me change?

Which version do you have? The latest is 4.7.6

 

[atomic41]

Just tried it, that's cool! Thanks for sharing, this ap is truly awesome.

 

[clcustom1911]

Yup. Igor's app is my favorite. He always responds to email within about 24 hours.

 

[seansmd]

Which version do you have? The latest is 4.7.6

Using 4.7.,6 I get the pop up for cartridge but it just shows the one I have selected. Can't get a screen grab.

 

[seansmd]

On the "clicks" Easter egg you obviously need a MOA reticle selected, mine was a MIL ?

 

[Racer88]

Using 4.7.,6 I get the pop up for cartridge but it just shows the one I have selected. Can't get a screen grab.

Do you have other cartridges assigned to that rifle?

 

[seansmd]

Do you have other cartridges assigned to that rifle?

No

 

[Racer88]

No

Well... there ya go. It only shows the cartridges you've saved / assigned to that rifle.

 

[seansmd]

Ha! I didn't realize I could add multiple cartridges, learned something new!

 

[Racer88]

Ha! I didn't realize I could add multiple cartridges, learned something new!

Yep.... So, what you do is use one cartridge to zero the rifle. Then when you use other cartridges, you figure out the "offset" from zero for those cartridges. Here's the instructions on how to do that. Pretty nifty feature!

Configuring cartridges in Strelok Pro [Android]

 

[Bwells]

Thanks for the info. I've been using Strelok Pro for years and had no idea.

 

[Racer88]

Another Strelok Pro Easter egg!

The developer is constantly tweaking and improving this app!

Not much occasion to use this really, here in Florida, since most of us are shooting at nearly 0-degrees.

You can use the camera to set the slope angle.

First, you've got to check that option in the settings.

Then tap on the slope angle box on the home screen.

Then you'll see this camera view. Put the crosshair on the target and hit "OK." It will enter the measurement (-11 degrees in this case) into that field.

If you tap on the "0," it will zero out the slope angle field.

Pretty neat, eh?

 

[clcustom1911]

Yup. It's a really cool app. I wish I had a Kestrel with BT for the weather tie-in. This app and my Kestrel 4500NV with AB are within 0.1 mil when I set the data the same.

Anyone having issues with the latest version (5.07) of Strelok Pro on their iPhone? For whatever reason, after the update when I try to go into the G1 or G7 bullet menu and try to select the bullet brand or caliber it crashes the app. Does the same thing when I go into the factory ammo menu and try to select Caliber or Vendor. Been using the app for years and never had this issue before the last update.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app (and lost all my data dag-nabbit!) hoping that would fix it, but no dice. Using an iPhone 5 with IOS v10.3.3 if it matters.

I think the IOS you’re running may be out of date for the app, which Crazy Ivan keeps doing development work on - the most recent upgrade may have been the final straw in that sense.

Maybe try upgrading to latest IOS and try again? Could be time for a new phone?

 

[JRB45833]

Emailed Igor about it and he found the issue and got it fixed with the last update.

 

[Rookie]

If I upgrade from version 4.4.6 will I loose my data? If not, how do I update?

 

[SD Carpenter]

If I upgrade from version 4.4.6 will I loose my data? If not, how do I update?

Not sure, but I know if you message the developer he will email you back within 24 hours. I know you can save your data on your phone or Dropbox if you go into settings.

 

[Racer88]

Updates do not cause data loss. But, you should back up your data anyway. It's easy enough to do.

Updates usually happen automatically.

 

[Rookie]

I did the backup watched the vids, read FAQs. Guess I will email the owner.

 

[Lthrt]

How are you guys backing up your data?

 

[ForgeValley]

How are you guys backing up your data?

Settings - there are 4 choices at the bottom.

 

[Rookie]

The strelok developer pointed out to me that if you do not have the current version, you can go to Google Play Store, pull up strelok, and click the update button. The current version is 4.9.5.

My version is 5.17 on iPhone.

 

[SonicBurlap]

Works for me on Android. Do you have the latest update?

 

[Conaso]

Email yourself a copy of rifles.srl located in the Strelok folder on your phone. If you lose your phone or it is stolen... auto backups won't help you then.

Or back up to Google Drive or Dropbox.

 

[DukeGSP]

where in the app can you check and see what version you have? I have a viper pst 4-16x50 and that scope isn't listed... I figured it would be but maybe I don't have the app updated?

If you have an iPhone, it states the version for each update.

 

[SonicBurlap]

If you have an iPhone, it states the version for each update.

If you have an Android go to Settings, Apps, choose your App, About. It also gives you the option to update the app right then and there.

Strelok Pro has it. It is fairly far down on the list under the Vortex EBR-1 Reticles you just need to choose MOA, MRAD, SFP or FFP, whichever you have.

 

[DukeGSP]

i've got it the pro and it won't show up for me..

 

[SonicBurlap]

If you've updated, and you can't find the reticle because it doesn't show up on your phone in the list in Strelok Pro you'll have to click on About, click on Send e-mail to Igor Borisov and explain your dilemma, so you can get it fixed. All my reticles show up fine for all my rifles and scopes, and that's quite a few different brands.

 

[SonicBurlap]

By the way, under About in Strelok Pro you'll also see your current version number.

 

[DukeGSP]

just seen that. mines showing 5.17. i'll check again but I couldn't get the Pst 4-16 FFP to pull up. nothing 4-16 in vortex.

 

[SD Carpenter]

Just because there isn't a 4-16, doesn't mean there isn't the exact same reticle for a different power... Vortex is pretty standard across the board. And since you have a ffp, then it doesn't matter anyway because the subtensions are exactly the same.

 

[Diver160651]

People do not want to hear this, but the reticle feature is a distraction for both the developer and shooter. For the developer, it takes time away just trying to manage the new reticles and for the shooter a crutch.

Sure some are going to totally disagree with me and say how handy it is to visualize the drop in their scope. But unless you have electro optics, that process is slower than taking the time to truly know your reticle inside and out.

I would say, if you find that you need the perfect reticle in an app to show you the drop, you need to spend more time understanding your scope and drop.. just saying..

 

[SonicBurlap]

just seen that. mines showing 5.17. i'll check again but I couldn't get the Pst 4-16 FFP to pull up. nothing 4-16 in vortex.

You are going to have to look for the Reticle name which is EBR-1 and then choose either the MOA, or MRAD version, and SFP, or FFP whatever version you own; also it isn't listed as Viper PST, plus "Vortex" is the last word listed for each reticle not the first.
Manufacturer's often use the same reticle for several scopes, Zeiss is a prime example for that, so I guess the designer of Strelok Pro decided to list scopes by the corresponding reticle because the data you receive allows you to hit your target using this particular reticle which might be used by several scopes and he didn't want to have to list that same reticle over and over again with the addendum of another scope name.

 

[SonicBurlap]

This is how they are listed:

EBR-1 MRAD SFP, 4-16x Vortex
EBR-1 MRAD FFP, 4-16x Vortex
EBR-1 MOA SFP, 4-16x Vortex
EBR-1 MOA FFP, 4-16x, Vortex

Yours is either the EBR-1 MRAD FFP, 4-16x, Vortex, or the EBR-1 MOA FFP, 4-16x, Vortex depending on whether your scope is in milliradian, or minute of angle.

Thanks Racer88 for the how-to on using the camera angle - have not used that before.

I'm using an iPhone 6 and updates are automatic for me - now using 5.17. You can find the version by opening 'settings' and scrolling to the bottom, click on 'about strelok pro' and it will show what version you have.

This is a great app and pretty much nails my trajectory dead on. I use is most for the 22lr tactical shoots - they say winds and holds for 22lr very similar to 308win. Igor has an amazing data base of ammo, bullets, scope reticles, to pick from.

Yup - I'm a big fan of Strelok Pro.
