Silhoutte Ballistics 17 Mobile version has been used on Windows CE 4.0 after doing some Microsoft updates and also been been reported to work on Windows CE 6.1 also. Some smartphones may have a Windows version that does not support Silhoutte Ballistics 17 Mobile.

The mobile version of Silhouette Ballistics, designed to compliment the desktop version of Silhouette Ballistics. Calculate single shot scenarios in the field using Silhouette Ballistics Mobile and use the desktop version designed to make your ballistics tables, range cards, wind clocks, and graphs.

Both the desktop and mobile version of Silhouette Ballistics uses the same Individual Gun Files.

There are three Sight Setting output screens, one for hunting situations, one for target shooting, and another that includes a moving target.

All of the critical data required for exterior ballistics is editable. There are different screens to edit or enter this data. Screen design minimizes scrolling for faster data input and results.

Open and save gun data files just like your letter files. Both the desktop and mobile versions of Silhouette Ballistics use the same Individual Gun Files. Use the desktop version to make range cards and wind clocks and take the same file to the field for exact sight setting corrections at current environmental conditions.

The Sight Settings – Hunting screen designed more for real hunting situations. Calculate actual sight setting corrections for any distance from the guns zeroed distance. Just select how you want it displayed, in Minutes of Angle (MOA), actual holdovers, sight clicks, or my favorite actual Scope Knob Numbers. If shooting up hill or down hill, no problem. Sight settings corrected for any up hill or down hill angle. The sight setting screens for target shooting and tactical situations will use the same shooting angle. The up or down hill shooting angle will also be displayed.

The Sight Settings – Target screen will aid the target shooter in making last minute sight corrections for wind drift. Input any wind speed and wind direction to get the bullet’s wind drift in Minutes of Angle (MOA), Inches, Feet & Inches, or Centimeters. Also displayed is the sight elevation correction from the guns zeroed distance. Just select Minutes of Angle (MOA), actual holdovers, sight clicks, or Scope Knob Numbers for your elevation correction.

The third output screen includes results for a moving target. Input crossing speed in ether Miles per hour (MPH) or Kilometers per hour (KMH) and the direction in degrees and the target lead is display. Select the lead in Minutes of angle, Inches, Feet & Inches or Centimeters. The sight correction from the guns zeroed distance includes any up hill or down hill shooting angles, entered on the Hunting screen.

Enter the range or target distance and the type of measurement used on this screen. The target distance maybe updated on each of the three Sight Setting Screens. This screen is where you select MPH or KMH for wind and moving target speed.

Enter the gun information on this screen. Minimal information requested here. Just enough to verify the opened individual gun file. Enter scope height or sight line above the bore line. Enter the distance used to zero the sights and the type of measurement used.

Enter the altitude above sea level, barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity for the environmental conditions when you zeroed your gun.

Enter the altitude above sea level, barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity for the current environmental conditions.

Enter the muzzle velocity and bullet ballistic coefficient on this screen. Again, some other bullet powder information is here to differentiate between loads using the same gun. The mobile version just like the desktop version allows you to use multiple ballistic coefficients. Select Multiple to edit or enter multiple ballistic coefficients.

Enter multiple ballistic coefficients if available. The format is the same that Sierra Bullets use. This is where using files created on the desktop computer comes in handy. There you have all this information.

Temperature affects all chemical reactions. This includes powder primer performance. Silhouette Ballistics adjusts the muzzle velocity for ambient temperature to suit your load. The default value of 0.15 will make minor adjustments. Use .05 to .15 for temperature stable powders like Hodgdons Extreme powders. Use .15 to .25 for extruded powders like IMR 4064. Use .25 to .35 for ball powders. The High MV Factor adjusts the muzzle velocity for temperatures greater than the temperature for the muzzle velocity. The Low MV Factor adjusts the muzzle velocity for temperatures less than the temperature for the muzzle velocity. If you do not know, just turn the correction function off. Use this screen to select inches only or feet & inches for sight hold over corrections.

This screen is for service rifle shooters to enter the clicks for the guns zeroed distance and the value of each click. Enter the maximum numbers of clicks your sight has and if the range or target distance requires more clicks than your sight has, the extra needed elevation will be displayed as a hold over with the sights at the full up position.

This screen is for scopes with target knobs. Enter the scope tube and knob setting for the distance the guns zero. Enter the maximum scope tube and knob setting for your scope. If the range or target distance requires more adjustment than your sight has, the extra needed elevation will be displayed as a hold over with the scope at the full up position. The tube numbers refers to the numbers on the stem, which the elevation knob rotates and indicates the number of revolutions the elevation knob makes.

SB Mobile will also run on a desktop computer if the desktop computer has Windows Installer 3.1 and Microsoft .Net Framework Version 2.0 installed.
