Athlon Optics delivers a major update to the Athlon Ballistics app Rangecraft Velocity Pro users, and if you do any serious load growth the addition of session velocity graphs is reason enough to install it before your next range session.
The main feature is Live View, which sends velocity data simultaneously to the chronograph screen and connected mobile device over Bluetooth. You view the shot data on your phone on the bench without having to return to the unit between strings. Audible readout builds on that, pushing velocity calls through your phone speaker, Bluetooth hearing protection, or wireless earbuds so you can get the numbers without taking your eyes off the target. For a solo shooter running load development, these two features combine to eliminate the stress of constantly moving the unit back and forth, which breaks up a session.
The session velocity graph is what reloaders will spend the most time with. Each session now generates a visual line graph of velocity trends in the shot string, making it easier to identify consistency problems, compare load performance between strings, and track changes across sessions without having to compare raw numbers by hand. Session merging lets you pull datasets from multiple range days on the same load into one consolidated record, which is useful for anyone who runs the same load development across multiple range trips before committing to the final recipe.
New features in this update:
- Live View: simultaneous velocity display on the chronograph and connected mobile device
- Audible velocity readout: via smartphone speaker, Bluetooth Ear Pro, or wireless earbuds
- Session velocity trend graph: visual line graph generated per session
- Session Merging: Combine multiple sessions into a single dataset
- Advanced Bluetooth connectivity with Velocity Pro
- Updated UI and overall navigation improvements
Available on iOS and Android, free update via App Store. Velocity Pro Covers rifles, pistols, air guns, bows and crossbows through Doppler radar. If you haven’t updated yet, do so before heading to the range.
