Interesting . . .
"A new application has been launched for the iPod touch to help gun users line up a clean shot at their target. The BulletFlight app, which costs £6.99 to download from the iTunes store, has been developed by Runaway App to turn the iPod touch into a ballistics computer which the company says can provide 'quick solutions in the field.' "
My recommendation: Never, NEVER trust your sign alignment to something powered by a hearing aid battery! Then there are some shortcomings with this new toy (don't get me wrong, I love gizmos!) -- I am trying to figure out how it measures windage at the target . . .
More to come on this, I'm sure.

What if the battery fails?
:)
LOL...okay, good point, I think. Gun still fires, of course. But as a handgun instructor, my philosophy si to teach people not to rely on electronic sighting tools. When you rely on them, and they fail (and they will) people hesitate, and that can get you killed. So my instruction is use open sights, shoot center mass.
Now, with that said, if we are talking some really long range, high=power type shooting, this might be effective.
But watch -- it won't be but a nanosecond before the antis come out saying the iPod app has to be banned because it is a military weapon and that has no purpose in civilian hands. They will say it only aids in killing. Which is the same empty rhetoric they have used for a generation. We'll see.
Thanks for writing !
It's here, Brent.
Bob, thanks. That didn't take long, did it?
