Exbal Features:
· Best in class for ease of use.
· Option
to output to Excel spreadsheet for custom reporting, analysis, and graphics.
· Ballistic
coefficient database for most bullet manufacturers.
· Option
to analyze ballistic reticles (multiple
cross-hairs).
· Flexible
choices: yards or meters, 1/8th to 1 MOA or Mil Dot sight adjustments, maximum range
of 2000 yards/meters.
· Calculates
effects of wind, altitude to 15000 ft, atmospheric conditions, and angle of
incline.
· Calculates
MOA adjustments and Point Blank Range.
· Calculates
the effect of sighting in at one altitude and shooting at another.
Exbal is for long
distance shooters: tactical, military, law enforcement, varmint hunters,
and target shooters, It accurately determines where your bullet will go in
relation to line of sight. It performs rigorous three dimensional motion
equation calculations that account for air resistance, gravity, and wind
drift.

Exbal can utilize multiple
ballistic coefficients needed to characterize high efficiency target and
boat-tail bullets such as the Sierra MatchKing.
You can specify one set of atmospheric conditions for sight in, and another
set for a different range or hunting location.
Exbal can analyze scopes with ballistic reticles using your actual bullet and muzzle velocity, Exbal does not require a
lot of memory or disk space. It can be loaded on a laptop computer to take to
the match with you.

Exbal will calculate
and display the results for immediate access in the scrolling window at
the bottom left of the display. Click on the image at left to view
the Exbal main screen.
To use Exbal key-in a description, bullet
weight (grains), muzzle velocity (fps), sight-in distance (yards), and ballistic coefficient. Optional
input parameters are sight height above bore (inches), altitude (feet),
temperature (degrees F), percent of relative humidity, and pressure at
altitude (in. Hg) or pressure at sea level (in Hg).
|
|
|
Exbal can load Excel
spreadsheets with the results of your ballistic calculations so you can
plot, analyze, and compare results.
|

|
Exbal Report: Exbal can generate a printed report that fits on a
single 8.5 X 11 inch sheet.
