Boy, that was quick!

Last Monday I told you about NOBal Comp, the online ballistic calculator for the iPhone. I also mentioned that I was waiting for someone to come out with a native iPhone ballistic application.

Well, a couple of days later I got a nice email from Mat Pridham, founder and chief designer at WebDiligence.ca, the company that developed NOBal Comp. He said that they had a native (offline) ballistic calculator for the iPhone in the works that would hit the App Store on Monday (today.)

That was on Thursday. Last night, curiosity got the better of me and I checked the App Store. There it was - iSnipe, the iPhone ballistics calculator!

Of course I bought a copy (am I the first??) and immediately put it to use. Keep in mind this is v1.0, with all the caveats that entails, but it works as expected and the data generated is as accurate as any other ballistics calculator I've used. It lets you save and recall specific load information, which is one of those "must-have" features, and even supports portrait and landscape orientations.

Mat tells me that the next release will have some neat new features. I don't think I'm at liberty to disclose anything, but this is shaping up to be one heck of an application. Serious shooters will find it invaluable.

iSnipe is a very reasonable $4.99 at the App Store.
