Features & Capabilities

Ballistics Buddy is a powerful and easy-to-use Chrome extension designed for long-range shooting enthusiasts. It calculates precise elevation and windage adjustments based on complex factors such as gravity, aerodynamic drag, wind conditions, rifle specifications, and environmental variables like temperature, pressure, humidity, gyroscopic spin drift, and the Coriolis effect.

This tool helps shooters make informed scope adjustments by accurately modeling bullet trajectory relative to the scope’s line of sight. Ideal for use in the field, Ballistics Buddy balances comprehensive ballistics physics with a user-friendly interface to ensure quick, reliable calculations when it matters most.

User Reviews

Ballistics Buddy is praised for being easy to use, accurate, and free, with a solid feature set and active support. However, recurring issues center on data persistence and state saving (data re-entry and rifle memory), design inefficiencies (rifle/ammo data duplication), and inconsistent unit handling. Some users also find the interface confusing. Overall, it’s a strong no-cost option that competes with paid apps, but improvement in UI, data saving, and unit consistency would enhance the experience.

Pros

Easy to use / intuitive and simple to navigate
Accurate and reliable ballistic calculations
Free to use and competitively priced against paid apps
Comprehensive feature set with detailed options and helpful documentation
Active, responsive developer who accepts feedback and updates the app

Cons

Data entry persistence issues: no save function in the data-entry step, leading to re-entering data when leaving the screen
Last rifle selection is not remembered; app sometimes reverts to the first rifle when making changes
Design requires repeating data entry because rifle and ammo data are stored together, causing redundancy
Inconsistent units: imperial/metric handling and conversion problems (elevation/barometer shows wrong units; ranging calculator not switching units)
Confusing interface reported by some users

Recent reviews

Probably works fine with firearms but inputting data for a PCP air rifle isn't allowed. Completely useless for me. App should be named Firearm Buddy, not Ballistics Buddy because it won't do actual ballistic calculations.
