In the realm of hunting, each hunters would probably like to imagine themself as the sharpshooter, to make every shot count. But reality will knocks you down just as too much uncertain factors will fail your shooting, only tools that invented by science and technology can fulfill your dream. So today we are about to unveil the secret on how laser rangefinder is truly matter in ballistic calculation.

How does ballistic calculator work?

Talking about ballistic calculating, it's a complicated process of mathematics analysis, and none of us would be willing to do it with our brain. Anyway, thanks to the invention of intelligent ballistic calculator, a new technology that can eventually replace human brain. When you prepare to take the shot, the environmental inputs and range to target are entered into the ballistic calculator. The solver then uses an algorithm to compute a trajectory correction based on the gun profile stored in the solver.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that among the parameters that affect the change of ballistic trajectory, there are relatively constant quantities and dynamically changing quantities. Among these physical quantities, they are factors such as the bullet’s initial velocity, bullet weight, ballistic coefficient, baseline height, temperature, and altitude etc. These are relatively constant values that only need to be entered once. However, the distance between the thermal imaging night vision device and the target is dynamic. Even if it is the same prey and the same environment, the distance will change at any time as the prey walks and runs.

How do we acquire distance information for the ballistic calculator?

The answer is certainly that using a laser range finder. Back to the past, we might still use traditional handheld rangefinder to determine the distance of target and then put it in the pocket to aim at the prey again, which shows big disadvantage and inconvenience. Not until the launch of thermal scope, thermal imaging sight with built-in ballistic LRF, which enhances shot accuracy and increases the likelihood of first-round hits, it greatly reduces the tedious operation of user in hunting. Integrated ballistic calculators in these scopes adjust for bullet drop and wind drift, improving overall shooting efficiency and reducing the need for external range finders.

As the and specialist and manufacturer of laser range finder module, Eyoung has been dedicating to develop and research on its own series of LRF module that features ultra-compact size and light weight while keeping its high precision of range performance. We are always the trustworthy business partner and reliable supplier in optoelectronic industry.
