You may have seen a few weeks ago a post with a new Community Tool, it’s time for a proper introduction:
ShooterOS.com a bore sighting target generator and ballistic calculator packed with helpful features for not only planning a range trip at home but also an offline companion at the range.
Make sure you bookmark it, you can even install it as an “App“ on mobile for offline use for when its time to go to the range!
Features worthy of showcasing
- Stop Wasting Ammo & Time: Generate printable, custom zeroing targets calculated for your exact rifle, optic, and ammunition combination. Get on paper faster and spend less time and money sighting in.
- Master Mechanical Offset: Perfectly calculates your Height Over Bore (HOB) and shows the precise point of impact needed at short range (
e.g., 10, 25, 50 yds) to achieve a perfect zero at your desired distance (e.g., 100, 200 yds). - Visualize Your Bullet’s Trajectory: The integrated ballistics engine doesn’t just give you a target; it shows you the entire flight path, including your near and far zero distances and the bullet’s maximum height.
- Works Offline, Right at the Firing Line: Install the tool directly to your phone’s home screen. It works as an offline app, giving you full functionality at ranges where cell service is unreliable or non-existent.
- Instantly Share Your Setup: Generate a unique URL or a scannable QR code on your printed target. Friends can scan it to instantly load your exact configuration into their own device, making it perfect for instructors or sharing with your group.
A target generator and ballistics calculator is just the start, ShooterOS aims to be a one stop shop for firearm enthusiasts planning range trips and organizing their ballistic setups, here is a quick peek at what’s being worked on, stay tuned for more updates!

Instant Scope Correction Calculator: Take the guesswork out of sighting in. The upcoming “Reverse Calculator” will let you measure your group’s distance from the bullseye, enter the offset, and it will instantly tell you the exact number of clicks (
e.g., “8 Clicks DOWN, 6 Clicks RIGHT”) to dial on your scope for a perfect zero. A little sneak peek
-
Your Personal Ballistics Locker: Stop re-entering data for every range trip. Soon, you’ll be able to create a personal profile to save, name, and manage all your unique ballistic setups.
