Graph Trajectories


The trajectory is the arched path that a bullet follows in flight. You can graph one, or multiple trajectories in Shoot! for any load(s) you define.

To display one trajectory at a time, go to the main window, click the Calculate menu, then select Graph Trajectory. Or, to show multiple trajectories while using the Compare Loads window, click Show, then Select Graph Comparison. A graph will show displaying two trajectories in different colours.

You can select different Graph types by clicking on the Graph menu.  The available graphs are:

Bullet Path vs. Range
Bullet Velocity vs. Range
Bullet Energy vs. Range
Bullet Drop vs. Range
Wind Drift vs. Range
Time of Flight vs. Range

You can select different Graph Ranges by clicking on the Range menu.  The available ranges are:

50 yards/metres
100 yards/metres
250 yards/metres
500 yards/metres
750 yards/metres
1000 yards/metres
1250 yards/metres
1500 yards/metres
2000 yards/metres
2500 yards/metres


The graph type and range value is automatically calculated and displayed when you click on either one from the menus.

Show Graph Points - Yes or No?

When set to 'Yes' you can see the calculated data points in a small box on the graph line for quick reference. When set to 'No' all you see
is the graph line.

How to Print the Graphs:

Click the Graph menu, then select Print Graph. Choose your printer type and set the paper size to either Letter size or A4.

How to Save the Graphs as a Graphic File:

Click the Graph menu, then select Save as Graphic file…
A Save As dialog box will show. Enter a name for the graph, then click Save.
Note: All graphic files are saved by default to 'Your Documents' folder (PC & Mac).

When you exit this window, Shoot! saves the graph type and range currently selected. This graph type and range value will display when you next open this window.
