Atmospheric Conditions


Change/modify the Atmospheric Conditions to match your typical shooting conditions

To access this window, click the Atmospheric Conditions menu, then select Change Atmospheric Conditions

Once you enter the Altitude, Temperature, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Relative Humidity and Barometric Pressure, they are automatically saved, recalled and used throughout all ballistic calculations whenever SHOOT! is running. 

Select Wind Direction

You can select the direction from which the wind is blowing by clicking on either North (12 o'clock), West (9 o'clock), NW (North West - 10:30 o'clock) wind icon arrows, etc. Or you can enter a custom wind angle (i.e. 34 degrees) in the Wind Direction input box - this input box accepts values between 0 to 359 degrees.

Reset Atmospheric Conditions

The Set Standard Atmosphere (resets to ICAO - International Civil Aviation Organization ) button resets all the boxes to standard atmospheric values. For example, altitude is set to 0 Feet, temperature is set to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, wind speed is 0 Mph, relative humidity is 0% and barometric pressure is 29.92 In Hg. If you are unsure what the conditions were while hunting or target shooting, use the standard atmosphere settings.

Corrected Barometric Pressure

Use this to calculate what the barometric pressure would be at the given Altitude.
