| | | Why CoffeeShark and Bojingles must have an iPhone or iPod Touch! BOOM, Headshot!: Sniping App For iPhone - Geekologie Quote: |
Users can mount their iPod touch to their rifle, and then use the iPod's touch-screen to tap in details about the wind conditions, ammunition type, distance to the intended target and even the wind speed.

| | | I can calculate it on paper, but it's a cool program from what it shows. I assume it's easy to correct changing windage on the fly.

| | | oh, and mounting the iPod Touch on your rifle is stupid. I don't care how light it is. You're better off with an armband holder that can swivel and you can tap in the variables, then fire.
