Outdoors, aviation, and archery calculators
Arrow setup, the crosswind on a runway, a ski or snowboard length to start from, the energy a bullet carries, and the drop downrange.
Front-of-center is the AMO measurement: how far the balance point sits ahead of the shaft’s midpoint, as a percent of shaft length. Kinetic energy uses Easton’s identity, grain weight times speed squared divided by 450,240. The speed estimate scales from the IBO test condition, 70 pounds, 30 inches, 350 grains. A chronograph still wins.
Crosswind is wind speed times the sine of the angle between the wind and the runway heading. Headwind is the cosine. Runway 27 is heading 270. Wind is the direction it comes from.
The ballistic calculator is a flat-fire point-mass model with BRL G1 and G7 drag. It reports drop, drift, velocity, and energy. It does not model spin drift, and it does not give a powder charge or a reloading recipe. Energy at one velocity, with no trajectory, is the bullet energy calculator beside it.
Which calculator?
How fast, how nose-heavy, and how much energy?
Arrow Speed Calculator
Arrow speed, FOC, and kinetic energy calculator. Chronograph speed or an IBO estimate, plus front-of-center and foot-pounds.
What is the crosswind on this runway?
Crosswind Calculator
Crosswind component calculator. Runway, wind direction, and wind speed give the crosswind and the headwind or tailwind.
How long a ski for this skier?
Ski Size Calculator
Ski length calculator from height, weight, and ability. A chin-to-head heuristic from retailer fit charts, not a DIN setting.
What board length, and is it a wide?
Snowboard Size Calculator
Snowboard length calculator from height, weight, and riding style, with a wide-board flag at a US men’s 11 boot.
How much energy does this bullet carry?
Bullet Energy Calculator
Bullet energy calculator. Foot-pounds, momentum, joules, and an optional Taylor KO factor, in grains or grams.
How much does it drop at this range?
Ballistic Calculator
Ballistic calculator for drop, drift, velocity, and energy. Point-mass G1 and G7 drag. No reloading data.
