When it comes to long-range shooting, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned expert, Pulsar says it’s crucial to trust the science behind your shots. This means leaning heavily on ballistic calculations, which have become a standard tool for ensuring that each shot is precise, safe, and successful. Pulsar, a leading European company known for its innovative thermal and night vision optics, is pushing the envelope by integrating internal ballistic calculations into their riflescopes, including models without an integrated laser rangefinder.
Boosting your shooting accuracy
The primary function of a ballistic calculator is to swiftly predict how a bullet will perform under specific conditions—think environmental factors like air temperature, humidity, wind direction, and speed, all mixed with the physics and math of shooting. What this means for you as a shooter is that you can achieve a level of accuracy that might have seemed impossible before. This is especially true in real-world hunting scenarios, where knowing the exact distance to your target is critical. With the suggested point of aiming (SPOA) visibly marked in your scope, you can quickly and confidently adjust your aim to ensure a direct hit.
Ballistics across the board
Pulsar’s dedication to enhancing user experience is evident in their inclusion of ballistic calculations across all their riflescopes. This technology isn’t just limited to the latest models but extends across the board, including the popular Pulsar Trail thermal riflescopes, long favored by hunters, and the indispensable Digex C50 night vision riflescope. Furthermore, the widely used Thermion 2 line, available in both laser rangefinder (LRF) and non-LRF models, along with compact scopes like Talion and multispectral models like the Thermion Duo DXP50 and DXP55, now all feature ballistic calculations. This is a game-changer for the hunting community, providing precision even without a rangefinder.
Simplifying complex technology
Pulsar has also developed the Stream Vision Ballistics mobile app, lauded for its ease of use and simplicity. This app allows you to create one or several ballistic profiles, upload them to your scope, and then unplug—you don’t need an ongoing connection to use the sophisticated calculations. Once set up, simply select a profile, input your target distance manually or measure it with a handheld device, and your scope adjusts the SPOA instantly. If needed, you can also deactivate the SPOA from the scope’s menu for a more manual control experience.
Prioritising safety
Despite the advanced capabilities of these ballistic calculators, they require knowledgeable and cautious use. Proficiency comes with practice and understanding the tool’s capabilities and limitations. Remember, factors like sudden changes in wind can affect the margin of error. So, while the technology provides enhanced accuracy, always ensure that conditions are optimal and that you feel completely confident in your setup before taking a shot.
In essence, Pulsar is working hard to transform the landscape of shooting technology by making each shot more predictable and precise. This isn’t just about technology; it’s about making each shot count safely and confidently.
