RSI Shooting Lab 4.4

RSI's Shooting Lab software was the first component of the Shooting Lab system introduced in 1998. It helps shooters and hand loaders analyze loads, keep proper records, and more. Shooting Lab is much more than just another "exterior ballistics" program. Its exterior ballistics are based on methods developed at the U.S. Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory in Aberdeen, MD not 110 year old Ingalls. No other commercial shooting software has comparable exterior ballistics modeling capabilities... and exterior ballistics is less than 10% of the program! The Shooting Lab is a complete, fully developed software package and a valuable tool for any shooting sport. If you reload, it will help analyze components and keep you organized. If you hunt, it will help select calibers, ammo and set gun sights. If you compete, it will help analyze and improve your shooting.
One measure of software quality is its user interface or how easy the program is to use. The Shooting Lab is fully developed and packed with features that make it as "user-friendly" as possible given the subject matter. Information only needs to be entered one time to be accessed throughout the program with a simple mouse click. And, its design is flexible, so you can customize the program for your own personal shooting needs. Locations within the Shooting Lab program can be opened from a navigation palette, menu or keyboard commands. Data is linked between the various segments to reduce entry effort and allow quick retrieval via user defined pop-up menus. There are also general utilities that may be accessed from a "Main Lab Menu" anywhere in the program. The Shooting Lab takes exterior ballistics several steps further than other programs. Like other products it will compare the trajectories of different calibers and loads under varied shooting conditions, calculate the optimum sighting range and game for a load, or the windage and elevation adjustment needed to hit a target.
