Default Iron Sight Correction Calculator.

Another little program I wrote one evening when I was bored.

This one computes the amount and direction of movement required for iron sights to hit point of aim. Math works out for both pistols and rifles.

Overall screen shot without any entered data.



Sight correction calculation entered for a AK-47. Type of sight selected, parameters entered and calculate button pressed.



Same calculation, but allowing for an elevation adjustable rear sight.



Program runs on Windows 7, 8, and 10. Should work on Windows XP provided you have the latest updates. If there is enough interest/perceived value, I might make a version for the Android phones.

Free to use and share. Does NOT need an internet connection to work.

Feedback is always welcomed.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Looking at doing this one for Android, because it is more "range friendly". The Android APK libraries are open source (free). Haven't found free libraries or a compiler for IOS yet.
