Question 1

Where can I find an ammunition's Ballistic Coefficient, Drag Model and Weight?

Accepted Answer

Most often, this information can be found on the back of your ammunition box or carton.
      In some cases you will have information for both a G1 and G7 drag model.
      G1 is preferrable for flat-based bullets, whereas G7 is ordinarily a \"better fit\" for longer, boat-tailed bullets.

Question 2

Where can I find a firearm's Muzzle Velocity?

Accepted Answer

Muzzle velocity estimates can be found on your ammunition packaging, reloading book or on your firearm manufacturer's
      website. However, many variables, including your selected ammunition, will impact your firearms muzzle velocity and
      therefore these suggested values may not be accurate. For best results, we suggest capturing muzzle velocity using a
      chronograph. Your local hunting / sporting goods store can usually help you capture this value.

Question 3

What value should I provide for Altitude?

Accepted Answer

We are looking for the average altitude of where you will be hunting/shooting in feet (FT) above sea level.
      You turret will remain accurate within 2,000 ft above and below the entered value (i.e. you have 4,000 FT window to work with).
      In terms of environmental factors, altitude and temperature are going to have the largest impact on the accuracy of your turret.
      Therefore, if you plan to use your firearm in multiple locations with large variences in altitude,
      we recommend purchasing multiple turrets with different altitude values to ensure turret accuracy.
      The easiest way to find the altitude of your location is a simple google search (e.g. altitude of 'my location').

Question 4

What value should I provide for Temperature?

Accepted Answer

We are looking for the average temperature where you will be hunting/shooting in Degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
      Your turret will remain accurate 20°F above and below the entered value (i.e. you have a 40°F window to work with).
      In terms of environmental factors, altitude and temperature are going to have the largest impact on the accuracy of your turret.
      Therefore, if you plan to use your firearm in locations with large variences in termperature or across multiple seasons,
      we recommend purchasing multiple turrets for warm and cold weather to ensure turret accuracy.

Question 5

What value should I provide for Barometric Pressure?

Accepted Answer

We are looking for the average barometric pressure in the location you will be hunting/shooting,
      measured in inches of mercury (inHG). The average barometric pressure for most of North America is 29.53 inHG.
      However, the easiest way to find the barometric pressure in your location is a simple google search (e.g. barometric
      pressure in 'my location'). In general, barometric pressure and humidity have a fairly small impact
      on your turret's overall accuracy, but the more accurate the values you provide are, the more accurate your turret will be.

Question 6

What value should I provide for Humidity?

Accepted Answer

We are looking for the average humidity in the location where you will be hunting or shooting as a percentage.
      Your turret will remain accurate 20% above and below the entered value (i.e. you have a 40% window to work with).
      The average humidity for most of North America is 78%. However, the easiest way to find the average humidity in your
      location is a simple google search (e.g. average humidity in 'my location'). In general, barometric pressure and
      humidity have a fairly small impact on your turret's overall accuracy, but the more accurate the values you provide are,
      the more accurate your turret will be.

Question 7

How long until I recieve my Ballistix custom turret?

Accepted Answer

Custom turrets are typically engraved or printed within 2 business days of receiving your order.
      We know your keen to get shooting so we do our best to ship your custom turret on the same day it is completed.

Question 8

How can I track my order?

Accepted Answer

As soon as we complete your turret and have it ready to ship, you will recieve an email letting you know
      your shipment has been registered. In that same email you will also recieve a tracking link that will provide you
      with updates on your turrets whereabouts.

Question 9

What is a custom turret?

Accepted Answer

A custom Ballistix turret is a user-installed replacement for a stock elevation turret.
      It replaces the indicators on the factory turret (clicks, MOA, MILRAD etc.) with precise yardage markers.
      Simply range find your target, dial in your turret, breathe and shoot. With Ballistix, you're dialed-in and dead-on every time.
