The Ballistic Solver for Precision Shooting was born where everything at VICTRIX is born: on the range, in the classroom and at the test bench. It is a ballistic calculator built on the method the company uses to design, build and proof its own rifles.
FROM SPREADSHEET TO BALLISTIC SOLVER
For years Giuseppe Valtorta, founder and CEO, computed the firing tables for his courses with a spreadsheet built row by row and checked shot by shot with the rifles designed and built in Cazzano Sant’Andrea. The Solver is the evolution of that work: the same method, brought into a tool that opens on a computer, a tablet or a phone. Built starting in 2021, it has been used within the company and by a few institutional customers for specific applications. With the new website it opens up to the sport shooter and the enthusiast too.
“The same attention and care I put into every rifle I have put into this program.”
— Giuseppe Valtorta
VALIDATED WITH DOPPLER RADAR AND REAL MEASUREMENTS
The computing models were checked one by one against real measurements: velocity and deceleration recorded with Doppler radar, impacts recorded with complex measuring systems, and tests repeated in different conditions and with different rifles. These are the same instruments and the same method with which VICTRIX designs, builds and proofs its rifles.
A BALLISTIC CALCULATOR THAT STATES ITS LIMITS
Ballistic calculators give a number, but they seldom say where it comes from. The Solver works on the real trajectory, the one that hits the target at the given range and angle, and always says what the answer rests on. The computing model is stated with its limits: where the program cannot give a reliable number, beyond the speed of sound for example, it says so instead of hiding it.
BALLISTIC SOLVER VERSIONS
Every version computes trajectory, elevation and drift, range and range card, with a broad ballistic library.
- Web Light: free for registered VICTRIX Academy users.
- GVX app and GVX PRO, for iPhone, iPad and Android: add saving, factory data and the advanced functions. GVX PRO is a dedicated paid app.
- Web L&E: reserved for units.
FOR THOSE WHO SHOOT FOR A LIVING
The Solver is designed for the police officer and the soldier employed in precision shooting, for those who train them and for those who look after their rifles. It serves in two moments: in preparation, with the table, the range card and the obstacle checks; in employment, with the numbers to dial and the holds on the reticle already there. The edition reserved for units includes the functions specific to operational employment.
A WARNING
No computation replaces verification on your own system. The Solver tells you what to expect and helps you recognise when something does not add up; the table you take to the range or into an operation is the one built on your own rifle and your own data, and confirmed with live fire.
Anyone who finds a result that does not add up can report it to academy@victrixarmaments.com, stating the program revision, the tab and the data entered.
