Editing Bullet Properties
1 From the Applied Ballistics app, press START.
2 Select Profile > Bullet Properties.
3 Select an option:
• To automatically enter bullet properties from the
Applied Ballistics bullet database, select Bullet
Database, select your ballistic solver, and select the
bullet caliber, manufacturer, bullet, and drag curve.
NOTE: You can select the caliber of your bullet to
search a list of bullets within that caliber. Not all
cartridge names match the actual bullet caliber. For
example, a 300 Win Mag is a .308 caliber bullet.
• To manually enter bullet properties if your bullet is
not in the bullet database, press DOWN to scroll
through the options, and select the values to edit.
NOTE: You can find this information on the bullet
manufacturer's website.
Editing Gun Properties
1 From the Applied Ballistics app, press START.
2 Select Profile > Gun Properties.
3 Select an option to edit.
Calibrating the Muzzle Velocity
Calibrating the muzzle velocity provides a more accurate
solution in the supersonic range for your specific firearm.
1 From the Applied Ballistics app, press START.
2 Select Profile > Gun Properties > Calibrate Muzzle
Velocity.
3 Select an option:
• Select Range to edit the range.
• Select True Drop to edit the drop distance.
4 Select
.
Calibrating the Drop Scale Factor
Garmin recommends you calibrate the muzzle velocity
prior to the drop scale factor.
Calibrating the drop scale factor provides a more accurate
solution at or beyond the transonic range for your specific
firearm.
1 From the Applied Ballistics app, press START.
2 Select Profile > Gun Properties > Calibrate DSF.
3 Select an option:
• Select Range to edit the range.
• Select True Drop to edit the drop distance.
4 Select
.
Viewing the Drop Scale Factor Table
The drop scale factor table is populated after you calibrate
the drop scale factor. If necessary, you can reset the table
values to zero.
1 From the Applied Ballistics app, press START.
2 Select Profile > Gun Properties > View DSF Table.
3 If necessary, hold MENU, and select Clear DSF Table.
The table values reset to zero.
Editing the Muzzle Velocity and Temperature Table
1 From the Applied Ballistics app, press START.
2 Select Profile > Gun Properties > MV-Temp Table.
3 Hold MENU.
4 Select Edit.
5 Press DOWN or UP to scroll through the table.
6 Press START to edit a value.
7 Press BACK to save your changes.
8 Press BACK.
9 Select Muzzle Velocity > Enable MV-Temp to set the
muzzle velocity using the temperature table.
Clearing the Muzzle Velocity and Temperature Table
1 From the Applied Ballistics app, press START.
2 Select Profile > Gun Properties > MV-Temp Table.
3 Hold MENU.
4 Select Clear MV-Temp.
Applied Ballistics Glossary of Terms
NOTE: The Applied Ballistics feature is available only on
the D2 Mach 1 Pro device.
Shooting Solution Fields
DOF: The direction of fire, with north at 0 degrees and east
at 90 degrees. Input field.
TIP: You can use the compass to set this value by
pointing the top of the device toward the direction of
fire. The current compass value appears in the DOF
field. You can press START to use this value. You can
manually enter a value by pressing DOWN or UP.
NOTE: The DOF is used only for calculating the Coriolis
effect. If you are shooting at a target less than 1,000
yards away, this input field is optional.
Elevation: The vertical portion of the aiming solution,
displayed in milliradians (mil) or minute of angle
(MOA).
RNG: The distance to the target, displayed in yards or
meters. Input field.
W 1/2: The wind speed 1, wind speed 2, and wind
direction. For example, if the wind direction (DIR) is
9:00, the wind is blowing left to right as viewed by the
shooter. Input field.
NOTE: The wind speed 2 field is optional. Using both
wind speed 1 and wind speed 2 is not an effective
way to account for different wind speeds at different
distances between you and the target. Using these
fields is a way to bracket (isolate) the wind values and
calculate minimum and maximum windage values for
the solution.
Windage 1: The horizontal portion of the aiming solution
based on the wind speed 1 and wind direction,
displayed in milliradians (mil) or minute of angle
(MOA).
Windage 2: The horizontal portion of the aiming solution
based on the wind speed 2 and wind direction,
