Revic schooling

[chindits]

I have been having troubles with the Revic ballistic calculator weather system. Before I went out hunting it seemed to hit the local weather station and adjust, but now it’s not even close. What have I done?

An accurate prehunt weather reading:


My recent weather results:


And what it really was with another system showing that I was actually in an area where I could hit a weather station:



Besides my elevation and pressure being totally off there are other questions I have about Revic:

Why do I have to go into settings every time to enter meters/US? It seems to default to yards/US between shooting sessions. I really don’t want to dick around with that every time I shoot.

Why if I go into settings and change from weather station mode to manual do I have to re-enter the environmentals multiple times because as I go to the next input the system changes the previous one? For example I’ll put in 9000’ and then when I’m inputting my temp or pressure I’ll see that it’s changed my elevation to 20,000 some odd feet or indicate an unrealistic pressure.

I can’t pair this up with my BR4 currently because I’ve sent that back for evaluation, however I really want to understand this for the sake of confidence.

School me please!

Not a Revic guy, but first question would probably be, what did you adjust? Was it the barometric pressure?

Barometric Pressure vs. Station Pressure: What's the Difference?

When it comes to measuring barometric pressure, there is a bit of science going on behind the scenes. Let's take a look at the difference between barometric vs. station pressure and the variables that go into calculating the two readings.

The way I understand it is if you go into ballistic calculator and then settings you can choose weather for nearest weather station or manual for obviously manual inputs. So I don’t think a manual entry should have any effect when I go back to the weather station mode.

See here:


If my weather station is off the wall or I am at a higher elevation I might try and go manual and enter an accurate elevation. Since I don’t have a kestrel I don’t adjust the pressure. Nonetheless I’m not understanding why when I’m back at my home range the weather station environmentals are so whacked. This is my current off the wall results and just so there’s no confusion with the pictures, I live in the central Rocky Mountains not the coast:

And without any changes on my part everything looks fine with weather station readings this morning. What the hell is going on here?

Delete the app, then reinstall.

Awesome it kept all my profiles intact now I’ll have to see how long it lasts, hopefully more than two weeks.

So back to my op

How do I keep my settings m/US it keeps reverting back to yards/us every time I exit the app
