Analog Ballistic System

The F.I.R.E. Analog Ballistic System is the next evolutionary step in long range shooting aids. F.I.R.E. ABS is the culmination of over a century of tried and true mathematical formulas and techniques that have served as the backbone of the long range shooting community. While most formulas and techniques have been around for decades, there has always been “black magic” to the art of long range shooting. F.I.R.E. ABS consolidates, streamlines and systemizes the formulas and techniques into a logical manually operated format that is not only easy to understand and use, but easy to teach as well.

FAST: Currently, most if not all calculations that are needed for long range shooting are made with a handheld pocket calculator or PDA device. While no one disputes the speed of a calculator, the issue lies with the need to accurately and repeatedly press the same little button(s) regardless of the surrounding situation

F.I.R.E. ABS resolves this issue by enlarging the contact surfaces. Through the use of ergonomically designed dials and pointers, while keeping the unit small enough to fit into a standard military BDU leg pocket or similarly sized pouch.

INTUITIVE: When using other types of exterior ballistic computing devices there may seem to be a disconnect, between the information being punched in and the answers that are coming out. If an incorrect, or what seems to be an incorrect answer is displayed it is very unlikely that one is able to diagnose the problem which then may cause confusion or distrust of the gear; at the very least the whole process must be started over.

The unique analog nature of the F.I.R.E. ABS system alleviates confusion by being constructed of several independently manually manipulated parts. Because the operator is rapidly manually calculating the firing solution; if the is doubt in his calculation or is interrupted he can simply view the previous calculation without entirely starting over. Thus, the operator can diagnose the issue and quickly recognize and remedy the issue, even in a high stress environment.

The ergonomic layout along with a simple systematic approach enables F.I.R.E. ABS to be used as a training tool. The added benefits of the F.I.R.E. ABS system aid in the initial grasping of concepts dealing with long range shooting. Once these concepts are understood; F.I.R.E. ABS becomes an invaluable exterior ballistic computing tool for use in the field.

RELIABLE: The reliability and repeatability of the F.I.R.E. ABS system was a primary concern when under going development. F.I.R.E. ABS is dependent solely on one’s ability to manipulate a dial or pointer; there is nothing more reliable than the human finger. Several common shooting aids need a stylus or other small pencil like objects to input data which are difficult to grasp but may also become easily lost rendering the unit useless.

Unlike other systems which require batteries or need to be carefully handled and maintained, F.I.R.E. ABS is constructed of temperature and weather stable materials increasing its survivability and durability in the field. Although not recommended F.I.R.E. ABS is able to be bent, creased, torn, frozen, left in blazing sunlight, and submerged for prolonged periods of time while still being usable and effective.

EFFECTIVE: F.I.R.E. ABS consolidates and systemizes the necessary steps to achieve a high percentage first shot hit capability into a robust yet simple ergonomically designed package. Not only does this improve initial orientation and simplify training, but offers a simple, better, cost effective alternative to other more expensive, less durable long distance shooting aids.
