Shotting Calculator
August 28th, 2007 by Matt
Instructions:
- Use the tabs to navigate across the different shot types.
- The up/down arrows will increment/decrement the amount of each type.
- Totals will be displayed at the bottom.
- Use the reset button to reset all amount to zero
The new Preston Stotz weigh roughly the same as normal shot in their respective sizes.
Pocket PC version
I created a Pocket PC version originally so I could use it on my Orange M500. I’ve since used it on devices running Windows Mobile 5 & 6 and it works fine. Please feel free to download and use as you wish. I originally posted a reference to this on my fishing blog.
I would welcome any feedback, especially any recommendations for future developments.
Download

Is there a version that works on the iPhone?
June 4th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Hi Barry
The current version will work with the iPhone. Works with mine on 3.0 anyway.
June 24th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Thx Matt, next question how do I get it on there?
September 11th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
i still dont get it i used for example a 0.50g float and it came up to about 8 number 8 shots to make that weight and it just sank. i am having great problems with this

Thank you.
This is such a brilliant little tool. Until I came across it I was totally confused.

how do i put it on my iphone
November 19th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Just browse to the page with Safari on your iPhone. You can zoom in pretty well and it works fine.

Hey Guys, Little Confused About The iPhone Page. Comes Up With An Error Request Everytime i Click On “iPhone”, Is It Just A Safari Broswer Thing?, Because That Does Not Work On My Laptop Or iPhone, Cheers

For people having issues on the iPhone, you don’t need to go to any other page to use it. Browse to this page in Safari and zoom into the calculator and it will work.

Thanks for that my mate, pure genious

So there is no app for this? you should make a download for this, or an iphone app, very helpfull, as most people dont have access to the internet.

“Most people dont have access to the internet”
How would they download it then!?
Great little app this, used it on my old windows media phone all the time but now I have moved to Blackberry I just connect off there and use it but must admit it is a drawn out affair and nowhere near as easy to use as the download was in the pocket pc format.

Great idea and would have been perfect if your styl sizes were correct. A size 20 styl actually weighs 0.302grams and 4 x 18s should weigh 0.876gram

Hi Rich, thanks for your feedback. Can you provide a reference the values and I’ll update accordingly.
Cheers
