- Creating a ballistic table for the Arken Zulus LRF with the DNT ballistic App and sending to the onboard memory /ballistic calculator with WIFI and adding a ballistic table to the ballistic table option with Bluetooth.
Thank you for these videos! They have been a tremendous help. You've earned my subscription.
@@marku123 Thanks for saying that 🙂 and thanks for subscribing much appreciated 👍
@@cjoutdoors8264 Let me ask, I tried playing with this last night and I'm having a heck of a time connecting to Bluetooth, WIFI is not a problem, is Bluetooth the only way to send the ballistics table to the scope?
@@marku123 yes only Bluetooth for table, I also find Bluetooth can be troublesome at time , for me it can sometimes drop the connection and I have to reconnect . If its bad a phone reboot does help and scope off and back on.
I emailed DNT today to ask if you could switch profiles for ballistics within the zulas! Now watching your video I've got my answer 😁.. Top man thanks..
Hi, thanks 🙂 glad it was of help 👍
Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I have
Another great video top bloke cheers
@@madness6780 thanks for the comment, appreciate that 👍🙂
Hello mate just want to say big thank-you for all the effort you put in to making these instruction videos so clear and easy to follow your a star. I was wondering would you recommend changing from the standard arken supplied mount to the adjustable eaglevision mount?
Hi ,thanks for saying that ,I appreciate it 🙂. If the arken mount is working for you stick with it , my arken came with a 35moa and was so far off and they weren't selling the full selection of mounts then. So I got the eaglevision , its ok 😶 it can be a real pain to set , I've never got it exact ,always have to finish with scope zero. If I could clamp the rifle down tight it would be easier to set . I always check zero out of the case, it does seem to move if its a tight fit in the case . I've got it in a new rifle case now will see tomorrow if its held zero. If it doesn't I'm thinking I'll get a 20moa zulus .
What mount are you using on your HW100 ?
@cjoutdoors8264 thanks for the reply mate, I'm using the 35moa, I thought maybe the eaglevision would help do away with the reticle shift from base mag to 7.5, followed all your instructions earlier to set the dnt app and noticed the mount you were using
@@aranhw1007 👍 eaglevision does work but it's a faff to set. There is the ZB pro universal , not used one and read mixed reviews about it ,just another option .
@@cjoutdoors8264 ok mate nice one I will have a look but most likely stick to what ain't broke, don't need fixing.👍all the best
All working now, I done another hard reset on iphone
Very good 🙂 glad you got it sorted 👍
I've updated mine ok,
Many thanks for Video.
I've got one gripe with this update tho, losing cm within tables for inches, I'm guessing that's for the American market. 👍
@@paul147a ta for the comment 👍 go to ballistic table - cog on top right, cm tab in there
@cjoutdoors8264 Thanks for the advice, all sorted now. Cheers👍
would be useful if at that end you used the LRF at a couple of distances to see the hold over/hold under to check the table and the red mark on the reticle. Mine is with DNT for a bit....the new firmware borked it. Engineers want to look and see if it can be fixed.
Hi, yes did think about showing that but the vid was getting long . sorry to hear that ,its not good when things don't work , I've not not come heard many faulty scopes ,hope they get it sorted for you quickly 👍
Hi Charlie. I’m nearly complete, all thanks to you, but can you please help me with a question? On the ballistic calculator do I have to adjust the bc (shooting low beyond zero range so I need to increase bc) on the app and send it to the scope or can I simply adjust it on the scope and save? Is that all I need to do? Many thanks in advance.
Hi, did you create the table in scope or on the phone and send ! , if you've sent from phone you should be able to edit it in scope and not have to use phone , Iv not tried doing that but should be doable .
@@cjoutdoors8264 Thanks very much for your prompt reply. I created it on my phone and sent it to the scope. When using the ballistic calculator at beyond the zero range it shot low so I increased the bc in increments directly to the scope several times and saved it each time. However, it made no difference to the point of impact so I started from scratch on my phone and entered a slightly increased bc for the pellet from the original figure provided on the app and sent it to the scope. It’s bang on now BUT I don’t think I selected ballistic calculator on the scope when I’d increased the bc direct to the scope and took further shots. I believe I may have left it on the ballistic data settings. Would this account for the POI not changing? If so this may help others with the same problem. I’m one of many chaps on here who really appreciate your help with setting up the Zulus. Thank you.
@@simonwillett9672 yes ,having it on ballistic data/table the changes wouldn't be used. It's easy to pick the wrong option , Iv done the same, I always check now . Glad you got it sorted ,can take some effort but worth it 👍 . Glad that these vids have been helpful 🙂 and appreciate you saying so 👍
@@cjoutdoors8264 I’m glad it’s not only me! Thanks once again for your advice. It’s certainly worth persevering. I’m very pleased with it so far and look forward to using it in anger very soon.
@@simonwillett9672 Days are getting shorter fast now 😐 the scope will be getting used to it's full potential 👍
What’s the difference in using the ballistic calculator or ballistic table on the unit to get your aiming solution?
Hi, no difference in getting the aiming solution , difference is if you have inputted ballistic tables into ballistic tables A B C D E , you can change the table your using in scope by just selecting the profile you need ,no need for the phone. With ballistic table ,only one ballistic table available at a time ,so to change this you have to send a new table from the phone.
Morning Charlie.
Managed to get the velocity figures for my fac R12, put them all into the ballistic calculation.
I was unsure of what Bc figure the jsb exact Diablo 15.89g in .22 was so put it in as 0.027. I’ve tested the rifle at 10, 30, 50 and 70 yards and is absolutely bob on.
However I’ve since stumbled over the pellet list with in the Arken app and the Bc for the 15.89 Jsb is 0.32.
Should I alter it or leave alone.
I’ve some 21g pellets to add to profile also.
Videos are most helpful 👍
Morning Philip , keep your BC , sounds like you've done a great job of setting it up 👍
I usually have to change the BC value a little .
@@cjoutdoors8264 thanks.
It does seem to change the ballistic values in the table quite a bit.
If I download the DNT app will I then have to re load the firmware and ballistic figures from scratch?
I’m not technically minded so apologies if question seems a bit dumb, it’s one reason I love these step by step guides.
@@philipasbury9173 Yes ,you'll have to reload every thing and the new firmware to scope will remove all your set zeros , make note of your values in the ballistic table, zero distance, scope height, BC and velocity are the important ones , also make a not of your zero values in the scope ,X and Y and just put the values back in after update . No questions are dumb 🙂. Glad these guides are of use 👍
@@cjoutdoors8264
Many thanks, I’ll make sure I note those figures.
Must say it’s a really impressive lightweight scope with a huge range of features that are easily accessible and value for money 👍
@@philipasbury9173 👍 Agreed good scope ,value for money .Arken are a good company I've sent them a couple of emails over the time I've had it and they reply always willing to help ,there listening to there customers and are making changes in the firmware to improve it 👍
Done everything as stated on your vid but I keep getting ballistic algorithm not activated when I double press lrf..any ideas please?
Hi, if using ballistic calculator have you selected it in menu ,same with ballistic table, select ballistic table.
I get the same thing , ballistic algorithm not activated, also the the ballistic table name.is not being updated in system settings.
I've followed the video step by step.
@@johndenton1775 Hi, are you sure sure you have selected the correct ballistic option .ie ballistic calculator/ballistic table to match the table you want to use. I have noticed that when you send a table from the app to ballistic table option that was saved in the scope (so a duplicate to table ) it wont accept the same name. If you know its not the setting you selected then you may have to uninstall the app and reinstall , You will probably have to put your data back in 🙁 so make a note of them, sorry not much help on this
I can’t get my paper plane to turn blue?
Hi, have you switch the Bluetooth on in system ,
Yes
@@dzl2716 does the phone see the scope and connect ,
The phone does see the scope in Bluetooth, the Bluetooth icon turns blue, however the paper plane does not to blue on the ballistic table page?
@@dzl2716 Sorry missed this, are you still having problems ! just thinking of other things to try ,phone reboot , scope = factory reset but this will remove all the info you have put in .
