The Dashboard is the first page you see after logging in. It gives you a high-level summary of your entire shooting profile — how many firearms and ammo types you own, how many range days you've logged, and a quick look at your recent activity.

What You'll Find

• Stat Cards — Instant counts for Firearms, Ammo Types, and Range Days. Click any card to navigate directly to that section.
• Activity Summary — Shows your total rounds fired across all sessions and your current ammo stock count.
• Recent Sessions — Lists your three most recent shooting sessions with date, rounds fired, and accuracy rating.
• Collection Charts — A pie chart breaking down your firearms by type (Rifle, Handgun, Shotgun, Other) and a bar chart of your top calibers.

The Inventory Dashboard gives you a comprehensive financial and logistical view of everything you own. It tracks the estimated value of your firearms and ammo, provides visual breakdowns by caliber and type, and logs all transactions.

The Firearms page is your digital collection manager. Add every firearm you own with detailed specs, track rounds fired, and store photos, serial numbers, custom parts, and warranty information — all in one place.

Views & Filtering

• Detailed View — Cards showing type badge, manufacturer/model, caliber, rounds fired, and condition.
• List View — Compact rows for quick scanning when you have many firearms.
• Filter Button — The grey circular button next to + lets you filter by Gun Type, Caliber, Category, and Manufacturer simultaneously.

The Ammo page tracks every caliber and brand of ammunition you own. It automatically calculates your total round count from box count, alerts you when stock runs low, and deducts rounds automatically when you log a shooting session.

Adding Ammunition

Managing Stock

• Box Counter (+/−) — Use the plus and minus buttons on each card to adjust your box count directly without opening the edit form.
• Automatic Deduction — When you log a shooting session and select ammo, the rounds fired are automatically subtracted from your stock.
• Smart Deduplication — Adding ammo with the same manufacturer, caliber, grain, and rounds-per-box that already exists will increment your existing entry's box count rather than create a duplicate.

Barcode Scanner — Fast Entry

When adding a new ammo entry, you can scan the barcode on your ammo box to automatically look up and pre-fill the manufacturer, caliber, grain weight, and rounds-per-box fields — no manual typing required.

The Shooting page is the heart of Marksman Chronicle. Log every range day and hunting trip with detailed data — including chronograph readings, target photos, shot maps, scope adjustments, environmental conditions, and more.

• Set Placements — Once shooting is complete, assign a final placement (1st, 2nd, 3rd…) to each participant.
• Status Flow — Move tournaments through: Upcoming → In Progress → Completed.

The Ballistic Calculator uses a point-mass numerical solver to compute real-world trajectories for your specific firearm and ammo combination. It accounts for atmospheric conditions and outputs elevation and windage adjustments at every distance — your personal DOPE table.

Inputs

Output — DOPE Table

After clicking Calculate, the app generates a DOPE table from your zero distance out to 1,000 yards in configurable increments. Each row shows:

• Distance (yards)
• Elevation adjustment in MOA and MIL
• Wind drift at 10 mph full-value crosswind in MOA and MIL
• Remaining velocity (fps) and energy (ft-lbs)
• Time of flight (seconds)

Saving as a DOPE Sheet

Once calculated, you can save the result as a named DOPE Sheet linked to a specific firearm and ammo combination. Saved DOPE Sheets are accessible from the Firearms detail page and can be referenced in the field without recalculating.
