Safety & Accuracy Disclaimer
Last updated: August 2026
DOPE ("the App") is an informational ballistics reference tool. The firing solutions, holdovers, turret corrections, reticle views, and zeroing suggestions it produces are estimates generated from a mathematical model and the data you enter. They are not guarantees of where a projectile will strike.
Always verify with live fire
No calculator can account for every variable — your specific barrel, ammunition lot, chronographed velocity, sight setup, atmospheric conditions, and shooting position all affect the real result. Always confirm your zero and your come-ups with live fire on a known-distance range before relying on any output from this App, and re-verify when conditions or equipment change.
Firearm safety is your responsibility
You are solely responsible for the safe and lawful handling of any firearm. At all times:
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
- Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have decided to fire.
- Be certain of your target and what is beyond it.
- Know and obey all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
No liability
The App is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any injury, death, property damage, legal consequence, or other loss arising from the use of, or reliance on, this App or its output. By using the App you accept full responsibility for your own conduct and results.
Lawful use only
This App is intended for lawful target shooting, hunting, and educational use. It does not sell, broker, or facilitate the transfer of firearms, ammunition, or related items. Do not use it for any unlawful purpose.
