## 1. Overview

### 1.1 AtragMx from Horus Vision

Horus ATragMX software considers atmospheric conditions, gun data, ammunition, range, speed and muzzle velocity to calculate precise aiming solutions with "come-up" results – and even accounts for Coriolis and spin drift effects. ATragMX, loaded on a handheld computer made by TDS Recon, is easy to use and lightning-fast. The Recon meets the rigorous MIL-STD-810F military standard for drops, vibration, humidity, altitude and extreme temperatures.

- Open the `Gun` column, check and update the `Bore`, the `Rifle Twist` and `Done`.
- Select `M` (Metric unit) at the top right.
- Open the `Gun` column, check and update the `Muzzle Velocity`, the `Zero Range` and `Done`. 
- *The Muzzle Velocity Table will be automatically updated.* [[Manual]](https://horusvision.com/download/manual_Horus_ATrag-v385.pdf#page=22)
- *(Must be edited manually for specific cartridges according with the range card)*
- Optionally, `Save Gun` and `Done` in the `GunList`.
 
**In position:**
- Update the `Atmsphr` column with the [Kestrel 4500](https://ace3mod.com/wiki/feature/kestrel4500.html) and `Done`.
- *Check the new `Muzzle Velocity` in the `Gun` column.*
- Update the `Target` column. [[1]](https://horusvision.com/download/manual_Horus_ATrag-v385.pdf#page=16) [[2]](https://horusvision.com/download/manual_Horus_ATrag-v385.pdf#page=30) [[3]](https://horusvision.com/download/manual_Horus_ATrag-v385.pdf#page=32) [[4]](https://horusvision.com/download/manual_Horus_ATrag-v385.pdf#page=33)
- Apply the vertical and horizontal elevations on the [scope](https://ace3mod.com/wiki/feature/scopes.html).
- Control the breath and press.
 
### 3.3 Example with Truing tool
 
**Start of the mission:**
- Select `Drag Coef Table` in the `Options` menu.
- Add the `ZR` and the `C1` (`Gun` column) in the table and `Done`.

- Apply the actual scope elevation in the `Drop` field and `Calc`.
- `Accept` the new `C1`, `Gun` column and `Elev` are updated.
- *The Drag Coefficient Table will be automatically updated.* [[Manual]](https://horusvision.com/download/manual_Horus_ATrag-v385.pdf#page=22)
