Product Overview
The Ace™ Ballistic Weather Meter gathers live wind and weather data using an on-board compass, integrated wind meter, and exposed sensors that track temperature, pressure and humidity. These real-time readings feed directly into the integrated GeoBallistics® solver, which calculates precise wind and drop solutions for your specific rifle and ammunition profile — ten common cartridge profiles are preloaded, and each can be customised or replaced with your own data.
A large, intuitive 2.0" LCD display presents wind and drop data clearly across four selectable HUD layouts — Advanced, Simple, Wind or Mover — so the screen can be matched to what you actually need in the moment. A built-in range card generator stores up to ten saved cards with drop and wind corrections, alongside a ballistic chart generator and wind truing capability that lets you refine your wind hold based on observed impacts in the field.
The Ace can be used entirely on its own, or connected to other Vortex Relay™-enabled devices to share real-time ballistic, environmental and rifle-specific data across your setup. Waterproof and shockproof construction, powered by two standard AA batteries, makes it a genuinely practical field tool for the range, competition, or the next hunt.
