NOTE: If your Garmin Connect account and Strava account are linked, your activity is automatically sent to your
Strava account so you can review the segment position.

WARNING
The Applied Ballistics feature is intended to provide accurate elevation and windage solutions based on gun and
bullet profiles and measurements of current conditions only. Depending on your environment, conditions may
change rapidly. Changes in environmental conditions, like wind gusts or downrange winds, may have an effect
on the accuracy of your shot. Elevation and windage solutions are suggestions only based upon your input into
the feature. Take readings often and carefully, and allow the readings to stabilize after significant changes in
environmental conditions. Always allow a margin of safety for changing conditions and reading errors.
Always understand your target and what lies beyond your target before taking a shot. Failure to account for your
shooting environment could cause property damage, injury, or death.
The Applied Ballistics feature offers customized aiming solutions for long-range shooting based on your
rifle characteristics, bullet characteristics, and various environmental conditions. You can enter parameters
including wind, temperature, humidity, range, and firing direction.
This feature provides the information you need to fire long-range projectiles, including elevation holdover,
windage, and time of flight. It also includes custom drag models for your bullet type. Go to appliedballisticsllc
.com for more details about this feature. See the Applied Ballistics Glossary of Terms, page72 for descriptions
of the terms and data fields.
NOTE: You may need to upgrade the ballistic solver in the AB Synapse - Garmin app to unlock all Applied
Ballistics features (AB Synapse - Garmin App, page67).
AB Synapse - Garmin App
The AB Synapse - Garmin app allows you to manage ballistic profiles on your Descent watch, or upgrade your
ballistic solver, if necessary. You can download the AB Synapse - Garmin app from the app store on your phone.
