Today I’m excited to share something that’s been in the works for a while: the Ballistics.Systems Members Section is now open to the public.
You can access it right now at members.ballistics.systems.
This has been one of the most anticipated pieces of the platform roadmap — a dedicated, login-protected environment where members get access to a growing suite of tools, resources, and features designed specifically for shooters and reloaders who want to get more out of the platform.
Registration is free, and getting started takes about a minute.
What the Members Section Is
The Members Section is a standalone web application built from the ground up alongside the main Ballistics.Systems site. It shares the same engineering principles — accuracy, transparency, performance — but extends them into a persistent, personalized workspace.
Once you create an account and log in, you land on a clean, organized Member Dashboard that groups everything into clear categories so you can find what you need fast.
What’s Available Right Now
The Members Section launches with a focused set of tools and features, with a clear roadmap for what’s coming next.
Calculators
All three of the platform’s core calculators are available inside the Members Section:
- Twist Rate & Stability — Compute gyroscopic stability (Sg) using the Miller Twist Rule, with full environmental adjustments
- Pressure Check — Screen your loads against SAAMI pressure data to flag combinations that may warrant closer scrutiny
- Ladder Test — Run structured Satterlee-style load development tests with guided charge selection, velocity entry, and automatic node detection
These are the same tools available on the public site, brought into the member environment as the foundation for future features like saved results, personal profiles, and cross-tool data sharing.
Range Tools
The first feature in the Range Tools category is Targets — a resource page where members can download a printable, Ballistics.Systems-branded 1-inch grid target PDF. The target is designed for 100-yard use, compatible with both MIL and MOA reticles, and includes:
- 1″ major grid squares with 0.25″ subdivisions
- A Cold Bore tracking area
- Fields for Date, Distance, and Remarks
- Landscape format (11″ × 8.5″) on standard US Letter paper
Unlimited downloads — print as many as you need and leave copies at the range.
Account Management
The Members Section includes a full account management system:
- Profile settings — manage your name and contact information
- Security — change your password with client-side and server-side validation
- Email management — update your email address with confirmation-based verification
The authentication system supports secure registration with email confirmation, password reset flows, and session management — all built on a hardened .NET API backend.
Polished, Themeable Interface
The entire Members Section supports both dark and light themes, toggled with a single click from any page. The interface is built with a modern Angular frontend using the Manrope typeface, responsive layouts, and a clean sidebar navigation that organizes tools into logical groups.
What’s Coming Next
The Members Section is designed to grow. The navigation already reflects the planned roadmap, with categories and tools staged for future development:
Load Data — Reloading Inventory, Load Recipe Book, Handload Cost Calculator, and Cartridge Comparison tools are all on the roadmap for this category.
Range Tools — Range Day Logger, Rifle & Barrel Tracker, and Shot Group Analyzer are planned to join the existing Targets feature.
Calculators — Ballistic Calculator and Drop Charts are next in line alongside the three tools already live.
Bench Data — Rifle Library and Bullet Library will give members a place to store and organize their firearms and component data.
As each of these tools comes online, they’ll share data through a unified member profile — meaning your rifles, loads, and session data will connect across tools in ways that standalone calculators can’t offer.
Why It Matters
The public tools on Ballistics.Systems are designed to be useful to anyone, no account required. That won’t change.
The Members Section exists for shooters who want to go deeper — who want to save their work, build a personal data library, and eventually have their tools talk to each other. It’s the difference between running a quick calculation and building a structured, data-driven approach to precision shooting.
This is still early. But the foundation is solid, the architecture is built for growth, and every new feature will extend what’s already here rather than replacing it.
Get Started
Head to members.ballistics.systems and create your account. It’s free, it takes a minute, and you’ll be set up to access everything that’s live today — plus everything that’s coming.
If you have feedback, ideas, or run into anything that could be improved, I want to hear from you. Reach out through the Contact page or visit the Contribute page if you’d like to help shape what comes next.
Thank you for being part of this project. There’s a lot more to come.
