Anybody know if you can change reticle view to show as POA instead of the yellow POI?
Didn't quite understand your question. Once you put in the target size into Sterlok, it shows the POI on the reticle basis the zero you set on your air gun. The pellet hits exactly at the point at which the target shows on your reticle. Unless you using a handgun which has a lower point of aim since the recoil pushes the barrel up.

Sorry if I was unclear. POA = Point of Aim and POI = Point of Impact. I would like to take a quick look at see POA instead of POI. Seeing POI means you then have to basically calculate a mirror image in your head. Seems like it would be much better if, while in the field, I could just take a look and say 4 mildots over and 2 mildots left.
Make sense?

Got it. 
don't think Sterlok has the feature. You have to enter multiple variables each time to see where to aim. What I did was to print out a few combinations of the reticle accounting for standard 5-10 mile winds and multiple distances. So now when I range a target and it says 100 yards and the wind I estimate to be 5 mile left to right, I know that I have to shoot 3 mil dots down and 1 mil dot to the right.
You could print a small reticle and stick it to your scope cover like this. It's much faster than entering variables into Sterlok.

I have the free Strelok and the cross hairs in the yellow is the POA for your hold over and windage. If you hold reticle on target the yellow is the POI. I don't understand where you get the mirror image needed from.

Bill, I think Bleemus want strelock to give the mark where to aime and not the point of impact. With the poi marked, you have to mirror your aiming point according to that.....

I have watched that video from Matt but don't recall him mentioning how to switch POI to POA in reticle view.
That at video is the reason I got Strelock though!

Go the ballistic chart way. Not to dredge up an old thread, but by chance are you putting the wind in backwards? Took me a few tries to realize the arrow on the wind direction was pointing from the outside of the circle AT "you."
So if the wind is blowing right to left you'd actually want to put the arrow so it shows 90° not -90°.
I was pushing the arrow from right to left which actually made it do just the opposite and I got the same mirror problem you described.
Push from the center triangle... "you"... toward the direction the wind is blowing FROM. Then the wide part of the arrow will be the origin of the wind and the small point will be where the wind is funneling its direction at... "you".
Hope that makes sense. Sometimes it's hard for me to describe in text. If it doesn't make sense though I can make a video on YouTube and post it here too. I'm super run down from work, but could do it tomorrow sometime if you'd want/like me to.

Just woke up from a long night so pardon the low "production values" lol! Either way here it is...

Yeah. I was using wind right but being a noob at this I wasn't wrapping my head around what Strelock was telling me. All is good now.
