Exterior ballistics is a very mature science. Unfortunately, many shooters have not been able to completely access this field of knowledge because it’s usually described in highly technical language. The objective of this book is to explain the important elements of exterior ballistics in a practical way that can be understood & applied by shooters.

This book also offers an original contribution to the long range shooting sports: experimentally measured Ballistic Coefficient (BC) data for over 175 long range bullets of all popular brands. With truly accurate BC’s, shooters are empowered to make very precise trajectory calculations.

Included Software
Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting includes a CD containing a modern ballistics program. Combined with experimentally measured BC’s, this program is capable of modeling extremely accurate trajectory predictions as verified in Chapter 8. This program has the unique ability to calculate spin drift using a method described in the book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Bryan Litz earned his Aerospace Engineering degree from the Pennsylvania State University in 2002. For the next 6 years, he worked for the US Air Force on air-to-air missile design, modeling & simulation. In 2008, Bryan became the Chief Ballistician for Berger bullets.

Bryan is also a very active & successful shooter. Some significant accomplishments include: US National Palma Champion (2008), firing member of the winning 2008 US Team in the Spirit of America International Rifle Match, & National Record Holder for the NRA iron sight midrange course (450-39X).
