Nice Balance of Theory and Practicality

I think the level of detail in this book is PERFECT. Bryan Litz just nailed it, covering virtually every relevant ballistics topic for the accuracy shooter while keeping math to a tolerable level. I find his text crystal clear and relatively easy to follow. I will say that it’s a long, deep drink for anyone not passing familiar with the chapter topics, however. Fortunately, most chapters stand on their own.The discussion of the development and importance of G7 coefficients is excellent (as you’d expect, given that the author developed them). Good examples are given and G1 vs G7 fit to accurate curves measured using Doppler radar are used extensively. In fact, ballistic coefficients are explained in depth, including how they relate to and change with velocity and precisely how they relate to form factor and sectional density. On a more practical level, I particularly liked the presentation of ballistic merit, especially as it relates to danger space, drop, and sight-in distance. That’s just one example of the practical advice in the book, however.I regard this title as a must-have, reference volume for anyone starting the study of ballistics. For most, it will be sufficient on its own.

Excellent book on long range shooting and ballistics

This is an excellent book on long range shooting and ballistics. Along with a team of instructors, I teach long range shooting (600yds plus). This book has most the elements of our lesson plan. The book is a bit over-the-head for most people, but is understandable if one has a basic understanding of ballistics and long range shooting. I highly recommend one take a course in ballistics and long range shooting (with actual shooting on the range), then read the book. Go to saferusa.com website to view the long range shooting course information. SaferUSA teaches courses for NRA, tactical, and advanced shooting with pistols, rifles, and shotguns. This will give one an overview of what's involved.Our students have gone from not hitting a target at 100 yards to under 12" groups at 600 yards in one day. The course and the book go hand-in-hand.Robert KnightFirearms InstructorRange MasterPistol ArmorerMetallic Cartridge ReloaderPistol and rifle competitorPolice Officer

A lot of good info

Great introduction chapter of weapon and projectile subject matter that are all later explained in great detail throughout the rest of the book. DVD also a good add that comes with the book.

A lot of very good technical information.

The value of this book can not be measured in dollars and cents. It is a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Ballistics is actually spelled BRYAN LITZ! This is the book.

This book rocks! Bryan Litz knows his ballistics and presents his knowledge in this easy to understand masterpiece.After all, what could possibly be cooler than being able to ***precisely*** determine the point of impact of 750 grains of pure excitement 1-2 miles away?In all seriousness, this is a fantastic book when it comes to understanding the factors involved in ballistic motion. Easy to read and understand with massive amounts of relevant information.

Written in plain English!

I've always found that true experts can explain complex concepts in simple terms. Brian Lutz has done so here. I haven't shot anything over 100 yrs in 30 years, but after reading this book I'm confident I understand the current state of the art and what I need to do to get in the game. Having the underlying math is great (actually fun for this econometrics PhD) but it isn't necessary to comprehending the science. And it's written in a manner that I will again enjoy reading each section as I need to review those points.

a good base for external ballistic

Calculation are clear even if a early physics basics of fluid mechanics are missing at the beginning to link with ballistic coefficient. Good data base and software included (but you need a CD drive !).

N**.

Good Book

Lots of good information I never knew. The author is a smart dude and is well qualified. He’s done a lot of work on ballistic coefficients for many popular bullets.
