Applied Ballistics For Long-Range Shooting 3rd Edition: Understanding the Elements and Application of External Ballistics for Successful Long-Range Target Shooting and Hunting Kindle Edition

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.

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.

Very excellent book. For me, it is just the right balance of technical and practical. Bryan Litz is both a scientist and a successful long range competitor, so he has both technical knowledge and a lot of experience in the practicalities of long range shooting. These come through clearly in the book. It is just what I was looking for. Highly recommended.

Well written and easy to read treatise on a very complex subject. I read this as a primer to getting into long range target shooting (primarily F-Class) and came to appreciate all the variables that spell success (or failure) in this pursuit. While these at first appeared overwhelming, the author does an excellent job of suggesting an approach that allows to prioritize and address the most important factors for a given situation. I also came to really appreciate the training and expertise by the snipers in our military.

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.

This is THE book on ballistics. If you're not familiar with Bryan Litz then google him. He is the greatest ballistician in history. His writing style is relaxed and he's easy to read and understand. This book is fantastic. Just buy it already.

A comprehensive, in-depth book by one of the world's best long range shooters and ballistics experts on bullet performance for 1000 yard shooting and beyond. While it won't help you read the wind, it does provide invaluable information on exterior ballistics performance for long range aficionados. Diagrams, charts and data all presented in a format that does NOT require a Ph,d in math or engineering.

If you are serious about long range shooting this is your "bible". Understand what goes into making the proper decisions based upon facts rather than guess work. The ballistics calculator will pay for the book in ammo costs alone.

Bryan Litz ingegnere aerospaziale con elevata specializzazione nella balistica dei vettori lavora come progettista responsabile presso la Berger Bullets, tiratore agonista è riuscito a spiegare la balistica esterna con disegni e grafici, per gli esperti ci sono ovviamente le formule.A corredo c'è il DVD con il software di calcolo traiettoria basato su 3 variabili, nella tabella si inseriscono i dati dell'ogiva, della V0 e delle direzioni del vento e velocità.I risultati di caduta e drift sono espressi in misure Imperiali e Metriche.Grande ed utile testo per chi è appassionato o vuole conoscere ed approfondire le conoscenze realmente e non per sentito dire al poligono "dammiocuggino".Unico limite? Ovviamente la lingua, è in inglese e non esiste una versione tradotta.Ma con un pò di buona volontà si impara sempre e comunque....Grazie Bryan!!

O livro esclarece todas as dúvidas sobre o tiro a longa distância. Em uma linguagem fácil de ser entendida, ele expõe todas as variáveis que influenciam o projétil durante a sua trajetória até o alvo, procurando isolar cada uma delas e variando os fatores que afetam o seu desvio da linha de visada. Para quem deseja entrar nessa nova modalidade de tiro, o livro é fundamental. Aprendi muito!!

Bryan LITZ non si smentisce mai!Questa versione aggiornata del libro, racchiude tutte le informazioni essenziali per ogni tiratore professionista e sportivo. Utilissimi inoltre i dati delle palle commerciali da ricarica.

It's what I was after, however I thought it was the hardcover, not the kindle edition. Oh well my own fault :)

Très bon livre
