Ep. 173 | Long Range 1005 The True Science Behind Ballistics with Applied Ballistics
Just when you thought we\u2019d gone as far as we could go with the \u201cLong Range 100_\u201d series, Chris Wienche and Mitchell Fitzpatrick from Applied Ballistics showed up and opened our eyes to a whole new layer of long range shooting and understanding of ballistics. Chances are, if you shoot any sort of long range, you use a ballistics calculator. The beauty in using one of these calculators is all the work has already been done for you and you don\u2019t need to be a ballistician to hit the target. Long before you even hit the range, though, someone does have to crunch all those numbers and take every ballistic variable into account \u2013 bullet shape, weight, drag, air density, temperature, ballistic jump, spin drift, when a projectile goes transonic, and so much more it would make your head spin! Speaking of heads spinning, that just might be what happens when you tune in to this one. You\u2019ve been warned! Put your nerd cap on and enjoy some pure science flowing right into your ear holes. Don\u2019t forget, too, it\u2019s the great minds behind the scenes like these guys that did the development of the ballistics solutions inside the Fury HD 5000 AB ballistic rangefinding binocular! \n\nAs always, we want to hear your feedback!
