NEW EXACT SMALL ARMS BALLISTICS: THE SOURCE FOR RIFLEMEN

NEW EXACT SMALL ARMS BALLISTICS: THE SOURCE FOR RIFLEMEN An authoritative new book by Art Pejsa, pioneer Honeywell aerospace physicist, US Naval Academy math prof & NRA rifle expert. Covers a wide range of informative topics including the basic fundamentals of physics, with a large glossary, & extensive ballistics tables.A decade of original research by Pejsa has produced a set of new, simple but exact formulas & a method for do-it-yourself ballistics. Easy examples show how to calculate any of the data. A great text for an elementary course in exterior ballistics.The advanced novel methods devised by Arthur Pejsa permit air drag to be modeled precisely by simple, exact formulas for unheard-of precision. The software program computes trajectories, velocity, flight time, wind deflection, etc. with near-perfect accuracy. Other programs assume a fixed drag curve, usually that prescribed by the popular Ingalls Tables, which poorly fit the drag curves of modern, streamlined projectiles. With the Pejsa Ballistics program, velocity & drag data can be matched, permitting unequaled precision. With this program, shooters may, for instance, specify any hit height at any range or a maximum height at midrange. Output data may be in tables or plotted as curves. Ballistic coefficients, recoil, midrange, etc. may be computed as well as effects of temperature, altitude & inclines. This superior program is user-friendly, complete &, above all, ACCURATE enough to serve as the reference for evaluating other formulas & programs.WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY: "The first ballistics book that relates, practically, to sporting cartridges."Noted shooting expert & writer - Jim Carmichael"The first treatment of ballistics, with drag, I've ever really understood. Congratulations!." - A University of Kentucky engineer"You have accomplished what I would dare to call a 'Copernican Revolution' in ballistics & shooting." - A marksman from France"Your program is magical--the only one that makes sense at 1000 yards." - An expert from England ISBN: 0-9749902-6-4 publish date: 02/14/2008
