New York, NY -–(Ammoland.com)- Generations of hunters, sportsmen, and gun collectors have relied on the Shooter’s Bible.
From the same preeminent source comes Shooter’s Bible Guide to Rifle Ballistics by Wayne van Zwoll.

Terminal bullet performance matters to hunters. Until you know what affects a bullet, you can’t control its path.
Here’s a sampling of what Rifle Ballistics can teach you:
- Using air pressure and the inevitable pull of gravity to your advantage
- Shooting better at long range, in wind, up and down hills, and at moving targets
- What makes some rifles kick harder more accurately than others
- How to get a short course on mirage and straight talk on bullet deflection in brush
- The effects of temperature and elevation on ballistics
- The fascinating history of firearms—from the discovery of gunpowder to rifiling, metallic cartridges, and optical sight
- Insights on rifle accuracy from the people who design and build rifles, and ballisticians who’ve come up with the latest high-performance cartridges
- And much more
