In previous blogs Shooting Range Industries have explored the advantage of the Ballistic Coefficient (BC) in BC-Part 1, and defined some key terms and concepts as we can see that velocity plays a key role in long range precision engagements. Before we explain how BC is determined, we have some more key terms and concepts…

We’ve investigated the advantage of the BC (Ballistic Coefficient) in BC-Part 1, and we can see that velocity plays a key role in long range precision engagements. But what is BC and how is determined? First some terms and concepts. Ballistic Coefficient Terms & Concepts • Air resistance is the frictional force that air exerts…
BC in this case does not refer to the calendar but to the ballistic coefficient (BC). All objects that move through the air must deal with drag. Aircraft, rockets/missiles and bullets. The powered object or winged objects model this resistance to the passage of an object by the drag coefficient. Ballisticians define their drag models…
There is much controversy related to firearms, if given the choice most of us when facing a dire confrontation will admit they’d rather be armed than not. Most would rather have a gun, though some would prefer the edge in close confrontations. From rock, to club to spear and sword, to the state of art…
Consider for a moment that earth’s gravity is constant. Though fluctuations exist we will be referencing the equatorial sea level average of 32.17 feet per second per second. Once a bullet leaves the barrel two forces begin to act to diminish range and velocity. Gravity will pull the bullet towards the earth’s surface (gravity acts…
There is always a sinking feeling in your gut when you see the familiar red and blue flashing followed by a few rounds of the sirens howling behind you; you just got caught pushing the speed limit. Where no one particularly enjoys the formality of getting pulled over, there are a few things you can…
If you are thinking about getting yourself certified to carry a gun concealed there are a list of things that you will need to know. You need to attend classes that will test your knowledge of safe carry as well as how well you shoot. You want to be sure you have taken time to…
