New Book: Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting

[Bryan Litz Ballistics]

Announcing:

Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting
By: Bryan Litz

In a nutshell; this book focuses on the uncertainties of practical shooting which affect hit percentage on various size targets. In other words, classic ballistics teaches you how to calculate windage and elevation corrections. This book will help you understand what your chances are of hitting a target under certain conditions, and how to improve those chances through training and design.

Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting is a 6"x9" hardcover book with 300 pages, and retails for $34.95.

$5 discount for pre-orders!
The book is currently at the printers, and should begin shipping by October 15th. In the mean time, you can pre-order and save $5 off the retail price $34.95.

[CADDIE5]

Preordered mine to go along with my applied ballistics for long range shooting vol 1 & 2 and berger reloading manual. Waiting patiently for Nancy Tompkins Gallagher's book to complete the winter reading library. Thanks for sharing your knowledge for all of us to improve and learn. <*)))))>< for knowledge.

Was going to order a copy, but the price of postage to Australia I am being quoted is more than the price of the book.

Most pre-orders for "Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting" shipped yesterday, and the rest will go out today.

Here's a 'hero pic' of the latest instructional material from Applied Ballistics

Books are now in stock and will ship directly.

The most common question we got about the new book is: "How is it different from the first book?"

The first book: "Applied Ballistics for LR Shooting" covers the elements of long range shooting and explains how all the various mechanisms of external ballistics affect trajectories. It's also the book that contains detailed drawings, BC and stability data for hundreds of bullets.

The new book: "Accuracy and Precision for LR Shooting" explains the impact of external ballistic effects in terms of hit percentage. For example, if you choose to ignore Coriolis Effect in your ballistic solution, how much will your hit percentage be reduced on a 10" target at 1000 yards? How about a 5" target at 500 yards? How much would your hit percentage be improved on a 15" target at 1200 yards if you reduce wind uncertainty from +/-3 mph to +/-2 mph?
There are also numerous performance comparisons between different classes of cartridges. For example: how much higher is hit percentage for a .338 Lapua Magnum than a .308 Winchester for common environments and targets?

The new book identifies accuracy and precision effects and defines their effects separately.
Did you ever wonder why it's so easy to shoot a 10 inch group at 1000 yards, but how difficult it is to hit a 10 inch target at 1000 yards on the first shot? Shooting a 10 inch group is precision, but centering the group is a challenge of accuracy.
It's quite common for long range shooters to focus 90% of their effort on the precision aspect, and only 10% on accuracy. To actually hit targets, you need a balance of accuracy and precision, with accuracy becoming increasingly more important as range is extended.

As with all Applied Ballistics materials, the goal of this book is to improve your success and enjoyment of long range shooting thru better understanding of the underlying science.

Enjoy!
