In this episode, Samuel explains the basic factors that affect a bullet in flight, including gravity (or "drop"), velocity, aerodynamic drag, air density, and wind drift. He also covers BC (Ballistic Coefficient), sectional density, shooting up or down hill, true ballistic range, using ballistics calculators, and maximum point-blank range. If you want to become a better rifle shooter start getting familiar with ballistics and apply what you've learned at the range.
