    a geek’s delight: reverse engineer a distance-velocity table to Cd/Mach curve

    To start with: for a regular shooter what follows is perfectly useless. You have been warned. Who may be interested then? – People who write their own ballistic calculators, or people who want to have an idea of how a particular bullet, according to manufacturer’s data, behaves in transonic...

    Subjective bad light test: 2xS&B vs. 1xKahlesK vs. Philippino Vortex vs. Chinese Vector

    In the recent years very decent optics got much more affordable. I have always been very conservative, as far as optics go -- bought expensive, proven models, and kept them for a long time.

    After the initial joy of owning a magnificent new Sako S20 rifle, comes the awkward "I should have taken a Tikka" moment – this is when the new owner inspects the optics mounting rails.

    Range Report shooting uphill or downhill -- comparison of empiric methods of slope dope estimation

    How to hit your target at significant (> 10 degrees) uphill or downhill inclination without an electronic ballistic solver? We have all heard of the Rifleman's Rule and "equivalent horizontal distance". I have heard of it too, and took it for granted, until faced with a situation where the...

    Greetings from Switzerland (again)

    And here we go again: Yours truly, a shooter from Switzertland, mostly 300m rifle, but also anything else that goes bang. Relatively inexperienced at the long range game, I am here to learn and to share what I have learned. In advance I apologise for spelling, grammar and style -- English is...
