From Trigger to Target

"From Trigger to Target" is an insightful technical guide that explores the intricate science of ballistics and the mechanics of shooting. Written with both the sportsman and the student of physics in mind, the work provides a detailed examination of what occurs when a firearm is discharged. It tracks the bullet's progress through several critical stages: internal ballistics within the barrel, external ballistics as the projectile travels through the air, and terminal ballistics upon impact.

The text demystifies complex concepts such as velocity, trajectory, windage, and the impact of rifling on accuracy. By analyzing the variables that influence a shot, the book offers practical knowledge aimed at improving marksmanship and understanding the limitations and capabilities of various types of ammunition. As a historical document from 1930, it represents a significant era in the development of precision shooting, offering a window into the educational efforts to professionalize and scientifically ground the shooting sports.

Whether for the collector of vintage sporting literature or the modern enthusiast seeking to understand the foundations of ballistic theory, "From Trigger to Target" remains a valuable resource. It emphasizes the precision, safety, and scientific rigor necessary to master the art of the rifle and handgun.
