“UNDERSTANDING BALLISTICS by Robert A. Rinker will prove to be an extremely useful tool. Overall, this is a book that will serve as a technical reference work, yet find much practical application in hunting fields and target ranges.´ Phil Spangenberger, Feature Editor, in GUNS & AMMO. “This is a book of science. A book of facts. A deeply informative and enlightening experience for the reader. It is well written, well ordered and extremely well presented in a very logical order. This is an important book. A book that responds to a very definite need in the shooting community.” Ned Kalbfleish, Executive Editor, in THE VARMINT HUNTER Magazine. UNDERSTANDING BALLISTICS is an important reference book that should be owned by every police officer, hunter, handloader and target shooter; whether beginner or expert. Robert A. Rinker has a unique and diversified background that is perfectly suited to author a book on firearm ballistics. His love affair with firearms started at the age of six when his father, a military officer and newspaper man, taught him the manual of arms and gun safety. He started reading and studying about firearms and ballistics while still a youth. He has owned and fired most types of firearms, both antique and modern. He has degrees in both Industrial Engineering and Aviation Science.
