Summary

Just when you thought we’d gone as far as we could go with the “Long Range 100_” series, Chris Wienche and Mitchell Fitzpatrick from Applied Ballistics showed up and opened our eyes to a whole new layer of long range shooting and understanding of ballistics. Chances are, if you shoot any sort of long range, you use a ballistics calculator. The beauty in using one of these calculators is all the work has already been done for you and you don’t need to be a ballistician to hit the target. Long before you even hit the range, though, someone does have to crunch all those numbers and take every ballistic variable into account – bullet shape, weight, drag, air density, temperature, ballistic jump, spin drift, when a projectile goes transonic, and so much more it would make your head spin! Speaking of heads spinning, that just might be what happens when you tune in to this one. You’ve been warned! Put your nerd cap on and enjoy some pure science flowing right into your ear holes. Don’t forget, too, it’s the great minds behind the scenes like these guys that did the development of the ballistics solutions inside the Fury HD 5000 AB ballistic rangefinding binocular! As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast

hundred episodes, Mark, and I have never felt nervous before a podcast until right now.

Okay, because the brains across the table are, the people across the table are gonna talk

0:40.9

about some stuff that I wish I even knew how to like scratch the surface of, but you guys

0:46.0

have really dug deep into these topics.

0:48.4

You guys are from AB and we have Chris Winky, Cross Table, and Mitch Fitzpatrick.

0:54.1

I got it out.

0:55.1

Okay.

0:56.1

A bit of a tongue twister name, but yeah, applied ballistics crew here as part of helping

1:01.1

us out with some of the initial training and run-throughs.

1:04.7

By the time you're listening to this podcast, the Fury AB 5,000, oh wait, hold on a minute,

1:11.6

Fury HD 5,000 AB, I think that's actually the proper nomenclature.

1:15.8

We'll have come out.

1:16.8

There it is.

1:17.8

Talk about tongue twisters.

1:18.8

Yeah, a little bit.

1:19.8

So it has AB on board, which is a kind of a ballistics solution and it's more than just

1:26.0

maybe your average ballistics calculator you might download or get on the internet or whatever.
