FSI Airgun Ballistic Tables
by Frank S. Brychta
From the author:
  • "Airgun ballistics provide a unique challenge. They don't fall into the normal range of data published by the manufacturers of conventional ammunition or bullets."

  • "Have you ever been shooting and changed distances or pellets and not known if that change will cause the next shot to be high or low? I have ... all too often."
FSI Airgun Ballistic Tables Book
  • Created specially for airgunners. Over 410 Tables, Charts, Examples & Graphs. 57,000+ data points
  • Pellet Path (trajectory) data from 5 yards to 75 yards for sight-in Zero at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards.
  • Tables also include Wind Drift, Time of Flight, and Remaining Velocity
  • Ballistics Tables for Muzzle Velocities from 350 to 1200 fps with additional tables for specific pellets.
  • Special tables: Kinetic Energy, Sight Adjustment, Shooting Uphill or Downhill.
  • Ballistic Coefficients and Weights for many .177, .20 (5mm), .22, and .25 caliber pellets.
  • Custom Printed on heavy 24lb bond 8.5" x 11" tinted stock. Deluxe updatable binder format, 88 pages.
Below is just 1 of over 400 charts included in the FSI Airgun Ballistic Tables:

Peter Reiff writing in the American Airgun Field Target Association, AAFTA News, vol. 5, no. 5, says:
  • "For those who have a serious interest in the study of Exterior Airgun Ballistics, two of the most significant works yet done on the subject are available from FSI,..."

  • "The FSI Airgun Ballistic Tables and FSI Advanced Airgun Ballistics allow the average airgunner to either look up or calculate all of the necessary data for trajectory paths, wind deflection/drift, and a host of the subtle little nuances of shootology ..."

  • "I personally think that they are the most significant texts to enter the airgunning world in quite a number of years and can reduce what used to take years of "hard times" work to a few weeks of casual study."

Peter Reiff has been a writer for numerous airgun magazines and is a former Asst. Technical Editor for The American Rifleman. A founding director of the American Airgun Field Target Association, he is currently the editor of the AAFTA News and a Special Assignments Editor for U.S. Airgun Magazine.


All FSI airgun books are Custom Laser Printed on heavy 24-lb bond tinted lithographic stock in a large 8-1/2" x 11" format.
