Precision shooting explained by the man who designs the rifles, builds them and teaches people to use them. This is the promise of the two-volume handbook by Giuseppe Valtorta, founder and CEO of VICTRIX Armaments, available in print on Amazon in English and Italian.
VOLUME 1: PRECISION SHOOTING TECHNIQUE
Thirty-four chapters follow the shot from primer ignition to the moment the shooter sends it to the target. The cartridge, the barrel, the chamber, handloading for precision. Intermediate ballistics, the atmosphere, wind, light and mirage. Optics, with MOA, MIL and reticles. And finally the step from data to the shot: zeroing, ballistic software, field formulas, group statistics and the fundamentals of shooting.
A DECLARED METHOD, BUILT ON REAL MEASUREMENTS
The material comes from courses taught to institutional customers in Italy and abroad, and from measurements taken on the range and at the bench. Where a figure was not measured by the author, the book says so. Where there is a formula, its source is given. Where the subject admits no number, the book says that instead of inventing one.
WHO THE HANDBOOK IS FOR
For the professional, meaning the police and military sniper, the instructor and the armorer, and for the sport shooter who wants to understand what he is doing.
A HANDBOOK TO READ AND TO CONSULT
The chapters follow the order in which the subject is taught, while the subject index, the formula reference and the lists of tables, boxes and figures lead straight to the figure you need. In total, 148 tables, 246 boxes and 91 figures, with formula reference and conversion tables in the appendices, across 563 A4 pages. Metric units throughout, with calibers, barrel lengths and bullet weights in the units the trade uses.
VOLUME 2: OPERATIONAL EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINAL BALLISTICS
Volume 2 completes the work, covering operational employment and terminal ballistics.
The handbook is also the foundation of VICTRIX ACADEMY, Giuseppe Valtorta’s online precision shooting training.
