From the Publisher
Understanding Firearm Ballistics, by Robert A. Rinker, just received a new review that is very prestigious. The American Rifleman, the main publication of the National Rifle Association, printed a review that said a lot of nice things about the book on page 33 of the October 2000 issue. We already had a lot of great reviews by some of the best magazines that cover firearms, but this is great. The review was short but had nothing but nice things to say about our book. The American Rifleman only prints one or two reviews a month out of the thousands of books that are available, and we are proud to be mentioned in such a fine magazine. Buy a copy of the book and see why they like it so much.
About the Author
Robert Rinker is perfectly suited to author books on the technical details of firearms. His love affair with firearms began at the age of six when his father, a military officer and newspaper man, taught him the manual of arms and gun safety. While attending school, Mr. Rinker was employed as an armed police officer at a major airport. He also worked as a tool and die apprentice during the day while attending college at night. Educated as an industrial engineer, he owned and operated his own tool-die and machine shop where some of the work was on firearms, including guns for the U.S. Navy. He also has been trained and employed as a commercial-instrument-multi-engine aircraft pilot and flight instructor. He taught aeronautics to Naval Aviators during the Vietnam War. He has degrees in both Industrial Engineering and Aviation science.
