This course will cover some of the basics of Interior, Transitional, Exterior 
and Terminal Ballistics, as well as some aspects of Ballistics Testing.  this 
course, like all courses, will be for the Technician and the Engineer working in 
areas of Ballistics.  Instructors are mostly those people who have done their own 
work, some in a unique style.  Safety in all aspects will be emphasized.  That 
many instructors are retiring and still alive and with all their limbs shows that 
they have done some things right.
