How Does a Bullet Fly? Bullet Trajectory Explained

thanks you🙏

Used your 2shot sight in method yesterday. And yes second shot was sub moa accurate

I recently purchased a .50 cal air rifle ....would be nice for you to do a video on same topic but for air gunners. THANKS KEITH for all your videos you have done for so many years.

Excellent

Thank you for this! :-)

Good video

Hey Keith really appreciate these videos you do for new and beginning hunters out there learning how to hit a target out further, think you could do a video of different caliber rifles and grain bullet and test there bullet drop and how much drop per 100yd or so

What do they get by killing defensive animals? These people are psycho.

Hey Keith, came back to visit after watching a video by you on how to butcher an animal in hunting class today. Love your vids and keep it up!

love the channel can you do one on up hill and down hill

I thought a bullet starts to drop when it leaves the barrell. I thought wrong i guess

You did an excellent job explaining. I had my eyes closed throughout your explanation and understood perfectly what you were saying. Thank you.

Good information for the beginners.

Lol those exploding golfers

First time viewer.
Loved the video and Subscribed !

Your video are very useful. Thank you.

I've always zeroed my firearms but never knew the actual science to it. thank you. subscribed!

This theory should be the same using bolts and crossbows correct ? I would think it's the same?

I found it useful VERY USEFUL thumbs up and will subscribe

Love your videos, I’m in England using a 11.5 Fp rifle 😆, damn I’d love to fire a real gun.

Great job sir. I'm teaching a young man to shoot and I'll have him watch this so he can understand sight adjustments and zeroing better. Thanks ;)

I have also been led to believe that along with the bullet drop, it will also have a tendency to want a corkscrew path as it gets further and the spinning looses its stabilising effect.

Good video! Question; Let's say I'm shooting my rifle very close range to my target. Will there be any distance between scope aiming bullseye and the bullet hole?

What's the fun in killing innocent animals?

Why does the bullet go up initially after leaving the barrel and not simply straight? Is it because of the curvature of the Earth?

So would a .223 or .22-250 have any substantial difference (more than two inches) in shot placement if sighted at 100 yards and you take a shot at 20 yards? Sighted at 100 I still hit center at 200, I just don’t know ab very close range

Well, I learned something important from this. I always understood the bullet flight path intersects your line of sight twice. I never knew until now, though, that the bullet (depending on speed, weight, etc.) was still on it's way UP at the 100 yd. mark. I always assumed it was on it's way back down at that point. What a huge difference this will make in the way I approach shooting. Thanks, Keith!

You stupid shooter kill8ng animals for fun.

Great video. I'd love to see a slow motion video of a bullet from beginning to end, as it falls to the ground.

After killing an animal with a bullet, how safe is it to cook that animal? Because bullets contain potassium nitrate, softwood charcoal and sulfur. And how efficient it would be to hunt an animal using bows?

Will the bullet ever go up . I have people telling me that the bullet goes up . But I have a hard time finding that to be true

Thanks for the information. Great video.

I’m wondering if up close when sighted in for 150 yards and I’m shouting at 50 yards if I need to aim up or down.

Fantastic Video! i've seen much longer video that dont explain this as easily and quick as this one. Thanks!!!

You shouldn’t show your kill shots it’s disrespectful and immature

Holy moly, this whole time I thought a bullet actually gained elevation after leaving the barrel 😂 Thank you for the excellent explanation.

What I'm not hearing is , why does the bullet go up as it leaves the barrel

Thank you for the info.

the line of sight of scope does not always intersect bullet trajectory twice, if scope is too high it may never intersect, then there will be a point where scope is just in line with top of trajectory or it could intersect twice all dependent on bullet speed, and gun angle

Super helpful and informative. Thanks for a great video 👍🏻

You've just explained the contrast between shooting at 100 yards and 200 yards, showing why the bullet hits distinct areas. Thanks

Armor piercing rounds typically have a steel core. Makes think. Titanium is 2x strength of steel and 1/2 the weight. Granted a titanium bullet would be stupid expensive but gas anyone ever tried this? I'm betting there will be at least a 30-40% increase in velocity as the round is approx 1/4 of the weight of traditional lead round. I'm proposing a expensive test but sure everyone is interested as to what kind of ballistics a titanium bullet will have. Might even tear up the barrel. Copper coat it?

Thank you for proving my point sir.

Got a buddy telling me that bullets curve up after leaving the gun. I tried explaining that the gun itself is angled up but no. Apparently I’m wrong and the bullet flies up by itself after leaving the gun

Gravity affects the ball from the moment of the shot , if you consider the speed of the ball from the moment of the shot, the ball moves at a crazy speed so that it can be said that the force of gravity affects it but in a negligible way until the ball starts to slow down due to the friction with the air. I wanted to ask from approximately what distance will the ball start to behave in a ballistic "shape", and from what distance will the wind slightly move the ball from its trajectory?

Always enjoy your videos. High end info. Ive beem through two wars, but as far as hunting, I am far less then authoroties in that department and your videos helping a lot. Thank you

Its amazing ❤

Bullets NEVER rise after a shot.
