On today’s episode, Ruth speaks with Francis Colon, both a competitor and scientist who works for Applied Ballistics.
Francis Colon works with Applied Ballistics, including conducting lab-based experiments, field events and special projects. He shoots competitively in the PRS series, with multiple wins at both National and Regional level events. He has a passion for merging the art of precision rifle with the science of accuracy and is a wealth of knowledge from both the competitor and scientist perspectives of ballistics.
The NRL22 Presented by Bushnell is a division of the National Rifle League which is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the growth and education of precision rifle shooting. The NRL22 was created to provide a way for competitors who are looking to get into the sport of precision rifle the opportunity to do so with 22lr or air rifles without having to invest a lot of money in gear or travel. The NRL22 program is designed so that any facility with a 100 yard range can participate in local competitions to qualify for a National Championship.
Hear from Francis how he gets into the competition mindset, what Applied Ballistics has learned about rimfire, and more, on the NRL22 Podcast!
