The attendees will learn protocol and methods by using string, dowel rods, scientific calculators, and/or lasers to determine the flight path of the projectile from the moment it leaves a firearm muzzle to the moment it strikes the final target and is recovered. Also, students will examine the firearm residue for estimated distance determination from the position of the shooter to the victim and/or final target.
