2024 - Swiss International Wound Ballistics Workshop

I am very happy to pass on the announcement for the twelfth annual Swiss Wound Ballistics Workshop. If this is an area of interest for you, I cannot recommend it enough.  This year's line up has some familiar and highly experienced faces, and the information conveyed is of the highest caliber.  These include Beat Kneubuehl, Fabiano Riva, Matt Glardon, and our very own Axel Manthei.  Docs attached. You should go, and don't forget to add on some extra time to enjoy Switzerland!
