Synopses & Reviews
This may be the only military/police sniping and long-distance shooting guide you will ever need. It is not a dry, technical military manual but rather a highly readable and extremely valuable training book written by a U.S. Army Special Forces/MACV-SOG veteran with a decade's experience training military and police snipers. Hundreds of photos, special illustrations, charts and sidebars explain the practical, field-tested details of the three great skill areas of sniping -- marksmanship, fieldcraft and tactics. Twenty-two instructive chapters cover modern sniper rifles, scopes, bullets and ballistics, basic and advanced marksmanship, range and wind estimation, temporary and permanent hides, spotting and target detection, camouflage, stalking and mantracking, countersniping, special sniping operations and environments, the all-important differences between military and police sniping and much, much more. Also included are a complete glossary of sniping and marks-manship terms and an invaluable listing of current sniper training programs.
