Maj. John L. Plaster, USAR (Ret.) (464
pages) PP
Price
$54.95 SB
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/MACVSOG veteran with a decade's experience training military
and police snipers. Hundreds of photos, special illustrations, charts, and information
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, 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 marksmanship terms and an invaluable listing of current
sniper training programs.
