History of Sniping "Sniping in France"

[RickR]

Hello,
I wanted to pass along a pointer to a book I found, "Sniping in France, with notes on the Scientific Training of Scouts, Observers, and Snipers". It is an account of how British Sniping evolved during World War I, free on-line version.

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Sniping_in_France

I really enjoyed it. One thing I found interesting how the author emphasizes observational skills as much or more than shooting. I have read several "been there, done that" members here on the 'Hide say the same thing.

Regards,
Rick

Hey, it's "sniping <span style="font-weight: bold">in</span> France" not "<span style="font-weight: bold">BY</span> the French"

and don't we all want to snipe the French?

First, let's learn to use UBB coding ...

... and then let's repeat that for the benefit of our somewhat Francophile mod.

No worries ... they couldn't adjust their trajectory accordingly.

As long as I get my shot off, it's a WIN.

Just like the French, never to fail to take a shot at a piece of tail.

I don't understand why French bother sending guys in Afghanistan for ten years for something that isn't their problem...
they're pussies, aren't they?

Re: History of Sniping "Sniping in France"

ya know what they say about french rifles? new condition, only dropped once.

<rim shot>

every french guillie suit comes with a white flag.

<rim shot>

difference between a french sniper and an american sniper? the american sniper can shoot you from a mile away, the french sniper you can smell a mile way.

<rim shot>

sorry 'bout that, to their credit the french armada did save American butts in the revolutionary war over the british.....thank god or we'd all be speaking english now.

in all seriousness, nice article, good find.

Even if it falls short or misses the target... you still win
