Sniper Training Book

[Aborigine]

Hey there !

I am looking for a comprehensive sniper training book. What do you recommend ? Up to now i have only hunting experience in shooting up to 300 yards maybe, and i would like to learn a bit more about exterior ballistics, wind doping and atmospherical influences on the bullet path.

Thank you for your help

Re: Sniper Training Book

Are you going to be a sniper? If not, you don't need a book. There is plenty of information readily available and all of that takes a back seat to just getting out and shooting.

Most of the books you find are either military manuals or civilian books and many of the civilian books are questionable as to their accuracy.

Well, no i aint gonna be a sniper, but i thought that probably i will find useful advice about longrange shooting in such a book.

Unfortunately, here in Germany you find very few seasoned longrange shooters. So it is quite difficult to gather some advice.

That was a pretty good book to get started but just going out and shooting is the best teacher.

For the actual marksmanship training, look at the US Military marksmanship manuals that are all available online.

Sounds like there was a bit of a language barrier working against you. Some folks get leery when someone uses the "sniper" word, but I see you're just looking for some shooting manuals and use "sniper" for someone who hits what they're aiming at, but not necessarily another person.

Mike Lau's <span style="text-decoration: underline">The Military and Police Sniper</span> is still an accurate reference source.
