I POSTED THIS RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ON THE 19TH.....

.....i would think the proper terminology would be "precision marksman" using a "precision rifle"

a sniper, which is traditionally a person professionally trained to observe, report findings, or to engage and eliminate specific targets of oppurtunity to gain a tactical advantage uses a sniper rifle.

snipe- –noun 1. any of several long-billed game birds of the genera Gallinago (Capella) and Limnocryptes, inhabiting marshy areas, as G. gallinago (common snipe), of Eurasia and North America, having barred and striped white, brown, and black plumage.
2. any of several other long-billed birds, as some sandpipers.

sniper -(originally) a person that hunts for and is successful in harvesting the elusive above game bird. usually had to be concealed (by the use of special areas - enter the "hide"- or special clothing - enter the "gillie"- during the shot as snipe have excellent eyesight.

common in scotland, a ghillie was a hired person ( a proffesional hunter / guide that used unconventional tactics for success) used to catch poacher's on the royal's land. they used special clothing to be concealed or hide themselves from view, as the poachers had to be weary of the royalty's normal gaurdsmen.

I used to hunt snipe by walking them up along drainage ditches on the farm. They eat worms.
They lift off at about 300mph, zig-zagging at a rate of about 20 times per second.
Darnedest thing I have ever encountered. I still have not killed one.
I guess that is the reason for hiding and "sniping" them.....

Try hunting them or grouse with a bow.
Plan on messing up some arrows, and stopping for a burger.

We hunted them in the Manchac back in highschool. Hardest to hit flying critter that I ever hunted. Tough hunting in the swamp for just a little meat.
