[Greg · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good book full of useful information about snipers and sniping. The book is just as good for the beginning sniper trying to learn the skill as it is a person who just want information about how snipers work.

The best aspect of the book is the incredible quality of the photos. The author exceeded all expectations with his photography choices. One can truly get an idea of proper camouflage and hide construction by looking at the photos in this book.
