Summary: Very accurate and informative
Review: As an Army vet I was amazed at how much information this book contained. It is very useful in any kind of hunting or camping activities as well as the art of sniping it self. A must read for any one who likes hunting big game out west or is interested in being able to track game in the east coast wooded areas

Summary: a must read for anyone interested in long range shooting
Review: I am a VietNam Army vet. I wish I had read this book before I went to Nam. It is very well written explaination of all aspects of long range rifle shooting. The only thing you need in addition to this book is an accurate rifle and some range time to practice the techniques. Thanks Major for writing something for us 'grunts'.

Summary: The Most Advanced Training Manual Currently on the Market
Review: I am an AGR/SSG, Organizer of the Headquarters Special Reaction Team, and RVN Vet: 11B/71L/92Y. I aquired this book in early 1997, read it from cover to cover twice and referred back to seperate chapters more often than I can calculate. Currently I can recommend no other manual with such a wide variety of accurate information on most aspects of precission shooting and tactics. I can make only a few minor criticisms. (1) I found only one error in the text- i.e.: "...do not..." vs "...do...". The error however should be obvious to even a neophite shooter so I have ignored it - but it does rattel me a bit every time I run across it. (2) Some of the Photos seem a bit pretentious - like they came out of an old issue of SOF. (3) Point of contention: MAJ Plaster opens the door to calibers such as 223, and 243, and provides fine tables for their accurate engagement. He may have been rushed to reach a publishing date, but I was hoping to find complete tables on all current match grade (high accuracy/long range)factory munitions. Especially windage tables. I hope the author will produce a supplement later. I reciently entered my first paper target state level competition which reinstilled my confidence in my abilities. With the help of his fine machinery, this manual provided my SRT team member and I valuable information leading to our ability to quickly and consistantly place comfortable hits in the x ring and engage moving targets at 600yds with a 5-7mph wind. I have given up my allegiance to "The Accurate Rifle" for "The Ultimate Sniper". Other than philosophical or theological treatises this is my favorite reading. I only need to convince my commanders of the importance of QRT and SRT programs.

Summary: Very enjoyable book, good deal of information as well.
Review: I found "The Ultimate Sniper" to be a very well thought out and very well written book. The ideas and tactics given to the reader are ones that you can easily apply. While he doesn't go into the tactics of SWAT (for obvious reasons), the information that he does give on tactics was very interesting and informative. The ballistics charts, windage charts and the plethora of other "take to the range with you" information has given me an avdantage at my local firing fange. His ideas and suggestions really do pay off in the "real world" of target shooting. I would recomend this book to anyone who shows the smallest interest in precision shooting, be it for fun or for "other reasons".
