Summary: The ESSENTIAL Sniping Manual
Review: Major Plaster has put together the best, most comprehensive sniping manual. From marksmenship to tracking to counter-sniping, he manages to cover just about everything and put each idea into terms the average Joe can understand. This book should be required reading for every military sniper, and probably every civilian sniper as well. Even a person who has never picked up a rifle would be able to understand the concepts discussed here (although it is strongly reccomended that such a person not attempt to put these concepts into practice.)

Summary: Grain of salt
Review: Our team was asked for assistance on the writing of this book we declined due to confidentiality issues and the authors attitude. Some information contained in the book is helpful and some is laughable (see what happens if you put a brass jag in sweets 7.62). Use caution if this book is your sole means of training. Take it all with a grain of salt...A big grain. S.O.T.I.C. 10th Special Forces Grp

Summary: Don't Judge A Book By It's Title
Review: The problem with this book is that it contains a significant amount of wrong information. Space doesn't allow me to list them all here. By the time you are in a position to pick through it and identify the bad from the useful you don't need it at all! If you want to learn about sniping purchase a book like C.F. Shore's "With British Snipers to the Reich" or either of Derrick Bartlett's books on police sniping.

Summary: The second basic book every shooter must read and have!
Review: This book gives you with unvaluable information, the expertise and common sense (not so "common" nowadays) in the riflecraft learned in the hard way by the author. This books concerns not only to snipers, but every field shooter.Also recommend Jeff Cooper's "The Art of The Rifle" as the first book. Good shooting!

Summary: Very well planned out
Review: This book had more than enough info for even the most trained individual. If my mentor had known about this book then he would have definately used it as a reference guide to all that he teaches. I truly benefited from this title and recommend it to anyone who is interested in the field of sniping and even the most experienced sniper or spotter, because you can always learn more.

Summary: A very good novice/intermediate level training manual
Review: This book is a valuable resource for the novice to intermediate level rifleman or sniper. I found a credible amount of useful information within it. The ballistics tables are real-world--unlike the dry, theoretical tables found in reloading manuals. Major Plaster sticks to the heart of the subject matter; he doesn't go off on those lame, sorry "soldier of 'fiction'" tangents that many authors do. He even authorizes the reader to photocopy range cards, practice targets, etc..., as long as the credit line is not removed. You can't get much fairer than that. If I mentioned every good thing about this book, I would exceed the 1,000 word maximum that Amazon has limited me to. Robert, 11B/EIB, U.S. Army, 1981-1984

Summary: THE VERY BEST INTRODUCTORY BOOK ON SNIPING AND SHARPSHOOTING
Review: This book is really a mine of extremely interesting information about modern sniping both for the professional and for the enthusiast of the matter. It takes you step by step inside this fascinating field of activity always from a preactical standpoint. Really exclusive and extremely interesting the chapter about the Russian DRAGUNOV which is nearly unknown in the western world. A real must for anyone interested in the matter.

Summary: Outstanding Manual for the Serious Shooter
Review: This book is the most comprehensive collection of data that pertains to the Military/Police Sniper. As a military Sniper I found details about rifle usage and even cleaning that just aren't taught to you in the US Army Sniper school. This book has definately tightened my groups. Thank you John Plaster!
