Sniper Pocket Books : 3rd Edition (3 Enhanced edition)

3rd Edition of the Sniper Pocket Book, a handy, must have Military Pocket Books read.

Sniper Pocket Books has been authored and updated by Frank Fletcher (ex-Parachute Regt Sniper and Master Sniper Instructor) .

Illustrate by Ruper Godesen whom has been an accomplished military artist with supporting picture provide by some of Franks students. The aim of this book is to give the reader an insight into the world of the Military Sniper and as to provide are reference guide to both Snipers and Sharpshooters themselves. At times I have elaborated and tried to make clear some of the lesser understood points and to separate fact from fiction. I must also point out that although useful this book is only a guide and skill in these subjects must be learnt from practice and actual time spent shooting and in training. It is written for Snipers by Snipers. What is not mentioned is any thing deemed sensitive and operational directed.

For this the sniper must refer to his own unit SOPs and advice from his unit Master Sniper/Sniper Instructor, or indeed from the Sniper Division, School of Infantry. To this end some of the meat is purposely missing, but hopefully this book will provide the template for learning and the platform to build upon. To those non-snipers out there, I hope that you find this book both interesting and enlightening.

On today's battlefields the snipers are truly a breed apart.

Not only shaping the battlefield and destroying the enemy's command and controlability but by keeping his many of his comrades alive by providing the "Sniper Umbrella" thus neutralizing enemy snipers and threats at long range.

It is a fact that the Snipers enjoy the rewards of their prowess and all are dedicated professionals taking great satisfaction in a job well done. It is true of the old adage to their enemy of today,"Don't run you will only die tired!"
