Great overall view

I myself have just got into precision shooting and was interested for many years on the "mystic" topic of the Sniper. So for someone that did not have experience as a Sniper, I found this book a great educational tool. It gave me a real feel for what it would be like and what it would take. Now maybe for someone with years of experience, this book would seem basic and trivial. But for most reader's that have not been in the Military or Law Enforcement, this book gives a well rounded view and description on what it IS to be a Sniper. So if you are a novice like me and want to learn or are just curious on what it takes to be a Sniper then this book is for you. Because when you are finished the book you will find yourself wanting to read it again...and to me that what it takes to be a good book.

Good Book

This book is one of the best sniper books ever written. Me being a former sniper has found this book to be extremely accurate. This book flows very well also. I would highly recommend buying this book.
