Book Reviews of Ultimate Sniper 2006 : An Advanced Training Manual for Military and Police Snipers (Ultimate Sniper, 2006 New and Updated!)
Book Review: Fascinating: Full of must know information
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book after being acquainted with a few friends who shoot long range and reading a book called, "One Shot One Kill". I myself have often thought of long range target shooting and finally purchased a target rifle. My thoughts were to read a book by an experienced military sniper, knowing that when they made the shot it had to count the first time. It was also an excuse to read more on the subject of Special Forces and snipers. This book has more information than I was looking for, but still a fascinating read. If you are a police or military sniper you MUST read this book. It has practical solutions to difficult situations that may help you.
It has estimating wind, range, stationary targets, moving targets, vehicle weaknesses, shot placement, bullet selection, camouflage techniques, uphill, downhill, and just about any shooting situation you may come across. It also has equipment selection, scope types & magnifications and why to use them in specific situations. It also has recommended training exercises and forms for cataloging rifle and ballistic performance. I can't say enough about this book and the knowledge it contains.
Another helpful book I purchased was; Precision Shooting Reloading Guide, if you are concerned about ultra accuracy this is a must have book. It is a little dated but still very useful on the required tools and techniques.
Good shooting to all.

Summary of Ultimate Sniper 2006 : An Advanced Training Manual for Military and Police Snipers (Ultimate Sniper, 2006 New and Updated!)
When John Plaster's The Ultimate Sniper was released in 1993, it was hailed as an instant classic in the sniping community, influencing an entire generation of military and police marksmen around the world. Now this revolutionary book has been completely updated and expanded for the 21st century! Through revised text, new photos, specialized illustrations, updated charts and additional information sidebars, The Ultimate Sniper once again thoroughly details the three great skill areas of sniping: marksmanship, fieldcraft and tactics. Just some of the material in this new edition includes: * Cutting-edge sniper rifles, scopes, ammunition and equipment, everything purpose-designed or adapted specifically for military and police sniping. * The latest tactics and techniques from the frontlines of the War on Terror, including the mountains, deserts and urban areas of the Middle East and Central Asia. * Analysis of evolving technologies, including lasers, night vision, FLIR and ballistics programs. * Detailed ballistics and trajectory data for sniper ammunition. * An all-new chapter on countersniping lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan * An up-to-date listing of U.S.-based sniper training programs. Find out why professional snipers, sharpshooters and long-range riflemen consider The Ultimate Sniper to be the bible of their craft. A veteran of the top-secret Special Forces covert operations unit MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War, Maj. John L. Plaster combined what he learned of stealth, stalking and camouflage with his postwar experiences as a competitive shooter and firearms instructor to write The Ultimate Sniper. Over 60 pages of the original manual have been replaced with updated, modern information. An additional 120 NEW PAGES have been added with the above information!Subjects Books
