Super Snipers

Book excerpt: In Super Snipers, the editors of Soldier of Fortune show readers the ways of the expert sniper in forty stories from those who have mastered the craft. Becoming an elite sniper involves more than learning how to shoot. Snipers need to know how to judge terrain, wind, and sometimes even the curve of the Earth. They train their eyes to spot enemy movement in the distance and to never hesitate. A sniper is more that a finger behind a trigger; he is a scout, a scientist, a strategist, and the support group for a platoon. Super Snipers brings you into the world of some of the most accomplished snipers. From Finland to Iraq, Korea to Somalia, Soldier of Fortune Magazine provides forty stories directly from the eyes and minds of the snipers who made the kills. These trained marksmen describe their method of calculating, aiming, and taking the perfect shot, all the way down to the type of chewing tobacco they prefer. Some of the super snipers in this collection include: Chris Kyle (American Sniper) Major Charles Greene Sergeant Dan Mills Gunnery Sergeant Jack Coughlin Robert K. Brown And many more! Every sniper—just like every situation that calls for a sniper—is unique, and Super Snipers will show you every step of the way, as you find the target, narrow the scope, and take the shot.
