Thread: Tell me about sniper training

For practice, I recomend buying a air-rifle, the kind that shoot metal pelets. While i was in cadets we had target shooting and that shit with those kinds of air rifles, they work pretty well but they are only accurate within a certain distance.

After you get pretty good at that, you can try shooting moving targets like small animals and birds. Make sure you clean up the bodies and feed them to your dog or something. You don't want dead animals with bullet wounds lying around lol. Don't shoot domestic animals like cats and small dogs no matter what though. People will notice them missing and people give a shit about these animals even if they are strays so best not to mess with them. Personally thats not for me, but if you want to you could do that.

You can get a manual on sniper training here: http://www.stevespages.com/page7c.htm

There's a fair bit of scrolling to be done, but the manuals are characterizez by a numbering system due to the sheer. The Sniper Training manual is listed as FM-23-10

That should give you the basics.


Good luck with joining the military if that's the route you wanna go, and remember to get in shape for basic. You will need to start training before you get in to make sure you are in the right shape for the military.

Thre is also a great fitness manuals on there that i downloaded for myself since it offers some great info on conditioning and just basic fitness stuff that you may not be sure of.
