Review
In the Illustrated Manual of Sniper Skills, Mark Spicer draws on his extensive experience to reveal the secrets of his craft. Spicer s credentials are too vast to list here in their entirety, but suffice it to say that when it comes to combat, he s seen it all, and when it comes to snipers operating today, he likely had a hand in training them all --Military Book club

Written by former British Army officer and sniper expert Mark Spicer, this is a masterclass in the deadly art of sniping, and encompasses technique, evaluation, screening processes, survival skills, teamwork, spotting, ballistics, and logistical marksmanship and camouflage, plus of course weapons. Highly recommended. --Soldier Magazine

Few Sporting Shooter readers have any connection with military sniping - but many of the skills in this excellent manual by sniper instructor Mark Spicer are useful for deer and pest control too --Sporting Shooter
