I've seen both 'Top Sniper I' and 'Top Sniper II' (as aired on the Military Channel) and they are first-class! When I first came across this DVD, I was surprised that Amazon hadn't put in any information about it (!). So... I went searching and came up with the following:

This 2-DVD set includes 7 episodes including Top Sniper I: Teams from all over the world come to compete in a real life war zone environment at Ft. Benning, GA; Top Sniper II: The best snipers compete at the International Sniper Competition in Ft. Benning, GA; Sniper Rifles: Maximum reach makes the Sniper Rifle an ultimate weapon; and bonus Future Warriors: An ex-Navy SEAL takes viewers into the macabre and secret world of weapons development.

Running Time: 301 minutes on 2 x DVD's (NTSC Format).
Release Date: Oct 13, 2009.

Hope this helps any prospective buyers out there.
Good Hunting!

if you are interested in seeing the very best snipers in the world and the very best sniper weapons in the world, this dvd is handsdown, the best on the market. it has the top sniper competition for the last two years. you will get to see robbie johnson make a 780 yard shot, in a significiant wind, hitting a dinner plate size target while kneeling with his sako trg-42 .338 lapua, resting on a simple tripod. it made me proud to be an american. plus see the top ten sniper weapons, of today, in detail and in action. I would like to buy a case a beer for robbie johnson/jason st. john (his spotter) and the one who put this dvd together.

This is a no-nonsense pair of DVD's on snipers, with an honest look at what they do, how they do it, and why. The special features are cool too, though as usual, (And I hate to say it, but he is paid for it) Mack raves a bit too much over some of the tech. Some of it's worth raving about, some, not really. However the main stars of the DVD are the sniper competition stuff, and the weapon profiles. The Sniper competition stuff is great, with clear images, good sound, and good angles so you can actually see what's going on. The voiceover explains anything the people being interviewed doesn't, and you get to see some really good shooting, as well as some really spectacular training, including shooting from helicopters. It's also multi-national, so you get to see people from other countries competing against US Military branches. The weapons proifiles are nice stuff too. Each weapon profile is basically an advertisement for the gun, but you learn a lot about each gun and yoou get to see the guns in action.

Overall, I was happy with the DVD's, and reccomend them to anyone interested in snipers, sniper weapons, or how snipers train.

a 'reality tv' episode of a real snipers contest held by the army. this is a film of the contest, not of snipers in action. still interesting, and worth watching

Everything us military junkies could ask for in 1 DVD set!! History of, modern weapons, tactics. ect. Hours of information!!

I have a passion is snipping and this dvd gives you a good idea on training, competition, and the latest technology. i very much enjoyed especially the second dvd.

This was really just a series of clips from the Military Channel. If you watch that channel, there was really nothing new here. If you don't get that channel, it was TV with no commercials, which is a good thing?

this dvd is great, the military channel doesn't mess around, this gives a lot of intel on weapons and tactics snipers use. I've watched it about a hundred times and I learn something new and cool every time.

I enjoyed this video and so did my son. I would recommend this video to any interested in this subject. Thanks.

-THIS IS THE 4 PART PROGRAM AS AIRED ON THE MILITARY CHANNEL.FANTASTIC DVD ON THE ART OF SNIPING,AND LATEST EQUIPMENT USED BY OUR MILITARY PEOPLE.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD !!!THIS IS FOR SURE A *****DVD.
