FM-23 Is like most FM or Field Manuals for those who have not had the pleasure to serve this fine Nation. FM-23 Sniper Training is a good source of knowledge for anyone interested in getting a general idea of what kind of training requirments are demand of the snipers generally in the USA. Having been an active duty Marine I found it an interesting contrast to the Program given by Mother Greens Killing Machine. I would recomend this book for acedemic purposes to individuals whishing to divine more into the world of the sniper but do not take it as gospel. Like they always say there's the write way and then the right way

This book is a good source of information about basic high-power rifle shooting, basic use of telescopic sights, basic marksmanship, basic field craft, that can be applied to hunting medium and big game animals. However the lesson-plan format which the information is presented is hard to follow. But the information is there and can be effectivly used if the reader has some patients.

If you are an avid hunter, precision long range or bench rest shooter then this book is for you. Full of information on terminal ballistics methods formulas and fieldcraft in one easy to read book. I'm usually not a fan of military field manuals
but this one is an enjoyable read. No matter what level shooter you are there is something here for you.

Well organized and to the point. Good for basic sniping info and alot of info regarding other sniper related skills such as building a radio antena and necessary checklists for the field. Not up to date. It is still a wealth of info and a great reference and a nice volume for the library.

Readable text with practical tips for marksmanship and field crafts. Get it.

Wish I'd had the chance to serve my country and learn these things first hand, but this guide did a tremendous job showing me the techniques in long-distance marksmanship as well as many outdoor survival skills. This book explains the field techniques - not the science - used to make for a better rifleman. Everything from proper bone support to estimating windage and distance are covered. Thanks to this book, I can shoot quarter-size groups @ 600y.

Having served in the Fourth Infantry Division in combat I feel that the Army started losing their rifleman skills a long time ago. Look to the Marine Corps if you want to learn to shoot. This has been true since Vietnam times.I qualified expert with the M14 yet I'm presently still learning from a Marine Corps Scout Sniper. You might try [...]

It is an exellant sorce for hunters, rifleman, and people who would like to become a hunter or sniper!

An ok reading. I would reccomend the Military and Police Sniper first
