Product Description
When John Plaster's The Ultimate Sniper was released in 1993, it was hailed as an instant classic in the sniping community, influencing an entire generation of military and police marksmen around the world. Now this revolutionary book has been completely updated and expanded for the 21st century!Through revised text, new photos, specialized illustrations, updated charts and additional information sidebars, The Ultimate Sniper once again thoroughly details the three great skill areas of sniping: marksmanship, fieldcraft and tactics. Just some of the material in this new edition includes:* Cutting-edge sniper rifles, scopes, ammunition and equipment, everything purpose-designed or adapted specifically for military and police sniping.* The latest tactics and techniques from the frontlines of the War on Terror, including the mountains, deserts and urban areas of the Middle East and Central Asia.* Analysis of evolving technologies, including lasers, night vision, FLIR and ballistics programs.* Detailed ballistics and trajectory data for sniper ammunition.* An all-new chapter on countersniping lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan* An up-to-date listing of U.S.-based sniper training programs.Find out why professional snipers, sharpshooters and long-range riflemen consider The Ultimate Sniper to be the bible of their craft.A veteran of the top-secret Special Forces covert operations unit MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War, Maj. John L. Plaster combined what he learned of stealth, stalking and camouflage with his postwar experiences as a competitive shooter and firearms instructor to write The Ultimate Sniper.Over 60 pages of the original manual have been replaced with updated, modern information. An additional 120 NEW PAGES have been added with the above information!

 Awesome book April 12, 2008
Very informative book. Great to touch up on knowledge and skills for yourself. Also taught some of the techniques to the rifle team I was on.
 shooting skill sets February 26, 2008
This is the updated version of the Ultimate sniper ! Great reading and lots of good tips on the art of sniper craft. A lot of ammo and scope calibration data that is valuable.
interestting reading however felt the comments on the Eastern bloc weapon to be a bit bias!

Great book for snipers or marksmen. February 22, 2008
I bought the original version of this book at an Army PX in 1995. It was great then, the updated version is even better. When my original became so worn from use it was falling apart I ordered the new version from Maj. Plater's website. He even made it out to me and signed the front and back covers. Whether you are a police of military sniper or you just want to learn some techniques (or find out what gear you need) to improve your rifle shooting this is THE book. Unlike a lot of books written by guys who have been there and done that (Maj Plaster was a US Army Special Forces SOG recon Sgt for 3 yrs in Vietnam) there is no hint of arrogance or showmanship in this book.

This book is phenomenal in its scope and detail, and the author has the vast amount of experience in both years and combat to back it up in gold. I was truly pleased that this book was everything I had hoped and heard it to be when I bought it. The author writes as though he is speaking to you both as an instructor and as a fellow shooter...because of this everything he discusses is very clear and also interesting. The topics are too many to list, with plentiful photos, drawings, and tables to help convey the information. This is a thick reference you will want to come back to again and again, and each time you do you will take more away from it.

Everything, and I mean every single aspect of snipers, markmanship, ballistics, weapons, tactics, military and civilian organization, is covered. Things you want to know, things you didn't know you wanted to know, everything is here.
This is the Sniper and Marksman Bible.
