Since 1987 the US Army Sniper School at Fort Benning, Georgia, has trained Active Duty, Reserves and National Guard soldiers to become long-range marksmen par excellence, capable of eliminating high-value targets, gathering intelligence, and protecting their comrades with a mixture of stealth, patience, situational awareness, cunning, and mastery of the long-range rifle.
This book contains the distilled wisdom of the Sniper School's instructors and expert marksmen, giving you over 450 pages of unique insight into the long range combat shooter's art.
This edition supersedes the old, obsolete FM 23-10
“Nothing chills the blood of a Soldier on the battlefield more than the crack of a rifle shot and the cry of “SNIPER!” A skilled sniper can stop even the largest units in their tracks with a few well-aimed shots that take out key personnel such as scouts or officers, seriously damaging the enemy’s morale.”
- Michael E. Haskew, The Sniper at War: From the American Revolutionary War to the Present Day
“Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of an armed man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it never care for anything else thereafter.”
- Ernest Hemingway, "On the Blue Water," Esquire, April 1936

Before You Buy
Q: Who is this book for?
A: This manual is an ideal choice for military and law-enforcement snipers, precision-rifle instructors, competition shooters, hunters, researchers, and serious long-range marksmen. It is particularly useful for readers who want a comprehensive treatment of sniper operations rather than a book focused only on shooting technique.
Q: What does the manual cover?
A: It covers sniper equipment, camouflage, movement, observation, target detection, range estimation, marksmanship, ballistics, weather effects, moving targets, tracking, countertracking, mission planning, sniper employment, urban operations, countersniper work, sustainment training, communications, survival, maintenance, and major sniper weapon systems.
Q: Is this mainly a long-range marksmanship book?
A: No. Marksmanship is an important part of the manual, but the book treats sniping as a much broader discipline. It also covers fieldcraft, observation, concealment, tracking, planning, communications, mission execution, survival, maintenance, and the tactical employment of sniper teams.
Q: Is this the old FM 23-10 sniper manual?
A: No. This edition contains the substantially expanded later Army material associated with FM 3-22.10 and TC 3-22.10 rather than simply reproducing the older FM 23-10. At more than 450 pages, it offers a much broader and more detailed treatment of modern Army sniper training and operations.
Q: Does the book cover specific sniper weapon systems?
A: Yes. It includes detailed material on the M24 Sniper Weapon System, the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System, and the M107 Long-Range Sniper Rifle, along with information on other sniper weapon systems used around the world.
Q: Is it useful for civilian precision shooters?
A: Yes. Although much of the operational material is military-specific, the sections on ballistics, environmental effects, range estimation, data books, observation, shooting positions, moving targets, optics, and weapon maintenance are directly relevant to serious civilian long-range shooting.
Q: How does this differ from the Special Forces Sniper Handbook?
A: This is the broader Army sniper training and operations manual, with extensive coverage of standard sniper employment, sustainment, range safety, maintenance, communications, and major Army sniper systems. The Special Forces manual places more emphasis on the specialized requirements of unconventional and independent Special Forces operations.
Q: Does the book include practical reference material?
A: Yes. In addition to the main instructional chapters, it includes mission packing lists, leader's checklists, communications formats, maintenance information, critical task lists, range-safety material, and other references intended for repeated use rather than one-time reading.
Q: Why choose the full-size edition?
A: This is a substantial manual of more than 450 pages containing dense text, tables, illustrations, and technical reference material. The full 8.5 × 11-inch format gives that content much more room than a compact reproduction, making it easier to study, annotate, and use as a serious range or desk reference.
