Whatever the hight in inches is... Say the target is 68in tall (5ft 10") multiply 68 x 27.8 and how ever many mills... Say the target is only 3 mills high, multiply 68x27.8 then divide that by 3 mills and that's how far away the target is.
i have huge respect for snipers. my friend came back from somewhere over in mid. east, but he waited for 39 hours to get a shot, no food, no any thing. you guys are truely amazing
hey i was wondering what i can do to prepare to try to become a sniper like what makes you stand out in boot. like i love the marine corps but i like the snipers role in the army much more i was thanks for your time.
shoot any gun that you can find. Shoot until the gun falls apart, then ducktape it up and shoot some more. Learn to estimate range. Practise camouflaging and test it by going hunting.
well at night is when spotting is a problem. usually the spotter just pulls extra security or if the target has some light around it the spotter can look for the splash of the round. We dont have a night vision spotting scope though we are just regular army and im sure that SPECIAL FORCES has stuff that is way better than our crap.
yeah... i grew up on a ranch and have been shooting the same rifle since i was like 7. when i was little my dad would take me to mcdonalds and instead of the hot wheels car we would get the barbie doll and shoot her head off. LOL.
@xXbigballs36Xx How about radioing up your Battalion Mortar, and have them put up an Illumination Round over your target for you? A magnesium parachute illumination round does not require batteries, and once your area is lit up like that your muzzle flash will be much harder for an enemy to spot.
@xXbigballs36Xx Oops, I typed in my comment too fast and I wasn't quite in my proper World War Two frame of mind. Don't radio up anyone if you are able to avoid it! Crank up on your Field Phone, to contact your Battalion Mortar. Failing that if you have time presuming you are a properly qualifed NCO, send your lead scout as a runner to the rear to request an illumination round.
Wait for an illumination round to arrive, then hoze your enemy!

Those litte pips on the spotter scope are for a neigh exact range estimation, solving a TrigonometrIc function.

@MrPatrickp0078 1st one was "dead center".. I'm sure you only saw the bullet trail before the bullet impacted.
