The 21st-Century Sniper

A Complete Practical Guide

By: Brandon Webb, Glen Doherty

Narrated by: Allen O'Reilly

The 21st century sniper is a mature, intelligent shooter who leverages technology to his deadly advantage. He has spent thousands of hours honing his skills. He is a master of concealment in all environments, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the crowded streets of Iraq. He is trained in science and left alone to create the unique art of the kill. To the sniper, the battlefield is like a painter’s blank canvas. It is his job to simultaneously utilize tools, training, and creativity to deliver devastating psychological impact upon the battlefield. And it is he alone who is left with the intimacy of the kill. A complete practical guide for any modern sniper, former Navy SEAL and military sniper Brandon Webb reveals the tips and basic training necessary to become an efficient marksman. Webb is an international authority on sniping, and after serving multiple missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, he ran the Navy SEAL sniper course, which is arguably the best sniper qualification course in the world. Including details on advanced sniper training for maritime, helicopter, and urban sniper operations, The 21st Century Sniper also touches on the latest research, development, testing, and evaluation of sniper weapons systems and optics. From trajectories and wind speed to camouflage and best vantage points and targets, Webb covers everything an expert sniper needs to know. This book is suitable for gun enthusiasts, outdoorsmen, the beginning sniper, and those with military backgrounds.

Great info, poor performance

I loved the stories and the info was great but the reader was sub par. His pronunciation of weapons and manufacturers as well as different Calibers and acronyms, you can tell that he knew nothing about the material and it really drew away from the information and the stories. He had decent tone and tempo but it just sounds like a guy that was handed a training manual for he first time and told to read aloud.

awesome listen, very informative

great listen, lots of historical facts and build up from its beginings. good voice keeps you listening.

One of my favorite technical books, Doherty & Webb did a great job.

13 hours and The Red Circle by Brandon Webb illustrate how their friendships were forged.

The reader sucks.

great story and some good info here. I almost couldn't listen to it because of the lack of gun knowledge, pronunciation and overall ignorance on the subject of the reader.

Review

Very interesting book well written and read. The only criticism is some of the info is either wring or slightly misleading
