    mat archer In the Illustrated Manual of Sniper Skills, Mark Spicer draws on his extensive experience to reveal the secrets of his craft. Spicer s credentials are too vast to list here in their entirety, but suffice it to say that when it comes to combat, he s seen it all, and when it comes to snipers operating today, he likely had a hand in training them all --Military Book club

    Written by former British Army officer and sniper expert Mark Spicer, this is a masterclass in the deadly art of sniping, and encompasses technique, evaluation, screening processes, survival skills, teamwork, spotting, ballistics, and logistical marksmanship and camouflage, plus of course weapons. Highly recommended. --Soldier Magazine

    Few Sporting Shooter readers have any connection with military sniping - but many of the skills in this excellent manual by sniper instructor Mark Spicer are useful for deer and pest control too --Sporting Shooter

    The illustrated manual of sniper skills I believe is an excellent book, one of my top printed resources on the subject. Although it is alittle holistic and lacks specific direction, it does this for good reason, as Mr Spicer states he does not wish to add to the education of a passing reader who has more sinister applications of this knowledge, therefore some of the more sniper specific expertise appears to be omitted. This book is highly reliable and from a very credible source, and covers many broad areas without confusing the reader and offers some good illustrations and photographs to educate and inspire. I am very pleased with this book, whilst I wouldn't call it a 'manual' by any means and this could mislead some, it is not a field manual, but it is very informative on the topic of sniping and to anyone interested in the subject, this is a very robust read and not compiled of hear-say war tales retold for hollywood drama which fill the shelves. Mark Spicer breaks down sniper training and employment in a realistic and satisfying read.

    Once again, Mr Spicer has managed to write an understandable and well illustrated book. I have been fortunate to receive a 'pre-released' book and am very happy with what I have seen. It is understandable and he has the gift to write as though he is talking to the reader. The subjects covered are illustrated and explained well and gives the reader an understanding of what is being spoken about. I would definately recommend both of Mr. Spicers books.
