” I don’t see any sport in the latter. I’m impressed by a good hunter who knows how to track his quarry and has the patience to take it when the time is right.”

White Feather: Carlos Hathcock, USMC Scout Sniper
I’m not trying to say that sniping is “sport”; it is not. It is killing other men before they kill your men.
Read it and get back to us. If you are “impressed by a good hunter who knows how to track his quarry and has the patience to take it when the time is right”, then Carlos Hathcock will amaze you.

I didn’t think you meant to say it or imply it. I’m just sayin’ in my book one would be considered a sport, i.e. “hunting”. Others millage will vary on the long range v. tracking question, tho. Has nothing to do with military sniping.
