100% of this book's proceeds will be donated to two military charities: the Special Operation Warrior Foundation and the Sua Sponte Foundation. The Special Forces Sniper Course (formerly the Special Operations Target Interdiction Course - SOTIC) is the premier sniper training course in the world. Top members of all branches of special operations are able to attend this prestigious course on a limited selection basis. This book is the official manual for the course. It is not the best resource for "how to be a sniper" or "how to shoot long range." Instead, it is a reference manual. If you're looking for long range shooting instruction, check out the Long Range Shooting Handbook. This is a large desk-top/bookshelf (8.5x11") sized copy. Unlike other versions of this book for sale (check their feedback), this book is properly formatted with text large enough to actually read!
