Book Description
Excerpt from Sharpshooting for Sport and War To a small elementary work on the acquisition of the art of 'sharpshooting' with the rifle I have been asked to point out, in an introductory preface, the part the armed civilian has played in the past history, and indicate his worth to the community today. Many volumes have been compiled on the subject, but have not exhausted its interest. The space at my disposal being inadequate, I am necessarily brief.

Book Description
Following the success of Out of Nowhere: A History of the Military Sniper, sniper expert Martin Pegler gives us an in-depth study of the emergence of American rifleman, sharpshooter and sniper. Pegler examines the evolution of the rifle in America from the earliest firearms of the 15th century to the highly accurate sniping rifles of the 21st century. He also analyses the technological development of the rifle, sighting systems and ammunition and uses contemporary accounts to describe how the use of the rifle during the Revolutionary War, Civil War and the conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries have impacted on US military history. This detailed account concludes with a study of the American sniper in modern warfare, including Afghanistan and the ongoing conflict in Iraq, providing an overview of the march of weapons technology, as well as an unusual insight into the lives and the motives of the men who used them.
