Quite so. There probably are "Different Rules" between Snipers and Sporting Shooters as to making a shot "offical". Just think, the Sniper is under direct thread of being shot and and must think of cover to protect himself and his spotter, if any,..the Sportsman doesn't have this.RoadKing wrote: Sporting rules are what they are. A sniper has rules. Hitting the target. I agree that these guys have to have great skills and understanding of the environment and their weapon and with the addition of tech they gain the advantage. My knowledge of snipers comes from reading and films, no first hand. But the more I learn the more I see these people as a type of super heros.
And as you say, the Shooters Skills and Understanding of the Environment and their Weapon have indeed a Great Deal to do with scoring a "Hit". This talk that merely having the electronics that as soon as he sets the trigger the scope adjusts for distance, does not make it so,...."he has little to nothing to compensate for".....as you point out.
