How Special Forces Snipers Communicate | Sniper Spotter Dialogue | Tactical Rifleman

Proper Shooter/Spotter Dialogue equate to time saved in competition and in combat. You and your buddy can be the two best shots on the range; however, if you can’t work together as a team, you’re going to get beat every time. Tactical Rifleman got two SOF Sniper instructors to demonstrate the current technique being taught in the school house. Learn from the pros, adjust it to meet your team’s requirement, practice till it’s second nature, and you’ll be a better shooting team.

Realistically, the dialogue between sniper teams is as varied as hand signals. While there is a general consensus on what needs to be done, generally the procedures are formalized between teams, not on a universal basis. Bring two random shooters from two different battlefields and they may not work totally in sync until they talk with each other before hand.

I just got back from a daylong training with sniper instructors from Quantico.

This is the exact dialogue put in the sniper school and it goes much faster with practice. The guys giving this instruction are obviously still active duty and Department of Defense would not allow this type of video to be released that could potentially put some of their assets in jeopardy.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Thanks for the comments. The shooter is canting the rifle to “Mil” the target, because the steel target was actually leaning to one side. You want to align your Mil Scale as close as parallel as possible, to ensure you get a more accurate measurement. Just remember to re-level the gun prior to actually shooting.

I remember in November 2009, the Accuracy International L115A3 sniper rifle was the weapon used in the most prodigious feat of marksmanship in military history - two consecutive confirmed kills at 2.47 kilometers were followed by a third shot which disabled the (much smaller)machine gun the two combatants had been carrying.Apr 1, 2014.

How are they milling to the hundredths of a mil? 1.41mils etc. I can see the tenths of a mill like 1.4-1.5 mill but then breaking that into tenths. Holy crap.... 1mil = 3.6 in at 100 yards tenth of that .36in at 100 yards. Tenth of that .036in at 100 yards. Can you distinguish 36/1000th of an inch through your scope at 100 yards? wow

[@TacticalRifleman]

they aren't milling in hundredths of mils. The ballistic computer (they are running Applied Ballistics in his Kestrel wind meter) gives computer generated solutions based on the algorithm. It does not round off the answers. So, sometimes the correction is given in extreme detail.

[@WHughes5]

I don't know about that.. Yes I agree with you kestrel and all that doesn't round the solution. But the shooter is telling the spotter the mil read through his scope not the spotter telling the shooter the mil solution. Watching the vid the spotter asked the shooter to check parallax and mil the target.

[@PoopShitz]

Wade Hughes they must have miled every target they had planned out for the video beforehand. We know what you mean

[@23feeling50]

Most military shooters use metric which is based on tens and thats a lot easier to mentally calculate. There are certain formulas that involve dividing the distance by a constant (usually 39.4) and then multiplying by 1000 and that gives you the holdover in mils. Its pretty easy to do in your head if you're working with metric

[@ExacoMvm]

Is he saying "go to glass" and whatever he says there what does that mean for the shooter to move like he does

[@itsjustxuan]

Most probably means to look through the scope, cause before he says "go to glass" he's always giving directions "by eye"

[@DrGaetanoIaquinto]

Yeah, because before he says “by eye go to sector...” and after that he tells “go to glass” to mean use the scope and find the target.
