That is the key right there, they have way more training and much more practice than the average shooter. Without that training and practice it is easier to shoot off from a bench then it is from the prone position. And they train that way because that is how they have to shoot. Using a bench for a sniper isn't really practical. Does not mean they couldn't shoot better from a bench though. And I'm not sure the army snipers are actually the best shots. They can make some incredible long range shots under stressful conditions, and they normally have a spotter as well. I would be willing to bet some benchrest shooters can turn out some better groups because that is all they worry about. And yes I know some Army snipers and benchrest shooters.

I didn't really think I hammered on the guy either, just said it was really basic info. There is better info on shooting form if you look for it.

I'll be honest though I thought this was his other post about basic shooting. Outshoot Anyone

Sorry about the confusion, I posted in the wrong thread. This info wasn't bad, but is still pretty basic. He has very few posts and most of them are linking to this site. Almost like spam to an extent just makes me a little weary is all.
