Photo Of The Day: Today we have some really cool sniper rifles and gear operated by some of the World’s best sniper teams. Well, at least one of the teams was able to present themselves as the best in the United States. Did you ever shoot from a tilted and moving platform like the sniper above and below? Did you ever shoot with another person on the same platform?

Being able to work in pair is essential for a successful sniper team. Read the wind, do the ballistics, send it, spot the trace and give corrections, send it again and hit the target.
