Snipers take flight: Snipers train to provide precise support from above

Marines sight in on their target during aerial sniper training at Camp Hansen Oct. 15. “The hardest part of shooting today were the different variables we had to consider when shooting from a helicopter,” said Cpl. Nevin G. Fowler, a reconnaissance man with 3rd Reconnaissance Bn. “There is the downdraft and vibrations from the helicopter and also natural environmental factors, such as wind or rain, that will ultimately affect the shot we take.”
