Comparing Military Snipers with Civilian Competitive Shooters

According to their tests, the standard deviation of aiming error for the best, formally-trained operational snipers was three times worse than tested High Power and Long Range competition shooters sufficiently skilled to compete successfully in national level match competition at Camp Perry and the like.

In fact, the worst competition shooters tested were as good or better than the best snipers in basic holding and shooting fundamentals.
That might have more to do with the fact that being a sniper is like 10% basic marksmanship and 90% other stuff like field craft.
