Snipers will stay in their hide for many hours, sometimes days yes. It's not just about shooting. Stalking and making a hide, their camoflauge etc. Plus they have to have excellent memories and power of recall. These days snipers are more about intelligence and information than shooting. It is often snipers who light up targets with laser for smart bombs and missiles too. Certainly SF operators anyway.
I don't do any of that though of course. For me it's the marksmanship, speed and problem-solving, at least as far as competitions go anyway. When I shoot to Kil it's about human dispatch if the target.
Having the skills I do, plus the survival skills etc. brings me a nice level of confidence. I like knowing I can take care of myself and those I care about.
Have you ever had to stalked/hunt something with your training before? Like in a simulated or real life situation
Yes, quite a lot actually. I'm pretty good at it. Better when I was a little younger, but I can still move quietly and know how to remain undetected.
