[QUOTE=Mike Blue;809139]You need to find some place with some distance that's fit for men to shoot at. At 200 yards that ball hasn't even gone to sleep yet!
I spit further than that...If my target is 200 yards I would just throw a rock, and save the bullet...

What is the distance from which you actually need a spotter? Or do you always require a spotter no matter the distance? For example, a secret service sniper shooting from an elevated position, 200 yards or so. Does he need spotter?

Your spotter will usually have an M4/M16 style weapon for close in support. From what I understand SS works in larger teams and has constant radio communication like the police. Sniper teams are trained to work autonomously. Very different missions. Sniper teams are not always sent out to shoot. They fill many underestimated roles such as Intel gathering etc.
