Chooky88 Posted December 6, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I just started reading Seal Team Six. The author says US Navy Seals are trained NOT to look directly at their target until ready to shoot them. This is because unlike animals, humans have a sixth sense that means they may pick up the sniper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbi Laveau Posted December 6, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Interesting .Cats don't look you directly in the eye either,unless they are very tame,as direct eye contact means they are challenging to a fight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted December 6, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I imagine that it also keeps the shooter from considering for long on the humanity of a target. Even deadly enemies are apt to invoke pity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I set up a quarter mile from you with a sniper rifle, you'd never know what hit you whether I looked at you or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Crane Feather Posted December 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I just started reading Seal Team Six.

This is because unlike animals, humans have a sixth sense that means they may pick up the sniper! Animals have it to. I am a bow hunter and you must not look at the animal while stalking it. Rupart sheldrake has done impressive research on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxus Posted December 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2012 This is interesting - any more information on this 'don't look at your target' stuff? (human or animal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Crane Feather Posted December 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2012 This is interesting - any more information on this 'don't look at your target' stuff? (human or animal) Native Americans knew it aswell. I learned it studying native American bow hunting techniques even experimented with it in the field. Sheldrake has done research on this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwEuA4MRM1o&feature=youtube_gdata_player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfknight Posted December 11, 2012 #9 Share Posted December 11, 2012 You get you target. Line up your shot. A wait for the right moment to put the trigger. You don't look at your target as human. You think of it just being a target nothing more. That book doesn't tell you everything a SEAL Team 6. SEALTeam 6 is the beat of the best. You don't get assigned to SEAL Team 6. You have to try out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
