sniper's

Long-range shooter's

Sniper's is the possessive form of sniper—a person who shoots from a concealed position, typically at long range with a high-powered rifle.

The term applies to military marksmen and assassins alike: from the sniper's vantage point, the sniper's bullet struck without warning.

A sniper's nest is a hidden shooting position.
