"Holding still" isn't the hard part - sniper rifles are big, heavy, stable and used with small tripods. The trick is hitting a target 1/4 mile away in the face of wind & elevation changes, and doing it on the first try.
I remember a tv show I watched and they discussed the how they even have to compensate for a cold shot when the barrel is cool from not having been shot compared to when the gun is warm from being triggered recently. Amazing stuff. If I had the stones to join the military it would be with the intentions of being a sniper.
I heard sniper training is the only Special Forces training harder than BUDS.
