	Marksman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sharpshooters used by both sides in the Civil War were less used as snipers, and more as skirmishers and scouts.
		The most notable sharpshooter units of the Civil War were the 1st and 2nd United States Sharpshooters (USSS), who were formed from all states under the command of Hiram Berdan, who was the best amateur marksman in the nation at that time.
		Confederate sharpshooters were often less well equipped, using British Whitworth rifles, rather than breech loading Berdan Sharps rifles.

	UC IPM: UC Management Guidelines for Sharpshooters on Grape
		The glassy-winged sharpshooter is the primary vector in the Coachella Valley, Temecula, and Kern County.
		If sharpshooters have migrated into the vineyard and new shoot growth on grapevines is longer than a few inches, also treat the first 200 to 300 feet in from the edge of the vineyard.
		If sharpshooters have migrated into the vineyard and there is more than a couple inches of new shoot growth on the vines, treat the first 200–300 ft of vineyard in from the edge of the natural vegetation.

		The sharpshooter's nymphs, like the one to the left, are greenish grey in color and quite similar in shape to the adults.
		This video shows the 'Sharpshooter Rain' which is really just their excrement being propelled from the sharpshooter and out of the trees.

	Scientists Target Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		An example: the innovative investigations conducted by a sharpshooter squad of scientists with the ARS Exotic and Invasive Diseases and Pests Research Unit, Parlier, California.
		A thin gold wire attached to a sharpshooter's back may enable scientists to zero in on the minute-by-minute actions of the pest as it attacks plants.
		To fill this gap, entomologist Russell Groves is creating a detailed picture of what he describes as "seasonal dispersal of sharpshooters among various kinds of vegetation in the landscape." He has installed an extensive network of traps that he monitors once a week, year-round.

	glassy-winged sharpshooter - Homalodisca coagulata (Say)
		The sharpshooters ingest 100 to 300 times their dry body weight in xylem fluid per day, and in large populations, their high volume of excreta ("leafhopper rain") can become a problem, leaving white residue on leaves.
		The tiny wasp from Texas and Northern Mexico is an egg parasite of the sharpshooter, laying its eggs within the eggs of the sharpshooter (Triapitsyn and Phillips).

		CDFA Secretary Lyons approves pest rating change for glassy-winged sharpshooter from "C" to "B." Because the pest is determined to be of limited distribution and capable of causing serious economic impacts, nursery stock from infested counties must now be free of glassy-winged sharpshooter.
		A symposium on glassy-winged sharpshooter and Pierce's disease, sponsored by the University of California, is held in Costa Mesa.
		The focus of the hearing is new protocols to reduce the risk of the pest being transported on bulk grape shipments moving from infested counties to uninfested counties.

	Glassy-winged Sharpshooter Management Guidelines--UC IPM
		The glassy-winged sharpshooter is a large leafhopper that obtains its nutrients by feeding on plant fluids in the water-conducting tissues of a plant (the xylem).
		Immature stages (nymphs) of the glassy-winged sharpshooter look similar to the adults except they are smaller, wingless, uniform olive-gray in color, and have prominent bulging eyes.
		Where glassy-winged sharpshooter is established, insecticide treatments to reduce populations of this pest may be used on Xylella-susceptible plants to slow the spread of the disease.

		"The sharpshooter is so good at flying around and feeding on grapes that even one sharpshooter per acre is too many," said Mark Hoddle, extension entomologist at University of California, Riverside.
		Sharpshooters are native to California, but the invading, glassy-winged variety is much more aggressive and far ranging than its California cousin.
		Among the sharpshooter's natural enemies are species of tiny parasitic wasps that will lay their eggs within sharpshooter eggs.

		One of the most widely recognized and often published photographs on the subject of Gettysburg, this melancholy view of a dead Confederate youth laying behind a stone barricade at Devil's Den was taken on July 5 or 6, 1863 by photographer Alexander Gardner and two of associates.
		Gardner also speculated on the dead soldier's final moments in the sniper's nest, adding that he found his bleached bones still lying in the nest while on a later visit to the site.
		The true facts of his death on the rocky slopes of Devil's Den are better known today, but cannot dim the feeling of loss Americans should feel when we gaze upon this scene and realize that he once had a name, a family, and a home.

	American Civil War Books :: Shock Troops of the Confederacy - The Sharpshooter Battalions of the Army of Northern ...
		The modern sharpshooter appeared in Central Europe around 1700 (the term comes from the German scharfschutzen), so the book begins with a look at how European armies employed both light infantry and sharpshooters through the Napoleonic Wars and the Mexican War in America to the “Minié revolution” in firearms just prior to the Civil War.
		By the end of the war the sharpshooters were experimenting with tactics that would become standard practice fifty years later.
		Overall, Shock Troops of the Confederacy deals with three themes: the organization and employment of the Army of Northern Virginia’s sharpshooter battalions; the history of light infantry from 1700 to 1918; and the human story of the sharpshooters themselves—on the picket line, in the trenches, and in the field.

	Surprising symbiosis: Glassy-winged sharpshooter eats with friends
		Rockville, MD--Like a celebrity living on mineral water, the glassy-winged sharpshooter consumes only the dilute sap of woody plants--including grapevines in California, which is feverishly working to prevent the insect's flight into prized vineyards.
		Now, in a surprising study published in the June 6 issue of Public Library of Science Biology (PLoS Biology), researchers at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), the University of Arizona, and their colleagues have discovered that the sharpshooter's deprivation diet is sneakily supplemented by not one, but two co-dependent bacteria living inside its cells.
		The sharpshooter channels the sweets from sap to the bacteria, which in turn feed the insect vitamins, cofactors, and essential amino acids.

	Professional wrestling holds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The wrestler then steps over his opponent, turning the opponent over as in a sharpshooter and proceeds to squat and lean back.

		Sharpshooters are interesting to watch because they quickly move to the back side of stems or other plant parts when detected.
