Due to Sniper Central's growth in population, and an obvious growing interest in tactical shooting amongst a younger population (myself included), the idea has come up that a much more thorough and detailed FAQ be compiled.
I've submitted the idea to Mel while he is away, but have yet to hear back. I thought we might start with compiling a list of the most frequently asked questions that arise, and either simultaneously, or at a later date, others can reply with responses, and eventually, the answers will be compiled and edited (for clarity and conciseness) and submitted into *one* large FAQ, as opposed to the numerous FAQs which exist as stickies around the forums.
Let me know what you guys think: if things are thorough enough, say so... but if you think that there are a lot of FAQs not addressed in the posts below, perhaps we could begin a compilation?

The following are the already-existing FAQ, as well as a number of stickies which are FAQs that have been asked and answered.
(The original FAQ) http://www.snipercentral.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=244
(A separate, yet still original(?) FAQ) http://www.snipercentral.com/faq.htm
(Mil-Dots Thoroughly Discussed) http://www.snipercentral.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=529
ADDED FAQs (please reply/copy-paste responses!):
Why Bolt-Action vs. Semi?
What does the Geneva Convention say about Boat-Tail Hollow Points?
What are good low-budget sniper rifles, including light custom rifles?
What is ballistic coefficiency and what role does it have within long-range shooting? (Thorough discussion)
What does a cartridge's name represent (is there any significance to the acronyms applied to a cartdige's name, i.e. .300 RUM vs. .300 WM?) and which is best for what purpose?
What are some basic shooting techniques from the standard competition positions (prone supported, sitting supported, etc.)?
What should my routine cleaning/maintenance include?
What should I look for in a scope, and how should I take care of it?
How can I use my scope's features to adjust for windage, as well as distance, utilizing ballistic tables?
Who produces a left-handed action, and should I bother to get a left-handed action, or might there be an advantage to shooting with a right-handed action if I'm left-handed (as Subthermal alluded to, hehe)?
