Check out one of Canada's best snipers in the Great War, Joseph Pegamagabow (Peggy), a Cree Indian from Parry Sound Ontario with I believe 78 kills

As far as I know there was never a Army Sniper school in WWII. But the Marines actually had a full sniper coarse in 1943 until early 1944. I have the training schedule and I think it was 6 weeks if I remember right. It's been a while since I looked at it. But they did train on ranges up to a 1000 yards with their rifles.
And I have seen after action reports, especially on Okinawa that they were making kills at over a 1000 yards with the Unertl rifles.
