    Order the Sniper’s Notebook:

    John Simpson answers the 'why' throughout this book where many others only give you the 'how'. You'll not find anyone that understands the science behind sniping and can explain it as well. In this book, he dispels rumor and myth while explaining what he has learned from years of teaching this craft to all levels of students. This book is intended for the sniper getting ready to attend his first school, to forewarn him about all the wrong stuff that he’ll be taught. It’s also for the experienced sniper to answer that nagging feeling he has that there must be a better way. And it’s also for the sniper instructor who wants to train his students better than he was trained. It isn’t intended to be the kind of book that you start at the beginning, continue to the end and then stop. Some chapters will be of greatest interest to police snipers, some to military snipers and a number will appeal to both equally.

    To Order: I require a copy of military or police credentials and international customers need to contact me before ordering to determine postage rates.

    Send check or money order for $30.00* to:

    Simpsonian Institute 2774 N. Cobb Parkway, Suite 109 #141 Kennesaw, GA 30144
