AN INVITATION TO THE SNIPER COMMUNITY
Something good has started to happen for the advancement of
the sniping community. It has not been because of the actions
or input of any one person or organization. It is because
of a great wealth of knowledge that has begun to be tapped
and spread. It is because of the dedication of many and their
willingness to share and learn from each other. I am offering
up to every member of the sniper community a chance to become
a part of this. From the trigger pullers, to the team leaders,
and the commanders, all can benefit and are needed to help
in this endeavor.
Ask
yourself what if I needed the answer to a question. It could
be on a topic from ballistics to a new product that you are
considering. It used to be that the only way to answer most
questions was through individual experimentation and testing.
If you were lucky you knew someone that had specific knowledge
that you could trust. By contacting that person you saved
both money and time. Two commodities that none of us have
a heavy supply of. Now what if through a simple procedure
you had in your hands the capability to contact hundreds of
individuals with specific knowledge. Would that be of value
to you?
What
is it that I am talking about? It is SNIPERSONLINE, an association
that started as an Internet mailing list connecting snipers
from all around the country and the world and continues to
use technology to advance the sniping craft.
With
the proliferation of the technology into everyone’s
life the computer and email has become the fastest and most
convenient way to network. By using the capabilities of this
resource it is now capable to tap and share the knowledge
and resources of the sniper community so that we may all learn
from each other.
How
does it work? One way is through a email list. A member of
the list sends an email message to the list’s email
address. The email message is then sent out to every member
of the list. If another member of the list wishes to comment
on the message they just send back an email message to the
list’s address and it is also sent out to every member
of the list. What develops is a running conversation through
email messages, a conversation with the total list community.
Who
can become an association member? The association is restricted
to those that have an active interest in the field. Snipers,
team leaders, commanders, trainers, and individuals of advantage
to the field are all invited to apply. Only after receiving
an application with proof of who they are (police or military
ID, etc..) will a member be considered for acceptance into
the community. This procedure helps to keep the list secure.
By assuring that only those that have a need are on the list,
the members may feel free to have open discussions of topics
and tactics.
The
list has already grown from a few to over 400 members and
is expanding everyday. We have numerous names that are familiar
to the sniping field already on board. There are resources
from noted trainers and authors, to a member of the Department
of the Army Judge Advocate General’s office. Representatives
from Spain, France, and Canada are onboard and this list is
still growing. This diversity adds to the value of the association
because it affords different opinions and viewpoints.
So
how do you become a member? Apply. Send a written request
or completed application to the below address outlining your
desire and qualifications. The written request is required
to maintain the security of the list. Once accepted you will
be sent a message to confirm your email address. You send
back a reply stating that the software has the right address
and you’re in. Dive in and enjoy. It’s really
that simple.
Come
and join us. Your knowledge and experience could mean a great
deal to another sniper. Also spread the word. Tell other qualified
people that you know about the association and get them online.
Together we can continue to expand the knowledge base of the
sniper community.
