Dear fellow Professional,

This is an open letter to all professional law enforcement, corrections and parallel military snipers who have not yet heard of the American Sniper Association  - ASA.

This Association was founded in April of 2000 by a core group of teaching professionals who have dedicated themselves to the Police Sniper community.   The ASA is endorsed by Centermass Inc., Snipercraft Inc., Snipersonline and Crosshairs Inc.

The ASA is a non-profit association with the expressed purpose of enhancing the image, abilities, proficiency and safety of the professional tactical sniper through education, support, and information sharing.

When you join the ASA you'll be part of a secure professional community and receive the following benefits to name just a few;

•  Membership Card and Certificate of Membership. 

• The ASA quarterly newsletter, -Sniper-, for information sharing and training opportunities.

•  The opportunity to join the secure -Snipersonline- e-mail group for collecting and disseminating sensitive operational information from a vast pool of fellow professionals. 

• A professional resource providing facts, figures, tactics, and training information relating to the professional tactical sniper. 

The American Sniper Association is designed to provide snipers everywhere with a collective voice, enabling them to address administrators, manufacturers, and trainers as a unified body. The ASA has national standards of proficiency and performance for the professional police sniper community.

We predict that the ASA will do for the professional police sniper community what the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) has done for the tactical community in general.

If you are a professional operational sniper, or former student or associate of any Crosshairs Police Sniper course, early NHPS&TC Police Sniper schools, or attendee of the North American Police Sniper Summit, I strongly encourage you join this Association. 

This is your Association and your involvement and participation is crucial ? take a minute to sign up or visit the ASA web site at  www.americansniper.org.   Welcome to the community!"

Respectfully,

Edward F.  Gross
