The soldier, the cop, the hunter or the competitive marksman will all agree on one thing, only hits count. Depending on the game you’re playing, it may be more important to be faster or it may be more important to be precise, but in the end it’s the shooter who can achieve his aim – perfect shots on demand, anywhere, any time, and all the time - who wins.

Our newest book, The Secrets of Mental Marksmanship, was launched in late January 2010.

The Mental Marksmanship book includes chapters on:

• The Power in Your Mind
• The Power in Your World
• The Zone
• Tools to Increase your Conscious Powers
• Tools to Increase your Subconscious Powers
• Tools to Increase your Self Image
• Advanced Tools - Your Powers Applied
• The Final Power - The Power of Perseverance

Each key idea in the book is complemented by four stories, one each from the military, law enforcement, hunting and competition. There are about 150 stories altogether and they provide an entertaining backdrop to the main theme of the book: no matter what the application, every marksman who wants to win needs these mental skills.

The Secrets of Mental Marksmanship is published by Paladin Press.

• Windage
• Judging Distance
• Navigation
• Equipment List
• Rifle and Ammo

An Advanced Training Book for Military and Police Snipers

In this book, John Simpson answers the 'why' throughout this book where many others only give you the 'how'. You'll not find anyone who understands the 'math' behind sniping and can explain it as well. In this book, he dispels rumour 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 he’ll be taught. It’s also for the experienced sniper to answer the 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.

Some of the topics included are:

• Police vs. Military Snipers
• How Sneaky Are You?
• Cheating in Training
• Principles of Grouping & Application of Fire
• How Many Rounds Does A shot Group Make?
• They Call It A "Long Shot" For a Reason
• If I See It Can I Hit It?
• Range Errors Due To Incorrectly Assuming Target Height
• What Effect Does Powder Temperature Have?
• The Medulla Myth
• Effect of Canting the Rifle
• Ignorance Can Be Fixed, But Stupidity is Forever
• Man, Myth and Movers
• Flash Recognition in Sniper Training
• How to Think About Hit Probability

CoachNet 2007 - The Last Post

MilCun founders, Keith Cunningham and Linda Miller, wrote our first story together following the 1995 Ontario Provincial Championships. Since then, we have become noted authors in North American shooting circles. We've enjoyed having shooters from all over the world (at ranges all over the world) engage us in very interesting conversations based on stories of ours they have read.

We have had people from far-away places come to us for courses and coaching, their interest generated by the stories and books of ours they have read.

Many of our stories have been published in Precision Shooting Magazine, Tactical Shooter or Accurate Rifle. Some have been re-published in anthologies such as The Highpower Shooting Primer. The magazines and the book are available from Precision Shooting Inc - see our Links page.

A couple of years ago, our first full-size book was published by Paladin Press. "The Wind Book for Rifle Shooters" has been affectionately dubbed "The Wind Bible".

Our latest book "The Secrets of Mental Marksmanship" was launched in January 2010. We are proud of this book. It is based on the Mental Marksmanship Seminar we have been giving for years. Each of these seminars has been "tuned" to the audience... whenever we were talking to police, we'd tell police stories to illustrate our points... if  we were talking to competition shooters, we'd tell competition stories to illustrate our points. The book has all these stories and more... we support each main idea with four stories: one each for police, competitors, military and hunters. There are about 150 stories altogether, and they make for an enjoyable read.

We are currently working on a novel and have plans for several more technical books.
