3rd Annual Charity Handgun Course.
At Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, Nevada.
April 1st.
This is a 4 day course, or you can enroll for just two days. Most of us will be taking the Handgun Course but you also have the option to take the Rifle Course if you choose.
Every gun owner “thinks” they know how to shoot! But very few actually do.
Just because you can take your gun to the range, take it out of the box, load it, put holes in the target, unload it and take it home without shooting yourself DOES NOT mean you know how to shoot.
It is the equivalent of going to the golf driving range and hitting 50 balls off a tee on a piece of artificial grass and then claiming you know how to play golf. However you are definitely not capable of then playing 18 holes of golf using various drivers, wedges, putters, playing the fairway, the rough, reading the greens, the sand and water traps, scoring, etc.
If you want to actually learn how to play golf then you sign up for a 2-4 day golf clinic with professional instructors. Learning to shoot is no different. There is so much more to shooting than just putting holes in paper.
I invite all of you to join us for our 3rd Annual Charity Handgun Course to raise money for leukemia/lymphoma and to truly learn how to shoot. Last year we raised over $15,000 dollars for those that are fighting for their lives.
This is a family event.
You don’t even need to own a handgun, all the gear is available for rent.
We have 116 people signed up for this event already. I hope you can join us too!

New Details For The Charity Course
We are now at the 33 day mark! The date is coming up fast!
Please review the information below to get your gear ready, order your ammo, hotel, etc.
Unfortunately I just got word last week that the Best Western is booked! So if you still need to book your room check with the Holiday Inn Express. There are also a couple casino/hotels in Pahrump that you can check with. Make sure you tell them that you are a Front Sight student to get a discount. Also remember that your reservation needs to start on March 31st, the night before the course starts.
This is why I have been imploring everyone for 3 months to book your hotel room early! Very soon ALL the hotel rooms in Pahrump will be booked for the charity course weekend.
Get your gear ready!
You will need a holster custom made for your model of handgun (not a generic universal holster). A double mag pouch. At least 3 magazines. 600 rounds of ammo. A cap with a brim. Glasses that protect your eyes on the sides. Electronic ear protection. For day 3-4 you will need a concealment garment (jacket, button down shirt, etc).
If you need to buy gear call Empowered Firearms or Gunfighter Tactical to see if they have what you need in stock- www.empoweredfirearms.com or http://www.gunfightertactical.com
If they don’t have it in stock then order online here: http://shop.blade-tech.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_130&products_id=6846
Blade-Tech has most gear is in stock and ships immediately, but some gear takes 6 weeks for delivery. So don’t sit on this task! Buy it locally or order right away!
(you will also need electronic ear protection and eye protection) These can be purchased locally at Empowered Firearms www.empoweredfirearms.com, or you can rent them from the pro shop at Front Sight. I recommend buying rather than renting since neither of these are expensive.
Ammo: You will need 600 rounds of ammo for the 4-day course. I recommend that you buy a case of 1000 rounds so that you have some to take home with you. But you can buy just 600 rounds if you want. If you bring your own ammo it must be factory, NO reloads.
I always purchase my ammo from www.ammosupplywarehouse.com. They are located in Pahrump and you will not need to have the ammo shipped. Go online to purchase your ammo, and put “Charity Event April 1th Best Western delivery” in the comments section. Your ammo will be delivered to the hotel on Thursday night. They have great pricing and are supporting the charity event by donating 3,000 rounds of ammo for the charity raffle. You can order as much ammo as you want, meaning you can order several cases so that you have lots of ammo to bring home with you. You can also order any type of ammo such as rifle and shotgun ammo. These are great guys, they have quality ammo and they have very good prices!
Please don’t wait until the last minute to register, this is a big event and it is a lot of work. Getting registrations done early is a huge help.

You can start booking your hotel rooms in Pahrump, NV. Here are two popular options:
Best Western
Address: 1101 S Highway 160, Pahrump, NV 89048
Phone: (775) 727-5100
Holiday Inn Express Pahrump
861 S Highway 160, Pahrump, NV 89048
877-410-6667
Both hotels offer a discount when you book if you tell them that you are a “Front Sight student”. Both offer a nice buffet breakfast. Rates for Best Western average about $68/night and about $12 more at the Holiday Inn Express.
Neither hotel charges anything to your credit card until you check in, and both allow you to cancel your reservation up to 24 hours before your reservation. Book early because the town will run out of hotel rooms about two month before the event.
The CIA announced 3 weeks ago that they have arrested 82 ISIS operatives in the US so far this year!
The FBI announced 2 weeks ago that they currently have over 1,000 active ISIS related investigations going on across all 50 states!
They are here!!!
Also:

6 Reasons Every Woman Should Own a Gun.
http://gearpatriot.com/6-reasons-every-woman-should-own-a-gun/
This past year we raised a total of $15,020.
There are not enough people in the national bone marrow registry to match everyone who is suffering from lymphoma, leukemia, and other blood cancers.
This charity event will support and grow the bone marrow registry, fund research, and “literally” save lives!
So if you would like to make a difference in this world, if you would like to help us save lives.
If you would like to step out of your comfort zone.
If you would like to add some adventure to your life that you will be talking about for the rest of the year!
Then I invite you to join us for this very worthy charity event!
This course is held at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Nevada, about 40 minutes from Las Vegas. Most of us stay in hotels in Pahrump, NV which is about 12 miles from the training facility. Of course you can stay in Las Vegas if you want. This is a world class firearms training facility that is “family” oriented and not a bootcamp type training. There will be over 600 students training with us that weekend and 45% of them will be ladies and teenage girls and boys.
This will be a 4 day handgun course. Or a 2 day course if you choose.
The regular cost of the 4 day course is $2,000. But I have a Lifetime Membership at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and membership has it’s privileges! I can get my friends and family into the course for just $200.
In addition to enrolling in the course, everyone will donate $50 that will go to the National Bone Marrow Registry. Our goal is to have a least 120-140participants.
It is a fun way to support a very, very worthy cause!
It’s kind of like a charity golf tournament, except it is a world class handgun course!
Please join us and support this great cause.
If you have a membership at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute then your course is already paid for and you just send me a $50 donation to fight leukemia. If you need a discounted course certificate I have them available for $200 so you send me a check for $250 total.
You should start sending me your checks. Made out to:
