5th Annual Charity Handgun/Rifle Course for Leukemia/Lymphoma
We grew 73% from last year to this year!
The growth was all from word-of-mouth.
We raised $27,600 to fight leukemia/lymphoma and had 185 participants.
We gave away 10 brand new handguns, shotguns, and rifles and 7,500 rounds of ammo.
I have been waiting 6 months to send this message to you.
THIS is the email that I want all of you to forward to others!
The next charity course is 6 months from today.
Please forward to friends, family, co-workers, or anyone who might like to hear about this “once a year” event.
March 23rd, 2018
We only host this event once a year.
The next charity event is exactly 6 months from today!
Please plan on joining us for this important and fun leukemia fundraiser!
We are doing the registration online this year and we will be opening up registration exactly 1 month from today on Friday, Oct 20th.
Below is a short highlight video from the 2016 charity event! You will notice that this is family oriented training. So bring the whole family!

This event just gets bigger and bigger each year, and this next year is going to be EPIC!!!
We are going to be raffling off a HUGE number of firearms this year. Last year we sent home 7 brand new handguns, 2 Remington tactical shotguns and a beautiful Savage precision 6.5 creedmoor rifle, next year we hope double that and give away 20 firearms!
We will also hope to raffle off 15,000 rounds of ammo!
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. If that is all you do then 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 5th Annual Charity Handgun Course to raise money for leukemia/lymphoma and to truly learn how to shoot. Last year we raised $27,600 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.
You will learn to:
– fire a controlled pair into the thoracic cavity from a concealed holster in 1.7 seconds.
– fire a designated head shot into a 3″x4″ kill zone from a concealed holster in 1.9 seconds.
– fire hostage rescue shots.
– you will learn tactical reloads and emergency reloads, and learn the difference.
– you will learn to clear a type 1, type 2, type 3 malfunctions, and get back into the fight.
– you will learn how to breach doors and clear rooms, so you can safely clear your home.
– you will learn the legal, moral, and ethical ramifications of using lethal force.
– color code of mental awareness.
The cost of the course is just $200. Plus a $50 donation to fight leukemia/lymphoma for a total of $250. There is no course fee if you have a membership at Front Sight.
We are doing the registration online this year and we will be opening up registration exactly 1 month from today on Friday, Oct 20th.
Here is the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1302994479797316/?needsRefresh=true
You can join us for 2 days, 3 days, or the full 4 days.
You can take the handgun course or the semi auto rifle course.
Below are some public online photo albums from the 2017 event.
Enjoy the pics!
Day 4

Also:
New York Times reports exhaustive survey:
1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted.
1 in 4 women will be beaten.
1 in 6 women will be stalked.
Is it now clear? Get a gun and learn how to use it! Don’t be a victim!
Men, do the same. Get a gun and learn how to use it! Protect your ladies!
This past year we raised a total of $27,600.
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 50% of them will be ladies and teenage girls and boys. Grammas and Grampas too. Family training!
This will be a 4 day handgun or rifle course. Or just a 2 day course if you choose, or 3 days..
The cost of the course is just $200. ($2,000 value) plus a $50 donation to fight leukemia/lymphoma for a total of $250. There is no course fee if you have a membership at Front Sight.
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.

Joel Pirmann The highest compliment I could give Front Sight is not what I’ve gotten from being there, but who I’ve become because of their training. I apply the principles and discipline learned there to my practice as a doctor and to my life.
Robyn Rice Well said Joel. I always come home energized and focused, even though physically tired. This was my 4th time and I will definitely continue training at Front Sight. Strong work as always, Lance Reeter!
Devon Jane Best-Week-Ever!

Lance Reid Had a great time learning from the best. So many lessons learned in a short period of time. Loved to see 800 armed people getting along so well.

Ron Spagnola Best four days of firearms training ever!
Joseph Spencer
I was wrong about the Charity Shoot Lance Reeter put together at Front Sight’s facility in Pahrump. It soooo exceeded every expectation, up to and including the raffles. Yep, I won a new custom built rifle from The guys at Gunfighter Tactical. The training was excellent, and it was a raging social success. The shooters are now legend in 3-counties. I could go on, and will, but I’m assembling a list of invitees for next year right now!
Jill Harte Thanks Lance for everything. Having so much fun & fighting a wonderful cause all at the same time. We are truly learning to fight leukemia. Beautiful charity event…nice job as always!
Emily Maruer (11 years old) I know we have been saying this a lot but thanks so so so so so much for EVERYTHING you did for us this weekend. You put a smile on all of our faces as we left the range. I miss having a gun on my hip! I miss you and Chad, I just can’t wait till next year!
Mike Stephenson Just wanted to tell you how much fun Eric and I had at Front Sight again this year! We dramatically improved our skills and had a GREAT time doing it!
I missed DG by only 9 points using iron sights.
FYI…Eric, myself and Warren’s girlfriend were the only ones not using optics out there. We’ve got great optics btw and chose not to use them!
Already looking forward to next year and I plan on recruiting some of my friends to join us.
Thanks again for another well organized event, you do a great job!
Jennifer Burns Pirmann My 72 year old mother did the 4 day course! She is wiser about gun safety and now I feel she can protect herself! Had fun seeing all of our Front Sight Family.
Scott Rice Yes thank you Lance for all the hard work YEAR ROUND to get this gaggle together! Lets get together more often….
Lisa Rath What a great time! So many wonderful people!
Jim Miller Jr Fantastic event on all fronts. I hope to bring even more of my friends to support the effort next year.
Esther Hoffman Lance…can’t believe how great this event was and how much I learned! Thanks so much!

Joseph Spencer Can’t say enough about how great it was!
Kimberly Southwell I was invited to attend this event and only knew 2 people – the guy who invited us and my husband. After spending 4 awesome days with this group I walked away with so many wonderful friends and reunited with one that I knew 25 years ago Michael R Johnson. Awesome experience all around!!! You will see me at the next event !!!!
The participants last year included an 11 y/o girl, a 12 y/o boy, a 72 y/o and a 73 y/o grandmother, 6-7 law enforcement officers, one Navy SEAL, and everything in between! Training for all skill levels, beginners through advanced at a world class facility!

You should book your hotel rooms in Pahrump, NV now. 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 $99/night and about $40 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 48 hours before your reservation. Book early because the town will run out of hotel rooms about two month before the event.
There are other hotels and casinos in town and a google search will get you there.
You can buy ammo online and have it delivered to you in Pahrump instead of bringing ammo. I will provide you with details and the link if a follow up email.
Front Sight will be holding a multi state CCW class on the Tuesday March 27th the day after our 4 day event. So if you would like to stay for an extra day and get some CCW permits you can do that. Email me for details.
Be sure to share this email with all your family, friends, and co-workers that might like to hear about this annual charity event!
