\"HE\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year I had the honor and privilege of standing on the line at Gunsite Academy<\/a> beside a husband and wife from Ohio. Allison and Ryan Jones were the winners of the Crimson Trace Gunsite Experience Sweepstakes<\/a>. (Read about it HERE<\/a>.) Well, it’s time again to submit your entry for a chance for you and a guest of your choice to win an all expense paid trip to the oldest and best firearms training academy in the world. This is also Gunsite Academy’s 40th Anniversary.<\/p>\n

The winner will receive\u00a0airfare, lodging, course registration fees, laser sights and ammunition packages to compliment their five-day training experience. This the only civilian handgun course I’m aware of that integrates\u00a0laser sights\u00a0into every aspect of the syllabus. Without question, this is the best sweepstakes in the world of firearms. Not only because of the training and gear you will receive for free, but because it is a chance for you to become a member of the Gunsite Family.<\/p>\n

I leave for a week at Gunsite on Saturday. While there, my 16 year old son will take the 250 Pistol Course and I’ll be participating in the first Scout Rifle Conference\u00a0to be held at Gunsite since Jeff Cooper passed. I’ll tell them your coming…<\/em><\/p>\n
