Gun Training… For Your Relationship?

Friday, October 28th, 2011

If you are like most people who have ever been in a relationship, you have probably experienced, at one point or another, the familiar concept of getting “comfortable.” Now, when I say, “comfortable,” I mean something a little different than being able to be around him without makeup or being fine with her smelling you after working in the yard for a few hours. I am talking about COMFORTABLE… when you come home from work, and all you do is eat some dinner and watch some TV. Day in and day out, that’s what you do, and it is totally fine. It is comfortable… until one day, it hits you. “Man… we are BORING.”

I know I have been there. So what do you do to fix this? I know an awesome place. It could be considered out of the ordinary to suggest something like this, because many people would suggest to go out dancing or go on a hike or to the zoo or something… but I am going to suggest getting some first class gun training with your significant other at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Parhump, Nevada.

Front Sight is the perfect way to add some spice and oomph into your relationship, while building strength, trust and bringing you closer together. I will tell you why.

One, attending a gun training course from world renowned Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, is way more exciting than the rerun of I Love Lucy or Seinfeld that you have probably seen seventeen times. At Front Sight, you will learn how to safely and effectively shoot a gun for self defense, by listening to interesting presentations, watching awe inspiring demonstrations and practicing some real life, hands on tactical gun training. The presentations and demonstrations are truly amazing. It is seriously like heading out to a shooting museum… and getting to participate.

Two, when you practice your hands on tactical gun training at Front Sight, you partner up with another student. Partnering with your significant other will help build communication because you are helping each other learn. You are keeping each other safe, learning how to teach clearly and non judgmentally while listening to each other and having fun. Front Sight is a fantastic partnering experience!

Three, Front Sight will help you build trust. Ignatius Piazza and his team of firearms training instructors at Front Sight teach self defense and family protection. Don’t you think that you would be more likely to trust someone that you are confident could save your life in any dangerous situation? Forget the classic exercise of standing in front of your significant other and falling into his or her arms. At Front Sight, you get to learn how to keep each other safe and secure while feeling the power of a gun in your hands. It is pretty much the coolest trust building exercise ever created.

Attending a gun training course from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight is a great option to get out of that boring and repetitive lifestyle that many of us live. It will change things up. It will change your life. It could change your relationship. Are you ready for making that positive change?

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute: Be More Than Great

Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

When it comes to gun training, if you want to learn to be more than just a great shooter, there is only one place to go. What do I mean when I say, “more than just a great shooter”? There are many people out there who are pretty good at shooting. These people may shoot pretty close to the bullseye of their target almost every time. These people might be considered “great” shooters. But then there are the guys that can HIT the bullseye… EVERY time. THESE people are MORE than great shooters. There are people who can have their gun out of their holster and in shooting position in just a few seconds. These people may be considered great. Then there are people who can have their guns out of their holsters and their target shot… all in less than a second and a half. These people are more than great shooters. The great shooters may know how to shoot a gun pretty well. But put them in a life threatening situation and they may wish that they were more than just a great shooter. The guys with the extra skills have a greater chance of escaping life threatening and other dangerous situations, like robberies, rape and muggings.

So how do I become more than just a great shooter? Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute offers the world’s greatest gun training so anyone can become more than just a great shooter. Ignatius Piazza can turn absolute beginner shooters into shooters that rival in skill with the shooting professionals, and in many cases, can beat the pros in a shootout, through his amazing gun training programs at Front Sight. But don’t think that Front Sight is only a gun training school for beginners. Ignatius Piazza also offers several different types of advanced gun training courses, so you can keep improving and perfecting your technique.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is your one stop place to get gun training of any kind, teaching gun safety, shooting speed, perfect precision and self defense, along with a large list of other things. It is a place where beginners and advanced shooters alike can come together and learn from highly trained gun training instructors, as well as learn from each other, in an environment that is safe, challenging and fun. Ignatius Piazza and the gun training instructors at Front Sight work hard to make sure every student learns and succeeds, and that no one walks away disappointed. After one self defense gun training course from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight, any student can have shooting skills that are stronger than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population.

So, think about it. Do you know how to use a gun or are you a total beginner? Are you a great shooter now? Would you like to get the gun training that can turn you into more than just a great shooter in only a few days? Call Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight today and find out how you can get that gun training!

Summer Vacations at Front Sight

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Summer is definitely here! The weather is getting hotter, smiles are more abundant throughout town and many people, including students and teachers, are enjoying their summer vacations. What are your plans for this upcoming summer vacation?

Many people are choosing to spend a few days of their summer having the best time of their lives. They are planning on attending one of the many self defense gun training courses at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Parhump, Nevada, which is just outside of Las Vegas. Wait… did I just say that people are going to be attending a gun training course and having the best time of their lives? Yep, I sure did!

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, founded and directed by world renowned Dr. Ignatius Piazza, is the greatest gun training school in the world. Students of Ignatius Piazza learn truck loads of information about guns, gun safety, self defense, family protection and how to use a gun effectively, all while in extremely safe environment and having a blast. As a student of Front Sight, I learned more than I ever thought possible AND had way more fun that I ever dreamed I could have. I went with one friend, and we both agreed that Front Sight was just incredible.

Most people want to have fun on their vacations. So why not include something educational and life changing to go along with that fun? Front Sight Firearms Training Institute promises to provide all three aspects, making it the perfect summer getaway. Being so close to Las Vegas also promises you that if you want to conclude your summer trip with some bright lights and good food, it is all right there in the palm of your hand. Front Sight is in the best location possible, whether you want to just go for an intense gun training course or whether you want to include the night life into your outing.

What’s even better is that Front Sight gun training courses are only a few days long, so if you still want to make that summer trip to the Caribbean or Hawaii, you totally can! Front Sight gun training courses are created to meet your needs, so there are some two day gun training courses and some four day gun training courses. Front Sight even has single day gun training courses if you are REALLY pressed for time! But I will tell you this… one day at Front Sight and you will be hooked. I am certainly glad I signed up for a Four Day Defensive Handgun Training Course! If I had only enrolled in a one day gun training course, I would have been sad that it was over so soon.

So, whether you have a long summer vacation or a short one, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is the perfect addition to your break. You will leave knowing that you will forever be safer and more aware, as well as more confident and secure. Your family will be safer, because you will know how to better protect them. You will learn things that will amaze you and entertain you, while enjoying every minute of your stay.

When planning your vacation this summer, don’t forget about Front Sight.

Gun Training v. Gun Control: Choose Gun Training

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

How did you spend your Fourth of July? Many people spent their Independence Day at the barbecue, enjoying burgers and maybe a cold one or two. Some people party their cares away. But there is one thing that is for sure: Walking down the street on July Fourth is a huge reminder of how great it is to be an American. People carry flags and fly them high, proud of where they live and where they come from. We, as Americans, are afforded some of the greatest freedoms we could ever ask for. I don’t know about you, but I would really like to keep those freedoms.

It is almost time for another Election Year. Seeing what has happened over the last several years, it is obvious we really need to think about who we elect as our new President. What are the issues that are really important to you? For many people, like myself, the issue of health care is important. Taxes interest a lot of people. The Department of Defense interests a large group of people. Another issue that is super important to me is that good old Second Amendment: The Right to Bear Arms.

We have come way too close to losing that right… and I want a President that is going to help us keep it. However, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, has worked hard in the past to help our lawmakers know just how important that right is to us, and he will not stop working. Ignatius Piazza, the founder and director of a huge gun training school called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, is an avid Second Amendment supporter, as am I. He understands how important it is that we keep that right to bear arms. If we lose that right, it puts us in danger because as much as we don’t like to admit, the bad guys are still going to have guns. Gun control is not the answer. Guns are never going to be completely out of the picture. They will always be there.

The truth of the matter is, is that guns in untrained hands are dangerous. There is no trying to get out of or around that one. But guns in the hands of someone who has had great gun training, like the self defense gun training offered by Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, can be wonderful tools for family protection and self defense. What we need to be doing is requiring professional gun training, rather than trying to kick guns out of the picture.

Front Sight offers the best gun training that money can buy. In just a few short days, Ignatius Piazza can teach anyone the skills it takes to safely and effectively use a gun for self defense. After just four days with Ignatius Piazza in his gun training courses at Front Sight, any student can have better gun handling skills than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population… and that includes people who use guns for a living.

I support the Second Amendment. I support Ignatius Piazza. And, as a student of the gun training school, I support Front Sight!

Front Sight Offers Gun Training For Everyone

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

If you have been considering getting yourself some gun training, look no further. I have got the perfect gun training school for you. Yes, you, no matter who you happen to be. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the excellent gun training school in Pahrump, Nevada (just about an hour outside of Las Vegas) offers gun training of all kinds and other self defense training courses to people from all walks of life, professions and levels of gun training experience.

Founder and director, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, offers several different gun training courses such as Self Defense Handgun Training Courses, Tactical Shotgun Training Courses, Practical Rifle Training Courses, Automatic Weapons Training Courses and various skill building gun training courses, to name just a few. Basically, no matter what type of gun you want to learn how to use, Front Sight has got a course for you. And just so you are aware, these gun training courses are extremely dynamic in the specific types of guns you can learn how to use. In my first self defense handgun training course at Front Sight, some students rented guns from Ignatius Piazza, while other students brought their own. There were several different types of guns used in my course, and the gun training instructors knew how to use and manipulate each and every one of them. Every time a new technique was taught, they taught it for every gun. I rented a Glock from Ignatius Piazza. Someone else had brought a 1911 pistol. Someone else brought a left handed revolver. Our instructors taught us all how to safely shoot each one.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute provides superior gun training to people from so many different professions. My gun training course at Front Sight included writers, computer programmers, police officers, military personnel and even an instructor from another gun training school. (If THAT doesn’t tell you how good Front Sight is, I don’t know what will!) It did not matter what anyone did for a living. We were just all there to learn how to use a gun for self defense or learn how to perfect the shooting skills we already had. Front Sight is a great place for anyone, no matter what their background may be.

Also, Front Sight offers wonderful gun training at all levels. For example, I was a first time student of Front Sight. I had no professional training and had shot a gun once in my life, and it wasn’t even a handgun. There were Front Sight repeat students in my class, and then there were students like the man I mentioned earlier… the instructor at the other gun training school. And you know what? We ALL learned. I spoke with that instructor and he told me he learned stuff from Front Sight that he had never even thought of before. I learned so many useful things from Ignatius Piazza’s gun training program at Front Sight. No matter what your current level of gun training is, Front Sight has a course for you!

Gun Training… Does it Even Matter?

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

“There were police cars everywhere. One of the officers came on the megaphone and announced that there was a dude roaming the neighborhood who was armed and dangerous. I was home alone…”

My coworker proceeded to tell me the story of her experience over the weekend. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt, but I think I freaked her out at my question. “What would you have done if the guy came to your door or tried to get into your house?”

My officemates continued sharing frightening stories of our experiences from the past with armed men, potential burglars and police searches of neighborhoods. It is awful just how often we are put into situations that could require some serious self defense skills. I wrapped up the conversation by talking about my gun training from Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, at his intense gun training school in Nevada called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. Someone said, “Yeah, well I wouldn’t want to shoot a guy.”

I responded with, “Neither would I… but if it came down to it and I had to defend myself or protect my family… that’s the time that I would be blasted happy I had the gun training that I had.” I went on to explain that Front Sight trains students how to use a gun for self defense, but that the gun training school also trains students how to avoid needing to use the gun in the first place. The gun training instructors at Front Sight teach that a gun should only be used if there is no other solution or way out of the situation. They teach real self defense skills at Front Sight, not just how to shoot a gun.

I thought a lot about the situation that my coworker had described. I thought about what I would do if I were to be in her shoes. Then I thought about the difference between me before my Front Sight gun training and me now, after being trained by Ignatius Piazza’s professional gun training instructors. I am much more confident and comfortable with how I would handle a similar situation now, to say the least.

Front Sight offers the world’s best gun training that money can buy. In just a few days, any student of Front Sight can have shooting skills that surpass ninety nine percent of the gun owning population. Those few days with Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight can change any student, even complete beginners, into someone who can shoot better than someone that shoots guns for a living. Ignatius Piazza can make big changes in anyone’s life, including beginner shooters and well advanced and experienced marksmen. He made huge, unbelievable changes in mine, and I am so grateful for it.

Think back to the story about my coworker’s weekend. What would you do if you were in her shoes? If you do not know, or if you are uncomfortable with your answer, maybe it is time that you contact Dr. Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight and change it.

The Chronicles of Front Sight: My Experience, Part Ten

Monday, September 26th, 2011

When I shot the bad guys that were holding my hostage during the hostage situations scenario at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, I hit the bad guys dead on. Literally, I could not see my bullet hole at first because the front sight of my gun was blocking my view. How in the world did I accomplish this? ESPECIALLY when, on the first day of my first self defense gun training course at Front Sight, I barely ever even hit my target at all? I had classified myself as the worst shooter in the world (or at least one of them) and now I was being 100% accurate? What? HOW did this happen?

There is this thing that about ninety five percent of the gun using population do, and it is a mistake that can critically affect the accuracy of shooting. My gun training at Front Sight from Four Weapons Combat Master Dr. Ignatius Piazza and his team of professional gun training instructors taught me how to recognize it, why we do it AND how to fix it.

In fact, my gun training at Front Sight was so good, that I actually learned how to recognize when people do this without even seeing them shoot. That’s right… I can now just look at the placement of someone’s bullets and know if they are doing this… all because of my gun training from Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors at Front Sight.

On the first day of my gun training at Front Sight, I did not understand that concept of “mashing the trigger” or a “surprise break.” I had no idea what it meant when someone said those things. But over the next couple days, my Front Sight gun training instructors taught me what those words meant and how much it could actually affect my shooting. When I first got that real surprise break, I was amazed at the accuracy of my shot. I almost thought it was an accident… and then I did it again. And again. And again.

The Front Sight gun training instructors do not teach you how to be a “good” shooter. They teach you how to be a PERFECT shooter. The change in my shooting (in just four days) is mind boggling and almost unbelievable. I don’t know if I would have actually believed it could happen to me until I saw it for myself. Let it be known that Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is the best fun training school in the whole world. If Dr. Ignatius Piazza and his gun training instructors at Front Sight can make ME able to shoot as well as I did on my last day of my first self defense gun training course, they can help you.

BUT… Front Sight does more than just turn regular people into people that can shoot better than professional shooters like police officers. It changed my whole outlook on life and feelings about myself. Come with me, one more time, into The Chronicles of Front Sight: My Experience, The Final Chapter, and see why Front Sight is so much more than just a gun training school.

Gun Training For 50,000

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

Training almost fifty thousand students in the span of a year, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute ranks number one in the gun training industry throughout the world. Founder and director, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, has spent much time, effort and funds to create the best gun training school in the world. Today, Front Sight is a place where people can come together and take self defense gun training courses, practice competitive shooting and learn combat gun use. The wide variety of gun training courses include all levels of gun training, so every student can feel comfortable in his or her own gun training class.

Ignatius Piazza designed his gun training program at Front Sight to emulate the best qualities of the gun training schools where he trained, but to leave out the negative aspects and anything else that was less than great. Thus, Ignatius Piazza ended up with Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, a perfect blend of all of the good and none of the bad. Front Sight’s gun training courses cover all types of learning styles, as to cater to many different types of people.

Audio learners get to listen to and participate in active lectures pertaining to gun training, gun safety, the legal side of gun use, The Combat Mindset, The Color Code of Mental Awareness and much, much more. Visual learners appreciate that the gun training instructors at Front Sight demonstrate each exercise and idea thoroughly and repetitively, so the students can see how each drill is carried out. In addition to seeing the correct way to use a gun, the Front Sight gun training instructors will also show how NOT to use a gun. (But don’t worry; they clearly explain when they are showing what not to do!) And of course, kinesthetic learners like myself get to participate in hands on tactical gun training such as stationary target practice, shooting a moving target, diagnosing and fixing gun malfunctions, night gun training, home invasion scenarios and even a shooting competition among other Front Sight students. Each type of learning style is emphasized in the gun training courses. This greatly increases the amount of information that is stored in each Front Sight student, which increases the effectiveness of the course itself.

I don’t know about you, but I find much more value in a gun training course (or any course, for that matter) from which I actually retain a lot of information, as opposed to a course where I only learn things to store in short term memory. The gun training courses at Front Sight are created to be stored in your long term memory… meaning that the information will be more readily at hand when you need it.

It is no wonder that Front Sight trains almost fifty thousand students in a year and is constantly growing. Every year, more and more students attend Front Sight… this is no coincidence. As soon as you attend your first gun training course with Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight, you will truly see and understand why.

Front Sight and the Fifty Percent Rule

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

In regards to gun training, you may have heard of the fifty percent rule. In a situation where self defense or family protection is needed, you will only be about fifty percent as accurate as your best day on the shooting range. Basically, that means you are going to be a bit slower and your bullets are going to hit further away from your exact target. If, on your best day, you hit about four inches away from your target, adjust that by fifty percent. Now you are going to be about six inches away. When it comes to small amounts like that, the extra two inches doesn’t really seem like that big of a deal. But what if the bad guy has a gun to your sister’s head and is holding her up as a human shield? If you miss his head, you may have just hit your sister. Are you okay with that?

In stressful and life threatening situations, your brain reacts differently than in calm and controlled situations. While shooting targets at the shooting range, you have all the time in the world. When someone has a gun to your sister’s head, the seconds count. You need to be able to remain calm and keep your cool in these situations, so that your self defense mechanism will be more accurate, quicker, smoother and thus, more effective.

Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute wants to give you the training you need to be able to keep your mind and hand steady, even in these horrifying situations. The gun training courses at Front Sight concentrate on gun safety, and teach how to use a gun for self defense and family protection in actual life threatening situations. Throughout your gun training course, you will hear interesting lectures, watch entertaining shooting demonstrations and practice hands on tactical gun training, performing drills and exercises repetitively until they are second nature to you. This repetition may sound boring, but the gun training instructors at Front Sight keep things exciting and fun, so the class never drags or feels stale. You will interact with other people and will get the chance to participate in scenario based training. You will learn what it feels like to be in a threatening situation, so if you should ever have to endure one for real, your response will come more naturally, since you have technically already been there and done that.

The idea of Ignatius Piazza’s dream for Front Sight is not to make you a good shooter. The idea is to make you a perfect shooter, so that the fifty percent rule need not affect you too much. If you are constantly hitting your target spot on, or even a couple centimeters away, even if you include that fifty percent decrease in accuracy, you are still doing pretty well when it comes to accuracy. Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight will train you to be the best shooter you can be, guaranteed.

The Chronicles of Front Sight: My Experience, Part Nine

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

You may be pretty good at shooting. Heck, your bullets may hit pretty close to the bullseye of a target almost every shot you make. But did you know that while under stress, your shots will only be about fifty percent as accurate as your best day on the range? During my first Four Day Defensive Handgun Training Course at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, I was shown just how much a stressful situation can change your shooting ability. In The Chronicles of Front Sight: My Experience, Part Eight, I talked about the Front Sight shooting competition, and what had happened because of my stress levels rising. Dr. Ignatius Piazza and the gun training instructors at Front Sight pay special attention to helping students learn how to remain calm in stressful situations, so their stress does not get the best of them in a real life threatening moment.

At Front Sight, I learned through scenario based training, which helps overall comfort levels when having to experience the situations in real life. Since a student of Front Sight has already, “been there and done that,” if you will, an actual life threatening situation experience becomes easier to handle. Think about it. What are the differences in the two following situations?

1.    A masked gunman pulls a gun out at you. You have never experienced this type of situation before. You have only shot stationary paper targets with circles on them at the shooting range.
2.    A masked gunman pulls a gun out at you. You have gone through this situation dozens of times with a professional gun training instructor. You have been forced to escape the situation several times in a row, and have even done it in front of people.

Which situation would you rather be in? Ignatius Piazza made sure that his gun training at Front Sight would prepare his students for real life. He brought this to a personal level to me when, in one of my last exercises on the range, the gun training instructor placed a target in front of me that was a replica of a hostage situation. Each student in my gun training course had to name his or her hostage, and it had to be someone each person really cared about.

I named mine after my niece. Talk about a stressful situation! I knew how badly I would feel if I hit the wrong person on the target. However, because of my excellent gun training at Front Sight, I was able to focus on what I was doing and really put myself into the situation, as if it were real life… and I saved my niece.

Remember how on Day One of my Front Sight Self Defense Gun Training Course, I was pretty much the worst shooter that ever lived? Yeah… on Day Four at Front Sight, I was able to shoot a gun EXACTLY where I aimed it WHILE being put under an extreme amount of stress.

So why was I so accurate in my shooting? The Chronicles of Front Sight: My Experience, Part Ten will explain the differences between how I shot on Day One versus how I shot on Day Four. There, you will learn the mistake that so many people (about 95% of the gun using population) make, and most people don’t even know they are doing it. Come with me on our adventure and let me show you what I learned at Front Sight that made me able to shoot exactly on target.
