30 Days to Sharp Shooter: Review Exposes Jason Hanson’s Guide to Dead Accurate Shooting
Shane Michaels releases a review of 30 Days to Sharp Shooter, former CIA agent Jason Hanson’s guide to accurate shooting.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 01, 2014
30 Days to Sharp Shooter, a step-by-step guide developed by former CIA agent Jason Hanson that teaches readers how to become a dead accurate shooter in just 30 days has caught the attention of Shane Michaels, prompting an investigative review.
“When it comes to self defense with a personal firearm, practically anyone can pull the trigger, but what could potentially mean the difference between life or death is where that bullet hits,” reports Michaels. “That’s where Jason Hanson’s guide comes in. It teaches readers how they can train themselves to stay accurate even when shooting under pressure. By using this guide, people will not have to wonder or worry about their ability to perform like they need to when protecting themselves or their family.”
Jason Hanson is a former CIA officer, author of The Covert Guide to Concealed Carry, and writer for Combat handguns magazine. Jason has trained with some of the top shooters in the world, in both the private and public sector, and over the years has also personally trained thousands of students who had varying levels of personal firearm experience. He created the 30 Days to Sharp Shooter guide to make his expertise and training resources available to the masses, and allow anyone who wants to improve their shooting skills to do so at an affordable cost. The training guide includes the specific steps and strategies that Jason uses himself daily to keep his shooting skills sharp and accurate. It outlines the trigger control secret that 1 in 1,000 trained shooters have never shown, along with a “blank panel” drill that takes less than 9 minutes, and a variety of target strategies that will help readers improve their sills in practically no time. Currently, the 30 Days to Sharp Shooter guide is available at a 40 percent discount for just $27.
“The 30 Days to Sharp Shooter guide really is the closest thing to a personal training session with Jason Hanson that they can get,” says Michaels. “But the best part is that instead of paying $250 for just one training session, users of this guide get an entire 30 days’ worth of training for a fraction of the cost.”
“Even for those who aren’t quite sure if this guide will be effective in helping them improve their shooting accuracy, they can rely on the 100 percent money-back guarantee that Jason Hanson offers. If customers aren’t entirely happy with all the information in the guide and how it has improve their skills, they can simply just request a refund of their purchase.”

Wall Streeters Call This Guy To Plan Their Wildest Bachelor Parties
We learned a lot of things from New York Magazine's interview with Lee Abbamonte, the city's most lavish bachelor party planner.
For example, Soviet-era tank riding is really desirable, and strippers are "pretty cliché" among the wealthy bachelors he calls clients.
Abbamonte, a 35-year-old self-described "global adventurer," plans $10,000+ per person bachelor parties, mostly for Wall Street guys or very private celebrities.
The travel expert (he was the youngest American to visit every country at 32) started planning the parties in 2008 after getting requests from strangers after blogging about his own adventures.
In his interview with New York's The Cut, he shared that Kiev, of all places, is a top city to have an over-the-top bachelor party due to its late Eastern European nights (ending around 7 am), cheap liquor ($20 bottles), and G.I. Joe-esque adventures like driving tanks and shooting things.
At Abbamonte's parties, bachelor party standbys like steak and strippers are a bore. He says he veers towards things with more "shock value," like zip lining, ATV riding, and bungee jumping.
But that doesn't mean women aren't involved. He notes the importance of "hot tour guides," and extols Krakow for its oil-wrestling girls.
The craziest party he ever planned took place in Las Vegas, and cost more than $20,000 per person. Activities included a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, racing non-street-legal Ferraris at 180 miles an hour, shooting machine guns in the Mojave desert, BASE jumping 829 feet from the Stratosphere Hotel, and flying F-16 fighter jets.

World Cup Fever Still Contained Mostly to Coasts (Infographic)
Millions of Americans have World Cup fever, but it remains for the most part a coastal epidemic.
As TheWrap reported last week, the largest markets for ESPN's household World Cup ratings have been contained mostly to the most Eastern and Western states.
*Also read:* Here's Sad Proof Middle America Doesn't Care About World Cup (Infographic)
And as our new infographic shows, that trend held with Thursday's matchup between the U.S. and Germany. (Click on the map below to enlarge it, and click here for the map of the top markets for the U.S-Portugal game.)
Could World Cup increase in popularity as the U.S. continues to do well? Of course. And there are exceptions to the coastal clustering of World Cup viewers — especially in Ohio, for reasons we explained last week. But for the most part, soccer is scoring best in markets that are within striking distance of an ocean.

One note: These are are based on Nielsen figures that measure the extent of a game's viewership in particular ESPN household markets. Because each market is different, it's difficult to say how many people are reflected in all.
Also, Univision viewers are not included because the network did not provide household numbers for as many markets as ESPN. But in our look at Univision numbers, we found that its biggest markets also tended to be closer to the coasts.

Why hasn't soccer penetrated the heartland as much as it has the coastal states? It's something to debate as the U.S. starts up against Belgium Tuesday. Share your theories in the comments.
Here are ESPN's the top 56 household markers for the U.S.-Germany game.
1. New York… 9.7
2. San Diego… 8.6
3. Sacramento… 8.3
4. Seattle-Tacoma… 8.1
5. Orlando… 8.1
6. Baltimore… 8.1

13. Boston… 7.1

16. Birmingham… 7.1
17. Kansas City… 7.0
