Front Sight Members Check In Here!
I have created a NEW Front Sight Members Check-In Here thread to take the place of this original thread that has lasted 10 years and you can find it here:
NEW Front Sight Members Check In-Here https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/....php?t=1772437 This original thread has gotten too large and buggy causing multiple posts and slowdowns. ***Mods please lockdown this thread for future posting so that everyone will use the New Thread in its place and we can still refer to this old thread for historical reference.*** Also, there is a new poll! Thanks, everyone for your support. Hopefully, the NEW thread will last as long as this original even with the latest Front Sight restructuring drama.

Hi,
Im a fs diamond member. I have not had a chance to make it out there yet. It would be good to coordinate a trip and possibly rent a house for the week. I have found a few searching the web. I purchased several more AKD memberships new years eve after a few too many...scared I would miss out if it truly is the final offer. |

Membership Date: March 2011 Courses Taken: 4DDH 3 times (Graduate) 4DTS (Distinguished Graduate) Next Course: 4DDH with son (30 March 2012) Comments: I love this place. I am not advanced enough to tell if FS is good for advanced students, but I can tell you that a lot of the people who I see there think that they are advanced, but find out that they are not. One guy last time thought he was all that and a bag of chips, but could not clear a malfunction to save his life. I need to find a way to pick up 7 points (twice I lost 20 points and you can only lose 13 and DG) so I can DG and try out the advanced class. I hope we can arrange a CalGuns trip. That would be a lot of fun. I also bought a few Diamonds since they might actually be a thing of the past.

However, I'm milking as much out of the membership as I can and so far, I have no complaints. I can't comment on how it compares with other programs but the price is right. |

I would think that many/most people that attend these have memberships, and thus never pay (extra) for the $2000[sure...] courses. There are still diamonds available, for $250. How long FS can sustain this is a mystery to me, but it doesn't seem sustainable to me. I'll be going to the 4-day def. handgun course soon. |

If anyone in the SD or So Cal area would like to plan a road trip, I would love to participate. Splitting the cost of gas and having someone in the car for the 6+ hour drive would be nice.

would anyone be interested in a Google Calendar of Front Sight 2012 Courses
|
#17
|

|

Let me know what ya'll think about this
https://www.google.com/calendar/embe...ca/Los_Angeles I can probably set it up for letting people add themselves to the schedule, as an appointment for a class, not sure if thats possible without sharing it with specific persons though. if its missing any class, please let me know i finished it a while back when i noticed the calendar was posted on their site. it may very well have changed since then |

That'd be killer. Would probably make planning group trips and carpooling much easier. Perhaps there is some kind of shared calendar function that the forum could make available for this purpose...

Google is too powerfull. I opened your calander and it was in Portugeuse. How does it know where I am and change the language?
Time for the tin foil hat.

Membership Date: August 2008 Courses Taken: 4DDH (Graduate), 2-Day Handgun Skill Builder (Graduate), Advanced Tactical Handgun Next Course: 2 day Skill Builder, 2-day Shotgun Comments: To those that have never gone yet but plan to stay in Pahrump when taking a class, make sure that you make your reservations at a hotel as soon as you plan to schedule classes. Remember, the Best Western will allow you to cancel a room up to 24 hours from the date of your arrival so you can make a reservation even when you thinking about scheduling your classes. dave3223 Quote:

To answer your question... yes, you do have to DG to take Advanced Tactical NOW (in 2012). Before (in 2011 and before), you could take the class with only Graduate. Good luck trying, but you may find that they will not allow you to take the class when you arrive. dave3223 |

Me and my brother were in the 4DDH class in those videos. The class stared on dec 19th 2011. We were on range A and also rifle range 10. It was so much fun and a great learning experience. All the instructors were great people and extremely helpful. Me and my brother both got graduate in the course. I'm not sure how many points I got, but on paper I only got 9 points deducted (lost focus for three shots). I am interested in learning about getting a membership if possible. Any info will help. Thanks

Just finished the 3rd day of their Def Handgun course. Looking fwd to tomorrow.
NOT relishing the drive home (have a 24 hr shift starting 0800 on Friday in SF). I'm going through their recommended amounts of ammo as I've been shooting with both groups whenever someone else decides to take a break. Drink LOTS of water, guys. Even with the cool weather, it's easy to get dehydrated.

Diamond Membership as well as my Daughter. I am not sure how long they will stay in buisness, but going to take advantage of it while I can. I also have Diamond memberships available. If you haven't gone it is worth the trip.
We have gone several times. 4DDH (twice) (Graduate) 2DH Skill builder twice (Graduate and DG) AdvTactical. I was told as long as you took either the 2DDH of 4DDH plus a skill builder you could take the Adv Tactical class. That was what I did last year, before I DG. They have you shoot the test before starting the class. As long as you showed proficency, they let you continue. |

I took the class last week and that's what they do. Some students were really questionable with their shooting. The instructors deliberated for 5-10 min. They let them through because everyone was safe and the shooting could be worked on.

If I'm current diamond could I buy a diamond Alaska and upgrade?

Membership Date: March 2011 Courses Taken: None at the moment. I hope to make at least one trip this year but I just took a new job and I will most likely be worked like a 2 dollar whore for years to come . Does anyone know what their initial inspection of your equipment entails? Do they have issues with trigger jobs and such?

The inspection simply involves several dry fires of your weapon to see how smooth the trigger is. Yes, I have had a trigger job on one of my guns that I frequently use at Frontsight and I have not had any major issues. Yes, the person conducting the inspection had acknowledged that they saw that I had a trigger job, but they never had a problem with it. Hope this helps you. If you can't get to a 4-day class, try a 2-day class instead as this may work better for your schedule. dave3223 |
