How do you define "progress?" Serious question, not trying to be snarky. Do you mean behind the scenes progress like permitting/contracting/etc? I was on property last week and see no hotel... not to mention other "resort" developments such as RV spots, villas, water sports area, pavilion, etc.
The Phase 3 ranges are awesome however! |

Well they had gotten in the wet utilities last I saw. They also to my knowledge had to do a second well. It all takes time and money. Personally I’m more interested In the lights staying on and classes being held by and range in improvements.
Does anyone even think they could get a room in the hotel if and when it gets built thing will be booked year around. |

Does anyone have the actual size of those steel targets they use on man-on-man, THG or ATHG? Maybe where FS had sourced the targets?
The wife got really enthused shooting steel this past weekend and I want to "buy once and cry once" getting those same targets. .

For you Front Sighters that are needing ammo, Ammo Supply Warehouse in Pahrump has 9mm S&B 124gr at pretty reasonable (given the times) price. Now, I won't post this anywhere else because I want FS students to have ammo for class, not some neckbeard hoarder.
Thanks for the suggestions for the steel targets. I was rummaging in the garage and, believe it or not, I found two 2/3 scale IDPA AR500 targets I had ordered and forgotten. Now, if only I can find a hostage target for cheap...

I feel that. A moment of silence for all the gun people who have bought gear over the years that never gets used: safe queens, ammo/reloading component stockpiles for guns calibers that never get shot, targets that collect dust in the garage, random peripherals like holsters and belts... :: press F to pay respects::

Just sharing....
So, I just got a copy of Ben Stoeger's new book (and very much revised in comparison to his older books) - Practical Shooting Training... https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Sho...dp/B08T43T7KM/ ![]() In the introduction to Level 2, ie., B to A class in USPSA, he introduces his standards (his older books had a very vague set of standards between beginners, novice, intermediate and advanced). It is very interesting to note that the standards mirrors the Handgun Combat Master (HCM) criteria... ![]() Check the Pairs drill below...

If you purchased and converted to a COOP Member, IS FRONT SIGHT NOW A COOP Membership now or are we still waiting for conversion? Are the Knights now Running it? Piazza, Ackman being part of the Knights?
So I understand that the Patronage Points are used to convert the percentage of Ownership based on Patronage Points - Correct? |

That's about what I paid for .40 S&W there last September.

Thank you for posting that updated round count. I have a class next month and my friend was stressing about it. This will help him. The class time should just be reduced to the correct ratio.

I took the 4-day defensive handgun class last fall and actually felt that we did too much shooting. IMHO, going to a reduced round count isn't bad at all.

I wish they’d give the students the option to shoot like before or conserve ammo instead of mandating everyone to conserve. Some of us have been stashing ammo for years just so we can take classes such as these.
If it’s a matter of FS Ammo Bunker not being able to secure enough ammo, I’d rather see that students who brought their own be allowed to go on a high round track or choose to shoot little.

Flying out Sunday for another 4DDHG.
This will be my fourth class at Front Sight in a year since becoming a firearms owner. Finally G'd my third time out there during a 2-day Skill Builder. Hoping to DG this time around! Will be interesting to see how different the class feels with the reduced ammo count.

Looking at the updated round count for FS courses is a HUGE eye opener illustrating just how bad the the ammo supply really is.

Have the skills tests been modified?
Seems like those were 55-ish rounds for HG, which would make the 2 day HG SB less than 200 rounds of actual practice. IMO, less practice will make the Skills Test much harder to "pass." Katie |

I believe they are unchanged. Generally the skills tests for handgun, shotgun and rifle are about 30 rounds + malfunctions.

I only have a week break between quarters right now for grad school, so lower round count or not, it's a way for me to get out of the Bay Area, be out in the desert, in completely different scenery, meet some new people and not have to think about work or school, and fine tune/refine my skills. Once I DG in the handgun class I plan on heading out next time for the 4-day Tactical Shotgun class.
