front sight training

What "big name guy" has drawbacks, in your opinion?







The 180 rule applies to competition, not necessarily to defensive training. We live in a 360 degree world, hopefully you've had some training that shows you how to move uprange with a firearm safely.



I'm glad you feel you got value from Front Sight.

The point with the big name guys is people will go on and on about how Tacticool something are or mall ninja instead of civilian home or Ccw defense. Google Costa and all you'll see is all this garbage about him being a Coastie. That doesn't keep me from wanting to hit a class by him. Now my wallet won't let me hit it up as that's the price of three local classes or quite a few FS trips. I do some research in various ways of these places and most have something to offer. When I can afford I'll hit up the bigger names.

Yes I can move around the range safely. And I don't think you're thinking white the same as me on the 180. I was talking about American Defense Enterprises. Hard to find the videos because they pulled them after being mocked so bad but they are out there if you have good enough Google Fu. Multiple stupid things I've seen. But the signature one is this drill they developed and tout where one guy stands in front of the other. The guy in front drops backward to the ground while drawing and the guy inches behind him is drawing at the same time and the both shoot the target 3 yards ahead. No practical application and if it continues somebody is going to end up shot in the head.

That's the kind of crap I'll turn people away from. Not only impractical but unsafe training. Who cares about ISO versus Weaver. Again I'm not a Weaver guy. But it has its place and it's real natural for some people. Personally I think good training is helping the person find which one works best for them and developing on that.

I've been to stuff that is not very thorough on things but still got something from it.

Being better than average then I would like more from FS but I think it's great for beginners and I also think it's great for good shooters who haven't had professional instruction. They will come away knowing defensive shooting and be able to do reloads and malfunctions like nobody's business. Then they can move on to other guys for some better shooting on the move instruction.
