Any infantry guys take Front Sight classes?

[wilderness medic]

Was it anything new? I imagine their classes in handguns would be greatly beneficial, but what about rifle?

[tomk556]

Not infantry, but I'd say

Front Sight pistol = good, lots to learn and fundamentals to practice.

Front Sight Shotgun = good, lots to learn about running the gun.

Front Sight Rifle = ehhhhh. Rifle is kind of like pistol, but with a rifle and greater distances. Rifle is all static targets and static shooting, mostly at 100 meters. I don't know what my ideal rifle course looks like- probably one on marksmanship and scout rifles and a second on squad movements- but Front Sight leaves a lot to be desired.

I’m really curious how much there would be to gain. I never really thought about it because I considered the military training very beginner and basic but weeks of nothing but firearms training is still probably more than anything they could teach in a two or four day class?

Is their rifle class just ready up drills mag changes and shooting stance?

This is a fairly decent write up on the class: https://www.guns.com/news/review/fro...y-rifle-course

Your suspicion of ready ups, running the gun, and some basic marksmanship is about right. Most of the shooting is at least than 100 meters. If you can sight in an M4, run it, and are decently proficient with marksmanship you're not going to get much from the class.

Nobody spends thousands of dollars to go to F.S. PM me if you're interested in a lifetime membership.

So frontsight teaches weaver- Impossible with plate carrier.

Its OK to shoot isosceles but they don't coach that well.....

Weaver also exposed your side due to bladed stance. The place that is not armored


but yes, military folks do show up

The rifle class is not difficult but worth it to really run the rifle. Running under time is a good stressor.
My issue with the class is that my back is trashed half way through. Going prone under time was painful. My chiropractor appreciates the business. Worth doing the class though.

Seems like a pyramid scheme when I talked to someone who had a booth at Phoenix gun show in December.

Hard sell , like a used car salesman approach.

Was thinking of attention frontsight given close proximity of LV to SoCal, then I read about it's timeshare like marketing scheme and questionable connection with Scientology... So guess I will look elsewhere

For the $100-150 you would spend it would be some of the best money spent. When on site they are very professional and well run. They talk very little about memberships when there. Well worth the money even if you only go once.

The first day in boot camp covers it all:

There's the civilian way and there's the service way.

Have you actually served in a combat arms MOS in the military? Just curious.

[BillyGoatCrawler]

Your unit never do any movement drills? Blank and live fire exercise at fire team, squad, and platoon level? CQB/MOUT? Casualty recovery? Exiting/recovering disabled vehicle? There was much more than ready ups and mag changes that we did.

Originally it was supposed to be a master planned community. Like a whole neighborhood made up of gun owners. A nice idea that didn't gain much traction. At some point it sort of became a multi-level marketing setup, like Shak-lee.
