Front Site Firearms Training

+$50 each year you take a class for the background check

That being said, there are also some folks who tent it or take a camper.

I had thought about doing that when I went, but it woulda been a tad warm that time of year for the camper unless I had a generator to run the AC. Plus being able to head back to the hotel and shower off and not hafta worry about cooking for myself was nice too.

Also, considering my car is about half the cost or a little more to drive them my truck with the camper on it half the lodging costs would have spent on extra fuel, so I didn't see the little bit of savings as worth the extra hassle. And not everyone has an RV/camper

I did bring my own food for lunches everyday though.

I also looked at the fact that to take a 4 days class cost me 3 days off work even though 2 of the days were wknd days since the classes run Fri-Mon. I took the Thurs off before to travel there and the Tues. after to come home. Yeah....I coulda drove up Thurs nite after work and returned Mon. nite after class, but honestly I woulda been WAY to tired to drive the 5 hours home that night. The days of training were very busy and the days were long.

So compare that to a 3 day mid-week class I took within daily commuting distance from home a couple of months later. The class cost $375 (which was roughly the cost of my lodging in NV) and the same 3 days off work. Had it been a weekend class, it woulda only been 1 day off work.

So I'm not baggin' on Front Sight, I might go again sometime. But all things considered the math just didn't add up for me when it came to membership, because with the travel costs I'd be spending the same about money everytime I went as if I just took classes closer to home.

Although for rifle classes, being able to lose the BB and use 30rd mags is nice.

I haven't done it, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it for a first timer.

I'm a big wimp and couldn't imagine not having a hot shower at the end of each night.

Providing some tent like accommodations was my suggestion for making the school more appealing. But thank god we stayed in a hotel all three nights it got dam cold out there. Last night we drove an hour north to Beatty and it was a toasty 9 degrees when we got up to leave Sunday.
