Your Thoughts On Front Sight Diamond Membership

[Larryect]

Pretty straight forward. You sell initial membership. FS sells upgrade. You are the sales force. New members get offers to upgrade before the ink is dry on their membership materials. Once the Ambassador program is up and running, the price for upgrades will probably go up.

So, if you sell 10 friends, and they sell 10 friends . . . I think you get the point.

I also fits his stated charter of getting as many people to training as possible....

David Rowell does a back-of-the-napkin style estimate about the value of getting someone over to a class. Basically, the sum of running a class (where a number of people rent equipment, but a few things, etc.) nets a profit, assuming the numbers are somewhat correct:

Good article, puts things in perspective. So, is there a profit as FS, and if so, will it be reinvested? Infrastructure, hotel, condos, would that not generate larger profits? Something as simple as lockers for diamond members. How big would that building be?

I have a feeling Front Sight is going to be taking a hit if the ammo shortage keeps up. I was planning on going this year to exercise my diamond membership, but I'm hanging on to my stockpile for awhile until things calm down.

i'd be happy to go to front sight with less crowds. having said that, i don't think it'll make a single dent. people want/need their gun training in the worse way right now. i predict classes will just get more and more packed.

[LCU1670]

Don't forget you can get ammo there or from the guy with the truck. If worried email them and have them hold it for you.

people who get on a plane are understandably concerned about going out there without assurance of ammo. from what i hear from boots on the ground, there is presently no cause for concern.

lots of ammo for class. i don't think they're letting people buy more for their own stash though

[epilepticninja]

Hmmm, maybe I'll will go then. Thanks for the info.

I agree. I think people will "pay to play", just look at some of the prices they are paying now. It will be good to get more people trained anyhow.

With all the classes I have taken, Front Sight has been conservative with their ammo count so that will work to their benefit.

There are 3 sources of ammo at/near Front Sight:

The guy with the truck. That is Ammo Supply Warehouse. He parks at the corner of Tecopa and Blue Diamond Highway in the morning. He's on the web, so you can contact him to reserve if you are nervous.

Stockpile Defense. They have a store at Front Sight next to check in. They are also on the web.

Front Sight Pro Shop. But they are expensive, so only use the above 2 sources unless you are renting. In that case, you have to buy the ammo from the Pro Shop.

You might also check the Walmart in Pahrump. I believe they sell the most ammo of all Walmarts in the world (so I have heard).

Wal-Mart is not as good as it was. When the old guy was there, you could order ammo (by the case) and he would have it behind the counter waiting for you. Last couple of times I tried, they wouldn't take orders anymore. Truck guy is cheapest and you can order and have him hold, same as Stockpile. My problem is my wife needs 5.7, seems to be a shortage of it!

I am interested in buying two Diamond memberships. I bought one last year for $99. Now I want to get one for my wife and son. Please message me if you have two to sell at that or better.
Thank you

Who will pay $100 transfer fee for each?

For a while, you would walk into Walmart before the 4-day classes started and they would have cases and cases of ammo in the aisles waiting for FS students to pick up.
