    Been to FS like 6 times. Enjoyed it a lot. Except the last time. Took the Advance Tactical Handgun course .. One of the instructors berated some of so and we just left part way the first day Haven't been back since. Thought with Covid going away going back to FS was in my future. But with all the scams Iggy has done and now this, probably not. Taking a OSPEC class next month in CA with some Sig instructors including, Bruce Gray. Pricey for sure. But I can drive to the site every day just like staying in LV and driving to FS. But don't have the travel top and back home, days off from work and all that LV expenses. Hope this whole thing works out and we can go back to FS again and enjoy what we all have experienced in the past. Except the hundred emails a day asking for money.
    Wow, that was one of the best parts of FS. The Staff was always professional and informative.

    Either the staff have been replaced with lower quality persons or PF is having a instructor problem.

      Hard to believe FS is coming to an end! Thinking of all the years going there. It was a tradition in our family. How events were booked around going there, vacation days, meeting friends there and meeting new friends too. Budgeting for the trips.

        Prairie Fire hasn't brought on their Staff yet. You won't see it until January 2023.

          Okay, too bad someone had a bad experience with an instructor.

          I won't ever see PF staff.....unfortunately Dr. P screwed that up for me.

            I will miss FS as well. My son and I decided to take one more class as a final salute to the many good times we have experienced together. Looking forward to laying in the dirt one last time for a Precision Rifle skill builder.

                Yes, there's still a few happening. I was there a couple weeks ago. Honestly it's the best time ever to be there. The only staff left is pretty diehard and putting on excellent classes as usual. Class sizes are very small. I did 2D PRSB and there were 4 students total. All the students were diehards as well and there were no clowns, all excellent shooters and safety was a non-issue the entire time. Lots of instructor attention and help improving.

                There's also a strong air of nostalgia there, all the students and instructors know that it's near the very end and there's some extra camaraderie among everyone there.

                  Well just for an update on the Front Sight issue. The Lawyer for the Unsecured Committee Objected to Dr. Piazza extracting $41,000,000. from 2012-2020.

                  Yeah I think we could have done something better with the Money.

                    Yeah, that's serious change. Major issue.
                    There are some people that it's just not worth engaging.

                    It's a muzzle BRAKE, not a muzzle break. Or is your muzzle tired?

                      Glad to hear that.
                      My wife and I took our very first private in June and the place was a ghost town. Best training we ever had in our lives.

                          No. The phone call was cancelled and AP & attorneys changed the deposition to be "confidential" and only accessible to attorney (and sealed).

                            I was on there too, eager to hear Iggy weasel his way through.
