*NEW* Front Sight Members Check-In Here!

[Jedi54]

I'd imagine at this point there's no real reason for the court Not to approve this. Under it's current structure the business was insolvent and this is probably the better route to go versus liquidating what was left to attempt to repay the creditors.

[Jedi54]

That being said, it is sad to see Front Sight go away. I've been attending courses there for almost 10 years now and the lessons learned and friendships made on the gravel with the staff and fellow students is something I shall always cherish .

The last 5 years I had the opportunity to be an Instructor at FS and can honestly say it was one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done in my professional career. From shooting courses with fellow calgunners to Instructing some of their classes, it was always a pleasure to meet some of you and to give back to the 2A community through a facility like Front Sight.
I am proud of the time I spent there teaching students and that is what I will remember most about Front Sight. I feel a bit sad if I'm being honest knowing I've worn that uniform for the last time but I am grateful for the thousands of students I and we as a staff had the opportunity to work with.

Hopefully the new owners can build upon what Front Sight started and take this facility to then next level!
Maybe I'll even still see a few of you out there in a class as we enjoy our 2 years of reduced fees.

Jedi, you're an instructor?

I'm considering being a Nevada member, but the wife is vehemently against the idea.

[Jedi54]

yeah, I'd never mentioned it here publicly before though I had dropped a few small hints here and there over the years though.
Figure at this point, it was okay to share.

Since your former employer is almost kaput, it won't be long before you can share any scuttlebutt secrets with us all. Whos going to sue you, Frontsight?

[Spartan301]

I agree......

I've been going to FS since 2000. I agree, some of my best memories are on those ranges.

One of the best things there was the staff and Instructors.....

I thank them all for the knowledge and skills I've learned.

Well, to be fair. He would have more training....but too busy Fact Checking!

You can expect that Front Sight to be purchased for $19+ Million by Prairie Fire.
No-one else will be paying anymore than that and they have plans for up to 1,000 RV Spots, No Hotel or Casino. Time Share Villa Condos in the way distant future. Reconfigured Ranges on some for Competitions. Sintered Ammunition proposed using on the Ranges. Many things I am not at Liberty to say at this point. Expect it to Happen No later than January 1st, 2023 because they want all this through Bankruptcy to be reconciled September 30th, November 18th, and December 1st dates for various actions. Expect it - Plan on it.

I always wondered if you were an instructor based on your past replies.

[Vinnie Boombatz]

Well I’ll add, for someone that purchased their first pistol two years ago, Vinnie has come a long way!

I appreciate that.

I actually loved going to FS. Sure, I am a PITA around here, but I do take my training seriously. I learned so much in the short time I was able to go to FS, and still took every available opportunity I had to get out there, which was t easy because I was also going to grad school and working full-time simultaneously. I remember a few times trying to get a decent wi-do signal while out there so I could hand in assignments on-time, and may have even called in sick once or twice at work in order to attend. I did end up getting suckered into a Knight Membership for $1,995, but still think it was worth it. Earlier this year I invited 8 buddies and we all went out for a 4-day private. Everyone had such an amazing time and still talk about that trip. I also got to see some friends I hadn’t seen in person in almost 10 years! So the cost of the Knight membership along with the $150 I paid for my Commander membership initially, I absolutely got my money’s worth.

Others can poo-poo the classes and instruction but in the short time I’ve been pursuing this hobby I’ve take only a few classes elsewhere. But I can still say they 4DDHG is such a fantastic class. The curriculum and way the information is presented is second to none, and I credit that class (and taking it several times) for allowing me to go to other facilities and take slightly more advanced classes. On two occasions while in a class at other organizations I was commended by the instructors for having a solid foundation and fundamentals. That really meant a lot to me.

Another unintended benefit of going to FS was being exposed to others at that time I probably would have interacted with on a daily basis since I live in liberal Oakland. As a result I slowly began hearing different opinions on things and that resulted in a dramatic change of my political opinions and views.

[Vinnie Boombatz]

I had a private booked for the end of this month and just cancelled it. Was told that I could wait to pay in person on the first day of the class, or pay now in advance. They recommended I pay now because the fee structure may change with increased fees between now and then, so I just told them to cancel it.
