*NEW* Front Sight Members Check-In Here!

[eaglemike]

Do not feed the trolls and hopefully, they will go away.
Do not get baited in a back and forth response which just dissolves into personal attacks.
The old thread got visited with the same type of bitter users and their same
age-old agenda so opening up another thread will probably be the same.

We need to take back this thread with constructive posts and how to best move forward. Whether you stay or decide to go, we are all adults and know what is best for us and no one should disparage your decision.

Front Sight has always been a marketing drama. For those of us who have been there, we all know the training is good, the staff is great and for those of us who have taken training elsewhere, we know that there is no other place quite like it.

my two centavos...

Well said.
Disparaging or attacking those that don't agree with one's position only creates division and animosity.

He must be one tough SOB. Like being named Sue!

4 day rifle on 3/25, hoping to be joined with about 6 other friends. 3 are only doing 2 days but none of them have taken the rifle course yet so it should be fun.
Right now I'm just trying to get them all squared away on gear.

[Jedi54]

Hilary is the man. I'm 6'5 and I still feel small standing next to him.

You know how when you go through the shoot house on Day 3 (spoiler alert!) The instructor hooks a caribener to the back of you?
Well, Funny story about that. I happened to be walking past a shoot house where staff was doing training and I literally watched an instructor hook a caribener to Hilary who then proceeded to literally DRAG the instructor through the shoot house.
The poor instructor (who had just been hired) was learning how to take students through the exercise and Hilary was demonstrating to him that you have to be prepared for virtually anything because you never know what the student will do in that scenario.

Ha! That’s pretty darn funny!

I had Hilary and Sgt. Major for a handgun skill builder and those two were constantly busting each other’s chops. I remember Hilary saying something about Sgt. Major being so short he could parachute off the edge of a nickel.

[Jedi54]

LMAO
That's such a Hilary-ism

Can that class be reasonable to succeed with a bolt rifle? On the web site they recommend this instead of the Practical Rifle class I think.

I took Marksman with a bolt gun and it was appropriate. About half my class were bolts, the other half tricked out ARs. Box mag helps will faster loading, but I did fine with my internal mag. I was next to two muzzle brakers. I wish they didn't allow brakes. I was doubled up on ear pro and my tinnitus is worse.

That sucks, and a great reminder for me to spend some money on custom ear plugs. I always double up indoors, but shorter barrels and brakes can be rough whether indoors or outside.

[TeamAllen]

Sorry Citizen_B. I am one of those muzzle brake users.

tanks... What cartridge are you thinking in your bolt action rifle?

The issue is not that "Front Sight has always been a marketing drama" the issue is it has always been a fraud.

I can see only one honest sustainable way forward. DR charlatan needs to go.

After that there are many ways forward. An outside buyer could be found. The current membership could form a corporation and buy Front Sight from the bankruptcy court. Other options I haven't even thought of.

Of course you can always support and continue the fraud.

[Sam1234]

Just a thought, if 25,000 members were willing to put up $1000.00 each that would come to $25,000,000.00. no one really knows at this point if that would be enough, but it serious money with lots of bargaining power.

[Spartan301]

Awesome!

Got to shoot my DPMS "Kitty Kat" 7.5" AR-15 last year in a Private class.

Hitting steel, kneeling at 100 yards......good fun!

It has a SERIOUS Bark!

[dustyy]

It's official, it was just more bullshi*. This whole thing was just another scheme to get money. Going forward there will be 2 paths. Today's email:

Has anyone found a way to see these emails on the website? I still don't get them.

[Citizen_B]

He only posts some of his emails on the website. I'm guessing he'll put the yet to be released "Two Options" email on the website when it's sent. Someone will post it here I'm sure.
