    Scott, I know you're better than this.

    But the only "way" I offered up was the video by the Army SF combat veteran you're looking to train with this year.

    When you have 1 source of training it's easy to get emotionally invested in that training or school/instructor. When you've trained with dozens of guys/schools, then you don't have any emotional attachment and you pick and choose what you think is best.

      got bored and looked at my course history.

      as a student I've taken 25 classes for a total of 72 days of Instruction at FS. I know that's no where near some of you guys but what's everyone else got. (just out of sheer curiosity)

          I have no emotional investment in any particular place or any particular instructor. Heck, I took my 16-hour CCW class a few weeks ago and inadvertently picked up some new things I am now incorporating into my own practice that fly in the face of some stuff Front Sight teaches.

          For everything a particular school instructor emphasizes you can probably find another place that says something to the contrary and may have some validation behind it. There isn’t a one size fits all approach. I just take what I like from each experience and incorporate it into my own routine. But attending several Front Sight classes doesn’t mean someone is emotionally attached to their way or believe that that’s the only way to do something.

            My records show similar 28 "classes" for a total of 80 days...however my records only go back to March 2013. I put classes in quotes as 2D HCMP isn't really a class... No clue why. My first class was back in Bakersfield, CA in about '96. There should be at least a couple 4 days per year from about 2009 through 2013 that don't show now.

                      In case you are trying to drive back to Pahrump from FS, there is a huge flood on Hwy 160 at the Spring Mountain curve blocking the highway.

                            Mid to late october is usually nice weather but it's the desert so you never really know.

                              Ive been out there in October where the temps dropped to the low-mid 30's, we had a dust storm on Day 3 and on day 4 they had to get rid of the concealment garment requirement for the test because the wind was so strong that nobody could open their concealment garment and they said it was a safety issue. The wind also made it hard to hear range commands.

                                My Oct trip (only did it once) was typical desert. Freezing in the AM. One day it poured in the afternoon, then burning up once the rain was gone. Expect the unexpected.
