For those of us NOT on Facebook....

What does it say?

I took many classes with Craig over the years. Outstanding instructor...

Years ago when my wife was feeling a bit overwhelmed during a class, Craig told her that the next time an instructor approached her, she could just say: "I'm as good as I want to be right now..", and they would leave her alone.....for a little while at least

looking at the profile, I don't see any posts about Bishop being gone.
what am I missing here.
I remember seeing Craig Bishop out on property, I was still just a student at the time but always heard good things about his teaching style.
By the time I joined the staff he had left and come out as Crissie, never had her in a class though.
Hope she's okay.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had a meeting with the Bobs this morning.

Jedi,
best laugh of the morning. Thanks for that. I guess they just fixed the glitch at FS.....

Jedi, BTW, with FS gone, I believe so does your NDA with regards to training. Any tidbits you want to drop on your friends..

glad you got the reference and had a good laugh.
I made a reference to the movie recently and someone looked at me like I was speaking martian.
darn Millennials.

I believe that will be gone as soon as they finalize this purchase.
I'm always happy to share tips / advice with fellow shooters and once FS is officially gone, ask away. I'd be happy to answer any questions I can.

one interesting tidbit (and I saw it mentioned in one of the FS FaceSpace groups)

Instructors are receiving offer letters from PF. It's basically stating they'd like to retain them and are asking the instructors to respond back by a certain deadline if they're interested.
I know lots of great staff members have left recently but I hope the guys that still want the opportunity will be given a chance. As with most jobs there'll be a probationary period for them to evaluate them.

should be interesting to see how this plays out.

I guess we'll see what the 2 yrs free actually means. Will it be actual training or just a day at the range?

Looks like the Bankruptcy Court has formally approved the sale to PrairieFire.

Order entered today, sale will be effective December 1, 2022

Yup, seems like that's a wrap for FS.

So what do we rename this thread to now?
Thinking Front Sight Alumni or something like that.

Anyone planning on going to PF next year?

[LV_G22]

I will definitely shoot at PF next year.

Have been shooting at FS for the past 20 years, and live under 1 hour away.

I am glad that "Gun People" came in to replace Front Sight rather than the land/ranges lay dormant or some developer take the property.

They are putting in upwards pf $25-$30 Million in capital for this deal.

My initial take is that they may be a bit too competition focused for my taste, but I will give them the full benefit of the doubt to SHOW ME what their vision is and I will definitely TRY their classes in 2023.

Their literature shows some dollar figures for future upscale memberships, but it appears to me that they have made it so that existing/previous Front Sight members will be able to try out classes for the next 2 years for modest fees. They are not requiring any big payments up front to go out there and shoot.

It will certainly cost more than a "free FS class", but less than a Gunsite Class (and I have taken 3 of those in the past year and a half).

Each of us will certainly make our own analysis and choices - I do NOT wish to persuade anyone or argue, nor do I wish the opposite.....

Sadly, if the sale goes through tomorrow...

Then there is the "Clean up in Aisle 3" - meaning January 9th, 2023 of Greatly reducing Claims and/or disallowing many Members and Claims. It is all Procedural at this point. It's like a variation of the Titanic, only this time we saved the Ship and Not the People.

In retrospect, and with the 20/20 hindsight, it would have been smart to give up can get paid by FS when this all started to go down earlier in the year. Those folks that got paid and kicked out, at least got their money back, so to speak.
