Where did you see them?

I wore my pistol the very first time I took the rifle class. They welcome it as long as you have taken the pistol course and it stays unloaded. Wear your pistol all day like you normally do, but you're in a rifle class. If you wear a pistol all the time, it's good to learn to work around it!

I always recommend all students do the same. You will get to a point where you train for transitioning from one weapon to the other.

For instance, up close, it's easier to draw a pistol and take your shot. As you move further away in distance, the difficulty of aimng w/ a pistol past 25 yds (takes too much time /reduced accuracy) makes it easier to go to work with the rifle.

During one private class we took with Will Wills, he had us run rental pistols dry, and as soon as we had no more ammo/mags for them, we threw them in the rocks (literally) and went immediately to rifle.

Don't limit your options or learning experience!

Haha. Were they all tacticaled out? Camo from head to toe ... How did they shoot? Got DG?

Have you taken any advanced classes yet? You don't have to be Mr. Camo Tacticool to learn & have fun.

For reference, I DG'd handgun my first time, rifle my first time, shotgun my second time.

And I HATE camo!

[QUOTE=damon1272;22266131. One guy with a Desert Tech had to have the armorer open up the gas port of his rifle to get it to run. Sweet gun....[/QUOTE]

The MDR isn't ready for the big time yet. Mine used to rip rims and leave stuck cases in the chamber. I couldn't make a single range trip without needed to use a cleaning rod to knock out stuck brass. Needless to say, it got sold ASAP.

Hopefully they get all that sorted because it really is a sweeeet gun and I want another one!

Yes, I have. I'm enrolled in Tactical and Advanced Tactical HG in December and February. I used to take Advanced Tactical Rifle until FS stopped having it. See my posts somewhere else in this thread.

I have taken classes from other schools where we do rifle to HG transitions. I can see the need to have a handgun in those rifle classes, but having an unloaded handgun on you for Front Sight's basic Practical Rifle is unnecessary in my mind.

Going out 11/9-11/12 for a 4ddhg. This time it’s my 15yo daughters first pistol class along with two other first time teenage girls. Twelve in our group. Going to be a fun day weekend. I’ll be shooting support side with a 45acp to mix it up.

[beanz2]

Sounds like fun, David! I wish my daughter would go with us too, but she has zero interest. Have a great time!

Did you hear anything more about that?

Edit: Found it on FS's website: https://www.frontsight.com/courses/r...training-4.asp

looks like it could be a fun class. maybe I'll take it Feb/March.

already booked for Tactical Scenarios (airsoft class) Dec 5-6 and the big daddy 4 Day Four Weapon Tactical class in January.

Anyone else get the letter today regarding troubles brewing at Frontsight? I’ll be there 11-9 to 11-12 for 4 dayDHG class as well. We need a fourth to make our group even. Anyone odd numbered as well?

[damon1272]

Got the letter and trashed it. Same thing as in his emails.

Yeah I went in for $100 to get the credits for background checks and have a few basic memberships to get some friends to go with. I'm heading to the Marksmanship class in late February, pretty excited for that with a 6.5CM. Should have a big group of coworkers and maybe some family headed.

Selling memberships

Question for everyone, How do you find people interested in buying your memberships when we're not allowed to advertise them? I know it seems basic (offer to friends and family) but I don't seem to be selling it well enough (or i'm over pricing them) and being met with very little success. What are your thoughts/advice?

[damon1272]

I hav e not been selling them. I give them away to people that are interested. Granted they are low level memberships. Most of the time it is word of mouth.

It'll be fun to watch people in the prone on the cold ground in Feb.

Haha!. Made the mistake of going out this February. The high was 32* for the two days I was there.
