F. Perfect for Military Personnel

Front Sight’s curriculum provides training that is far beyond what you will receive in any branch of the military. We know this to be true because many of Front Sight’s instructors come to us from the various branches of the military. We could go into great detail here explaining why we are able to deliver a higher level of training, in a more efficient manner, and in a more positive learning environment than the US Government. Instead, we will let some of America’s warriors tell you what they think about Front Sight’s training.

“Without question, Front Sight covers more ground than any other comparable course—civilian, military, or law enforcement. The level of proficiency that the average students attain far exceeds the standards expected of military professionals. The material covered and proficiency levels achieved at Front Sight surpasses anything I experienced in over 20 years of military service.”
Tim Lynch, Retired Marine Officer

“I graduated from West Point and was commissioned as an Infantry officer in 1988. I graduated from the US Army Ranger School and am a combat veteran, having served with the 7th Infantry during Operation Just Cause in Panama. As a civilian, I am an NRA instructor of Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun, and Personal Protection. I shoot weekly at a local pistol league. In other words, I thought I knew my stuff when I showed up last week at Front Sight for their one day submachine gun and two day defensive handgun courses. In just three days of training at Front Sight, I learned more than I would have imagined possible! I had no idea that I still had so much room to grow. This is the best training I have ever had, bar none -- and it was fun!”
Andrew Juknelis, Director of Operations, Curon Medical, Inc.

“Without a doubt, Front Sight is the most professional and well put together organization I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The facility (even though still under construction) is impeccable. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and make the experience enjoyable.”
Peter Nolan, USMC

“The course of instruction at Front Sight is excellent. The staff is very professional. I learned a surprising amount of information about handling a submachine gun. A great experience!”
Doug Woolley, Army Officer

“For five years my issued weapon was a M3A1 Grease Gun (.45ACP submachine gun). I learned more about shooting a submachine gun in one day at Front Sight than I did in five years of military experience. Front Sight is the best training I have ever had, period!”
Lyle Hayes, Aircraft Maintenance Technician

“If you want a consistent product, Front Sight will provide it for you. Front Sight is the industry standard.”
Joseph Ponczck, Army Infantry Sergeant

“Suffice it to say that I have been to Gunsite, LFI, HK, and OPS and I always come back to Front Sight.”
John F. Moran, Captain, US Army

“If you have attended some of the ‘old’ schools, you need to go to Front Sight. There are a lot of proficient shooters in the industry, but not all are professional instructors. Front Sight is the home of the professional instructors with the best facilities around.”
Edwin Lowrey, US Special Forces, Retired

“I thought I knew what I was doing. After attending the Four Day Handgun course, I now know what I did not know... and I learned and improved a ton! Excellent instruction. The personnel and training techniques are top notch. I will go back for more training.”
Bryon R. Benz, Captain, US Army

“As a lifetime shooter, I came to Front Sight expecting to learn. I had no idea how much I did not know. Front Sight’s training experience is unmatched.”
Kenneth M. "Mack" Elliott, Jr., Retired Naval Officer

“Very professional instructors. They are very approachable, incredibly knowledgeable, polite, and humorous. Without a doubt, the best instructors I have ever encountered.”
Richard Kutschman, US Naval Officer

“Come here and find out for yourself what a great organization Front Sight is.”
John M. Capps, Major, USMC

“Front Sight exceeds all other schools I’ve had -- both while in the USMC and as a civilian in the protective agent role. I have never seen a school with such professionalism and purpose. Your dedication to your duties in training each and every student is matched by no others.”
Ryan Foulkner, Executive Protection Agent

“Fantastic experience! Front Sight’s submachine gun course was better instruction than the ‘fam fires’ I’ve done in my 13 years in the Navy. I had loads of fun and received fantastic training. My skills improved 200% with this one day course. Just do it.”
Jeff Caulk, Naval Flight Officer

“As a 14 year veteran of the US Army Special Forces, I have never been to a better school on the use of handguns. It was so great to learn from instructors who are not only good teachers, but who can also perform the tasks on demand. One of the things that impressed me most was how well rounded the class was. We were taught safe gun handling... marksmanship skills... legal and moral aspects of owning and using firearms... and what needs to be done to preserve our firearm freedoms. We were taught what every firearm owner or user should know—not only for defense, but also for hunting, competition, plinking, and fun. The lectures on what to do if you should ever have to use a firearm for defense are the best I have ever taken, seen, or read about. They alone are worth the price of the course. I can not recommend Front Sight enough.”
SSG, Dale R. Mohr

“The Four Day Practical Rifle course was outstanding! The best firearms training I have ever had. About the same time I attended Front Sight, my brother-in-law just finished Army Basic Training. Several weeks later, he and I had the opportunity to compare our training and have a shoot-off. My brother-in-law concluded that I received far better training and more advanced tactical training in four days at Front Sight than he did after 14 weeks of Army Basic Training with the M-16. I consistently outshot him with my AR15 at 200 and 300 yards! Thank you Front Sight! I will be back.”
Jason Griffith, Commercial Real Estate Agent

“Front Sight broadened my views about submachine guns and more. I just finished five years in the Marine Corps and I learned something new, today, at Front Sight.”
Robert Herrera

“Everything was First Class!”
Ellwyn L. Laxson, Retired Fighter Pilot

“Very professional, yet fun loving instructional staff. I was especially pleased to meet Dr. Piazza and see him taking the time to help instruct in the class.”
Dewey Winstead, USAF Medical Technician

“The excellent instruction I received today exceeds all the weapons training I experienced in 24 years of active military service. I salute Dr. Piazza and the Front Sight staff.”
Lt. Colonel Charles S. McDonald, USAF

“As an OIC (Officer in Charge) of a Naval Reserve Fleet Hospital Detachment, I am confident that should I be recalled to active duty and need to handle a weapon, I could do so with the confidence and solid foundation built by Front Sight. You guys are head and shoulders above the industry standard. Thank you for awakening me!”
Beatrice Harrold, Captain, US Naval Reserves
