Don’t hesitate to enroll now it couldn’t be soon enough. Thanks again Front Sight! |

I have been involved with firearms for over 35 years. I have been to numerous classes and training facilities, I even instruct new shooters. I figured that there wasn’t anything more someone else could teach me that I already didn’t know. A friend gave me a Blue Certificate almost two years ago to attend a course. I never went because I was skeptical of Front Sight. Earlier this year, my good friend passed away and as a tribute to him, some of his other friends and me went to Front Sight for the Four Day Practical Rifle Course.

| Rick Godinez |
| Front Sight opened my eyes to the rights that we need to preserve. I learned more in the two days I spent here than I ever could have on my own in a lifetime. I am more confident with my skills and I am confident that I can protect myself and my family should that time ever arise. |

| James E. Morse, DDS |

It is intense, busy, and fast paced – no sleeping thru it. I would recommend the 2 day for someone with little experience with a handgun. The 4 day is better suited for those with more range time, but be prepared to unlearn some bad habits! There are a variety of handguns available (with all necessary equipment) for rental for the courses. Of course, you can take your own also. I highly recommend Front Sight, as I would recommend everyone furthering their education with handguns. Would I take the course again? We are already planning on it, as well as for our … (click for more) |

In the fall of 2002 I was awed by the speed and profficiency of my classmates who four days later were distinguished graduates(4 day defensive handgun). I remember wondering how many years and classes it would take me to possibly ever be that fast and profficient. (answer) One year and three classes, in 2003 I took two 2 day defensive handgun classes and in September I distinguished myself in the 4 day. More than just an ego boost, you guys have given me tools and skills crucial to my workday. From one law enforcement professional to a school of professionals, thank you … (click for more) |

I just took the 2-day handgun class. I have to say it was the best thing I ever did. I have never held a gun in my life, but my instructors and my range master went through everything step by step. I am now interested in taking more classes and continuing my education in handgun training. Everyone at Front Sight are very professional and highly trained. They just make u feel so at ease that the nerves disappeared. I would recommend Front Sight to everyone and anyone who is interested in protecting themselves and their loved ones. It was the BEST. |

I attended the 4 day Tactical Shotgun Course and was very impressed. As a firearms instructor myself, I was very pleased with the curriculum, presentation and professionalism of the instructors. I have attended numerous courses over the years both as a student and instructor. The staff at Front Sight is second to none. I have refered my own students to Front Sight for further training. Anyone wishing to improve their skill at arms will be more than happy with the training they will recieve. |

Served as an Arson investigator for my Department for 5 years. I have attended a dozen gun safety courses and regional police academy.

The instructors are top and the motivation and encouragement can not be matched anywhere. I am humbled by the exceptional work being accomplished at Frontsight. These guys are going to shift the popular vote regarding gun ownership within this country in the next decade! |

I attended my first course at Front Sight in June 1994. I’d heard about Front Sight and it sounded like something I’d enjoy. During that first course I quickly came to appreciate the professionalism and expertise of the instructors and staff at Front Sight. After the first day I was hooked and purchased a membership. The next month I brought my wife to Front Sight and after one day she too became a member. Since then we have taken several courses and introduced our friends and family to Front Sight. We love spending time and learning together. Not only has Front Sight improved … (click for more) |

I attended the 4-day Defensive Handgun. I have taken training courses over the years – NONE compare to the professionalism and methodology of Front Sight. My skills have vastly improved and I am a believer in Front Sights’ program and staff. If you choose to protect yourself or your family with a firearm – You MUST attend classes at Front Sight. |

When I came to Frontsight I was was blown away at the level of professionalism, consistancy, personability and enthusiasm each and every instructor had. I learned more at Frontsight by attending one four day defensive handgun course than I learned over my entire life of shooting. My daughter attended the four day youth course and learned so much and had so much fun that she keeps asking to go back to Frontsight for more. |

| John C. Roach, Police Detective |

With 25 years in the LAPD and numerous tactical and survival schools attended with FBI and various other task force agency’s, I did not believe that I could learn any new skills from Ffront Sight. I was dead wrong! This training took me to the next level. I had not possessed this speed and readiness prior to this four-day course!! |

I attended the 4-day Practical Rifle Course and left for Iraq the next day. This was the best training I have received in 6+ years in the military. Thank you for the outstanding training that could save my life! ‘Condition yellow – always! |

| Heidi Torkelsen |

I was strongly encouraged by a co-worker of mine to get involved with Front Sight as it could save my life one day. I live alone in a high crime area in Northern California and feel that knowing how to protect myself is so much better than wishing I knew how and it’s too late. To share a quote a friend told me: “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6″. I had more fun at Front Sight than I did on my last vacation to Hawaii! I can hardly wait to go back for the next class! |

I work for a small city in Southern California as a Captain in the Fire Department and as an Arson Investigator. Recently I, along with 6 other Firemen had to requalify with our firearms (Glock 22) with our Police Department. As you can imagine there was lots of verbal spears being thrown at us firefighters from all of the cops there shooting with us. During the training a friendly competition developed and the firefighters shot the pants off of the cops. Two of us are 1st Family Members and a couple others had attended a 4 day defensive hand gun course at … (click for more) |

| Front Sight has been one of the few events in my life that I can definitely state, ‘I am a different person because of this.’ I have gone from being vaguely afraid of firearms to having a respect for them and also understanding what is required to use them responsibly with forethought of consequence. Front Sight will change your outlook on the gun control debate. |

| Nancy Speer, Teacher |

| Beth Fish, Homemaker |

I learned skills that didn’t require a tremendous amount of strength but learned how to leverage my body. Anyone can do this. |

| Julie Aliconar, Commercial Title Officer |
| When Front Sight said they can guarantee improvement, I had to see it to believe it. The class made me realize how much I did not know about handling a firearm in a confrontational situation. I am so much better and much more confident now, after taking the class. Front Sight came through for me and they will come through for you. |
| |
| R. Lee Vaughn, Engineering Dept. Manager |
| Front Sight is very professionally presented. All students are treated with respect by all the instructors. There is ample time to ask questions.

Most importantly, the use of positive reinforcement as a teaching method is fantastic! |

In the fall of 2002 I took my first Defensive Handgun course at Front Sight. I was awed by the speed and proficiency of some of my classmates. I remember wondering how many years and classes it would take me to get to that level. Answer: Just three classes over the period of one year. More than just an ego boost, you guys have given me the tools and skills crucial to my law enforcement workday. From one law enforcement professional to a school of professionals, thank you and keep up the good work. |

| Ken Gillett, Real Estate Sales |
| My only experience with weapons training has been with Front Sight. I recently watched (at the request of the range manager) a local training course. I then realized how great Front Sight really is. The very low student to instructor ratio makes sure you get the training you paid for and no one gets left behind. I can’t say enough about the quality and qualifications of the instructors. Front Sight is world-class and I’m proud to be a First Family Member. |

| Jamie Bell, Telecom Engineer |

Now that I have the no-nonsense news about what it takes physically, mentally, and emotionally to be prepared to use a gun in self-defense (which includes avoiding the use of the gun in the first place), I will be going to Front Sight every year just to stay sharp. When I finished the 4-Day Defensive Handgun course, signing up for a First Family Membership was a no-brainer. It is an eye-opening and extremely rewarding program. I would strongly recommend it truly for anyone – any skill level, any side of the gun issue. |

I am currently attending the orange county sheriff’s training academy at the level 3 position. During the range portion of the training the instructors were quite flabbergasted that I could clear a Type 3 malfunction in just under 4 seconds, from the ready. They were quite interested in my lightning speed to their command “on target”. I just said, “Dry practice.” |

Served as an Arson Investigator for my Department for five years. I have attended a dozen gun safety courses and the regional police academy. I have never, I repeat never, learned, performed and improved my knowledge and skills more efficiently than while being at Front Sight. The instructors are top notch and the motivation and encouragement can not be matched anywhere. I am humbled by the exceptional work being accomplished at Front Sight. These guys are going to shift the popular vote regarding gun ownership within this country in the next decade! |

| Colleen Hillman, Mother |
| I think everyone should take Empty Hand Defense, Edged Weapons and Martial Arts at Front Sight. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, funny and extremely professional. They took a group which included a grandmother, two moms, three children and an attorney and gently pushed them through, what we thought was rigorous, training that will be extremely useful. During the workday I am either on a college campus or working at a Federal installation which won’t allow me to carry a handgun. With more training in this curriculum at Front Sight I know that I will always have four … (click for more) |

Ever since I was exposed to Front Sight’s Practical Rifle course back in August 1997 by Dr. Piazza himself, I have been returning to gain more knowledge and skill. Not only to shoot better, but most importantly, to gain the understanding of self defense and personal safety. That is what all the courses at Front Sight are all about! There is no other place I would like to learn to shoot and understand to shoot safely than here with the most professional and highly qualified and most dedicated line of Instructors! |

Everyone should learn how to use a gun, even if you don’t have an interest in owning a gun or shooting. Guns are very prolific in society and people should know how they work and how to not be afraid of them. |

If you’re going to own or carry a gun this is the place to become confident and competent in its use and application. |

The shotgun course at Front Sight just might be the finest choice to teach home defense skills. Who wouldn’t invest four days to provide a real security base for their family? |

I brought my wife to Practical Rifle this week. She came in as a non-shooter and was taken from discouraged on the first day to very happy and successful on the fourth day. Her comment to me was “This was fun! Your AR-15 is now mine!” My hat is off to the Front Sight Rifle Instructors who made this possible. Thanks guys!! |

My only experience with weapons training has been with Front Sight. I recently watched(at the request of the range manager)a local training course. I then realized how great Front Sight really is. The very low student to instructor ratio makes sure you get the training you paid for and no one gets left behind. I can’t say enough about the quality and qualifications of the instructors. Front Sight is world class and I’m proud to be a First Family Member. |

Now that I have the no-nonsense news about what it takes physically, mentally, and emotionally to be prepared to use a gun in self-defense (which includes avoiding the the use of the gun in the first place), I will be going to Front Sight every year just to stay sharp. When I finished the 4-day defensive hndgun course, signing up for a Family Membership was a no-brainer. It is an eye-opening and extremely rewarding program. I would strongly recommend it truly for anyone – any skill level, any side of the gun issues. |

Dear Front Sight Resort, Back in April, my entire family came to Front Sight for our vacation. My parents, my two brothers, my sister-in-law, my wife, my three children, and I had the greatest vacation we’ve EVER had! My brother and his wife, who are First Family members, gave us certificates as gifts. I’ve had over seven years of law enforcement firearms training through my job with the Maryland Division of Correction. I came to Front Sight with the hopes of honing the shooting skills that I already had. … (click for more) |

Dear Front Sight Resort, We finally got the CCP law changed in MN to a shall issue state. May 28th I applied for a permit and found out that Front Sight was not yet an approved provided by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Dear Front Sight Resort, I’m writing to tell you, “It’s all your fault.” This weekend, Anastasia (my 7 year old daughter) and I went boar hunting in Mendocino County, along with my cousin and his son. On the first night of the hunt, we got on a good group of hogs, and I stalked to within about 40 yards of them. I selected one that I wanted, a reddish one with a clearly … (click for more) |

On the June 13-14 weekend my 12 year old son and my 14 year old daughter (they turn 13 and 15 July 6th and 1st) attended the four day defensive handgun course.

As a civilian, I am an NRA instructor of Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun, and Personal Protection. I shoot weekly in a local pistol league.

| The instructors at Front Sight were fabulous. Their patience throughout the two day course was remarked on by several people I talked with. I personally learned more during this two-day course than during the last twenty years of shooting combined. It was a great experience. |
| |
| Roger Phillips, Automotive Refinisher |
| When Front Sight says that their training far exceeds that of law enforcement, that is not just talk. I have shot next to many police officers and their skills are not what they should be. But with an open mind, and some effort these same police officers are soon shooting at much higher levels, and have a much better chance of winning a gunfight. |
| |
| Thomas A. Peppler, Attorney |
| As all of the veterans attending the course at Front Sight seem to agree, it is the best training available today. I fully support Dr. Piazza’s strategy to restore gun ownership to its rightful place in American society. |
| |
| Kevin Jensen, Race Car Fabricator |
| I received better training on automatic weapons at Front Sight’s free one-day submachine gun course than I did in the US Army. |

| Phillip Vaughan, Warehouse Manager |
| This class improved my level of skill a thousand percent! I cannot thank everyone involved enough – especially Dr. Piazza. If you think you are proficient enough with your weapon of choice to protect yourself and your loved ones in a heated gun fight, you are wrong! Attend a class at Front Sight and you will become a believer as much as I am. |

| John Woo, MD |
| I had a strong appreciation for the instructors at Front Sight, but after taking this course and learning what they do, now I hold them in complete awe and admiration. |
| |
| David Broberg, Farmer |
| The training cadre at Front Sight took a very competent target shooter and taught him the complexities of weapons handling that he never dreamed possible. There is much more to defensive shooting than just hitting a bullseye. The leadership, expertise, and patience exhibited by the instructional staff was exemplary. |
| |
| John F. Moran, Captain, US Army |
| Suffice it to say that I have been to Gunsite, LFI, HK, and OPS and I always come back to Front Sight. |
| |
| Edwin Lowrey, US Special Forces, Retired |
| 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. |
| |
| Bill Garland, Firearms Instructor, Oregon Police Academy |
| Student comfort and safety are stressed in a positive, team environment. Great job! The training is as good or better than any I have encountered. Very impressed by the direct and friendly teaching style, and the lack of ‘cute’ or ego-driven sayings or techniques. Solid, sound information delivered by superior instructors! |
| |
| Mallika Albert, Massage Therapist |
| I approached this training with an extreme anti-gun attitude that I’ve had my whole life (50 years). Front Sight’s training definitely changed my attitude significantly. I acquired important skills to now share a new interest with my husband. Thank you Front Sight! |
| |
| Tony Wise, Pawnbroker |
| I did not know how much I did not know about shooting a firearm until I attended Front Sight. I grew up with guns around my house and my father was a police officer and I attended firearm classes at my local range. After Front Sight’s course, I realize how inferior and incompetent all of that previous training was. Thank you for helping me become a safe and responsible gun owner. |
| |
| Bryon R. Benz, Captain, US Army |
| I thought I knew what I was doing. After attending the Four Day Handgun course I now know what I did not know and learned and improved a ton! Excellent instruction. The personnel and training techniques are top notch. I will go back for more training. |

| In order to learn to perform to a level that could save your life, Front Sight is the place to go. The instructors are great! They are competent, patient, and very proficient in their skills.

| Everything was first-class. Immense amount of training. Now I can practice safely; I know what to practice; and I will practice. |
| |
| Douglas C. Scott, Buyer |
| Outstanding teacher to student ratio. Lecture was without question, equal or greater in value than the range time. The instructors demonstrated great skill which really made me try to reach for that level. Front Sight is the best school of its kind. You are taught that the last thing you ever want to do is shoot someone. You are also taught the best way to do so, when there is no other choice. |
| |
| Jean Mauregard, Street Rod Builder |
| Even if you think you know all about the use of a defensive handgun – trust me you don’t! Take the defensive handgun course at Front Sight. You will realize how much you have not known. The skills you learn could save your life. |

| If you are already familiar with firearms, Front Sight provides world class training, no matter what your level of experience. If you are not at all familiar with firearms, and want to be, by all means go to Front Sight and learn it right the first time. If you are a loved one of mine and want to learn to defend and protect yourself with a gun, I don’t want you to go anywhere else but Front Sight! |

| Dr. Floyd Minana, Chiropractor |

| My instructors at Front Sight were possibly the most capable and caring team I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I hope to meet them all again. |

| Kurt Horvat, VP |
| Front Sight was the most worthwhile firearms training I have ever participated in. Even better than the night shooting handgun course I once attended that was taught by Pennsylvania State Trooper Instructors. |

| William Brizzee, Dentist |
| After just my first handgun course, I no longer looked at the expensive, glitzy new guns as real defensive tools. What counts first and foremost is training. The actual tool a distant second. |
| |
| Juliana Bernabe, CFO |
| As a woman student I was concerned whether I could really do the class. I’m glad I attended because I learned so much more in two days than I had in the last year of shooting. I now have confidence to draw my gun, shoot, and even clear any malfunctions in 2-3 seconds. I can do it every single time. |

| Mike Petrashevich, Office Manager |
| It’s true you just don’t know how much you really don’t know until you come to Front Sight. |

| |
| Les Jones, Inspector |
| After 30 years of shooting, I am now just beginning to shoot correctly thanks to Front Sight. I look forward to more classes in the future. The Front Sight instructors are the best! |
| |
| Tim Lynch, Retired Marine Officer |
| 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. |
| |
| Randy Furby, Deputy Sheriff |
| All of the staff at Front Sight are professional. They are very good at what they do. The course was the most professionally run course I have ever attended. Very impressive both in action and performance. |

| Charlene Aliangan, Flight Attendant |
| I had a wonderful experience at Front Sight. I never would have dreamed of shooting a submachine gun in my lifetime. If I can do this course, have fun, and no longer be afraid of guns, then so can you. |

| Dale Huston, Police Officer |
| What you learn at Front Sight today, could save your life tomorrow. I’m impressed. |

| Jerry Jones, Webmaster at Walt Disney World |
| I can’t say enough about Front Sight instructors. They are friendly, patient, well trained, and make sure safety is #1. I already called two of my friends to rave about your course and facilities. We all plan to come back and take the four day handgun class and more. |

| Jim Johnson, CPA/Attorney |
| First class people and a first class course. My family changed our California vacation plans to enable me to spend the day at Front Sight. I was not disappointed. Lots of practical tips I’ve not received elsewhere. |
| |
| Mike Manginill, Retired |
| Front Sight’s instructors are not only knowledgeable, but sought to share their knowledge. I just took the Gunsite 250 course. After attending the free, one day submachine gun course I am more impressed with the Front Sight staff’s attentiveness to their students. |

| Mike Jones, Police Officer |
| Front Sight is hands down the best facility and instructional staff in the nation. |

| I have seen many firearms instructors, but the crew at Front Sight really know their stuff. They can handle the newest student to the old hand that thinks he knows everything. |

| |
| Greg Hahn, Sheet Metal Worker |
| I’ve been involved in many courses. Most schools I have attended treat their classes as a job; not anywhere near the passion and dedication to excellence that I experienced at Front Sight. |
| |
| Peter Nolan, USMC |
| 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. |
| |
| Stephanie Bird, Homemaker |
| I believe Front Sight is making a lot of dreams come true. The experience was awesome. It gave a whole new meaning to the word gun.’ You are giving those of us who were previously against guns or knew nothing about guns a much better understanding of what they are all about. As a woman, I feel so much better, knowing that I have training on how to operate a gun to protect myself and my loved ones. |
| |
| Eddie Ray Lee, Professor |
| I have taken several one day, two day, and week long courses in my life. Front Sight’s course is the best organized and presented. Front Sight should teach teachers how to teach! |
| |
| Doug Woolley, Army Officer |
| 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! |
| |
| Lyle Hayes, Aircraft Maintenance Technician |
| 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! |
| |
| Robert Warren, Policemen |
| As I was told at the beginning of the Front Sight course, everyone will experience significant improvement over their current skills. This is certainly true. |
| |
| Todd Vierheller, Software Engineer |
| The teacher to student ratio at Front Sight is phenomenal and allows instruction to be tailored to the individual’s level. The instruction on the shooting aftermath was the most thorough I have ever experienced at any training course. In addition, other schools would have difficulty even coming close to delivering Front Sight training no matter how good their instructors simply due to Front Sight’s incredible facilities. |

| Rick Del Prato, Correctional Sergeant |
| This crash course of skills, tactics, and control exceeds many law enforcement curriculum taught to advanced law enforcement. |

| Mike Jones, Police Officer |
| I have been to numerous instructor courses including the CHP, FBI, and civilian. Front Sight’s teaching style and philosophies are second to none. Your techniques will help me with any course I have to instruct. Front Sight instructors are by far the most professional and dedicated staff I have ever met. |

| I have carried a shotgun for 14 years as a police officer. After this course at Front Sight, I will use it! |

| Dennis Hankey, Investments |
| Front Sight provides comprehensive, encompassing training on important issues not normally given any consideration or addressed with any detail as this school does. Front Sight is the best school I have ever attended in firearms training. |

| Richard Ferry, Business Manager |
| Front Sight presents to the entire nation, what the right to self defense means in today’s society. I applaud the school and its mission. I hope someday my two children (now ages 7 and 10) will have the opportunity to attend Front Sight’s training. |

| Jeffrey Paley, Engineer |
| Absolutely the most dedicated and competent bunch of professionals I have ever had the pleasure of training with. Very patient and understanding, yet firm in the commitment to facilitate our learning. I know I am 100% more competent than I was just two days ago. You can put yourself in this course knowing little about firearms and defense and in just two days you will come out of this experience more skilled and confident than 90% of the people who own firearms not only in the mechanics of defense, but the legal and ethical aspects as well. I highly recommend Front … (click for more) |

| |
| Dennis DeChance, Construction Estimator |
| Trying to explain what a Front Sight class is like is like trying to explain the color blue to someone who has been blind from birth. I can try to explain it, but you can’t understand until you have experienced it first hand. |

| Chess Smythe, Emergency Room Tech |
| Extremely helpful and friendly staff. I was shooting better after the first day than I have in the eight years of practicing on my own at the range. |
| |
| Beth Duensing, Homemaker |
| I signed up for a Front Sight course to appease my husband. I agreed to come, but not necessarily to shoot. I was afraid of actually shooting something automatic. The instructors were great. After the first shots were fired, I became much more relaxed and had a fantastic time. Now I will likely come back for another course. Thank you for this opportunity. |
| |
| Jim Conway, Conway Engineering |
| The defensive handgun course is an eye-opener that was jammed packed with real world information. Front Sight is not a boot camp with drill instructors, but rather a friendly and highly competent learning environment. I cannot imagine a better way to learn how and when to use firearms for your personal defense. I have had a concealed weapon permit for almost 15 years. I learned more in this two day program than in the previous 15 years. |

| Russell Sibell, Laser Engineer |
| Front Sight is the best organization I have ever dealt with. I will recommend Front Sight to all my family and friends especially my brother who is a Sheriff’s Deputy. |

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

| Thomas Wilson, Statistician |
| I drove 1,100 miles, one-way, to attend this course. The professionalism and knowledge of the courteous staff made this trip well worth my time. |
| |
| Rev. Michael Mitchell, Ph.D., Minister |
| This course is the finest training program I could imagine. How Dr. Piazza has assembled and trained such a well disciplined, highly qualified, professional group of instructors is a testament to his skill and leadership. Dr. Piazza is the epitome of a professional leader, business executive, and visionary. May he be most blessed in his endeavors. |
| |
| Michael Calhoun, Peace Officer |
| The instructors performed professionally and courteously. Their positive praise and constructive corrections far surpassed any of my previous firearms training. I learned many new tactical techniques that my police academy instructors should adopt and teach. |
| |
| Ken Fish, Fortune 500 Executive |
| You have to see it and hear Dr. Piazza’s vision to appreciate it fully. However, the submachine gun courses is free, really absolutely free. It is fun. It is safe. It is educational even if you already know a lot about firearms. It is unique. Where else will you ever get a chance to shoot a submachine gun? GO! |
| |
| John Toomey, Satellite Orbital Analyst |
| Hard to find the right words. If you are a gun owner, this free submachine gun course must be experienced to be believed! It’s like no other shooting experience a civilian can imagine. |

| Rhonda Lunder, Teacher |
| Front Sight instructors are awesome! They are encouraging, personable, consistent, professional and courteous. No matter where you start when you arrive, you will improve! |
| |
| Becky Hyde, Housewife |
| I came to the handgun course a complete novice. I had fired a pistol before, but relied on my husband to do all the set up before shooting and securing it afterward. I learned not only how to do both of these things, but now feel confident in accurately firing and handling my pistol. This class was a challenge, but was extremely fun and exhilarating. This class pushed me beyond a comfort level I had long enjoyed, but consequently improved me way beyond my expectations. Thank you Front Sight. |

| Kamie Blake, Mom |
| Fear of guns is your lack of knowledge of them. There is no better defense against an enemy than a firearm especially for women. You don’t know what you don’t know until you come to Front Sight. |

| Eric Ryden, Police Officer |
| Front Sight is the future in firearms training. From the novice civilian to the veteran soldier or law enforcement officer, all will gain invaluable knowledge by attending their courses. |

| Daniel Hall, Fraud Investigator |
| The free, one day submachine gun course is well worth the $500 dollars you won’t have to spend. The Instruction alone is worth the drive the shooting is a bonus. |

| Michelle Martin, Kindergarten Teacher |
| I had an extraordinary time at the submachine gun course. The instructors were talented, knowledgeable, courteous, and safety conscious. This courses is a must especially for women! |

| The four day handgun course is excellent instruction with absolutely first-rate content. I was overwhelmingly impressed with the quality and depth of instructors. Front Sight is the best place to learn how to safely and responsibly handle a weapon. |
| |
| Ryan Foulkner, Executive Protection Agent |
| Without a doubt, Front Sight exceeds all other schools I’ve had both while in the USMC and as a civilian in the protective agent roll. 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. |

| Levin Liebeck, Law Student |
| It must be seen to be believed. And there is no catch just a great time! |

| Mich Steinmetz, Mortgage Broker |
| After 15 years as an FFL licensee, I was amazed at what I did not know. I thought I was a safe gun owner and a fair shot. Front sight showed me I had a lot to learn and in the last four days I have learned a lot! If you own a gun and want to be competent as well as safe, you need to attend Front Sight! |

| Dale Wysocki, Police Officer |
| I have been to many schools and Front Sight is the best and that is why I purchased a membership. Front Sight has qualified instructors that can do what they preach. Front Sight has consistency of instruction all of the instructors follow the same format which alleviates any confusion. Front Sight has an attention to detail. Front Sight provides intensity and volume of training. I pick up more in a couple of days at Front Sight than years elsewhere.

| The four day handgun course was an excellent class. I expected to get 1/3 the amount of material that the class actually covered. It is amazing how well you can do once you are taught proper techniques. Now, I do not have any doubts about the outcome of a gunfight I might be in. If you intend to own a firearm, it is an absolute must to attend a course at Front Sight. Your life and the lives of your family depend on it. |

| Maita Castellanes, Office Manager |
| Front Sight is an awesome place to learn and shoot a submachine gun. The instructors are professional, personable, and patient. I enjoyed it immensely. It is an experience everyone should try. |
| |
| Jeff Caulk, Naval Flight Officer |
| Fantastic experience! Front Sight’s free 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. There are no strings attached. |
| |
| George Lohmann, Police Officer |
| Front Sight easily exceeded the firearms training I have previously received in my police career. I will definitely be returning in the future to the fountain of firearms training at Front Sight. |
| |
| Wayne Repich, CEO/Co-Founder, Vanguard Acceptance Corporation |
| Front Sight is excellent! Incredible! There is an old saying, Those who can’t do, teach.’ That old saying does not apply at Front Sight at all. Every instructor at Front Sight is an expert marksman and tactician. And, they are fantastic educators. |
| |
| SSG, Dale R. Mohr |
| 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 … (click for more) |

| Terri Kuegel, Registered Nurse |
| The free submachine gun course was the best firearms class I have ever been to. I can’t wait for my next course. I learned more in this one day course that I have in other 2 and 3 day courses. |
| |
| Glenn Frank, Veterinarian Scientist |
| Front Sight took me from virtually never pulling a weapon from my holster to feeling quite comfortable in doing so now. If you ever thought about handling a pistol for sport or defensive purposes, you must take a course at Front Sight. It is extremely informative, a dramatic skill builder, and outrageously fun too! I’m not even in the same universe of skills now as compared to four days ago. |
| |
| Roland Vergeer, Technical Director |
| Front Sight is top of the line training from professionals who know what it is to be a student. They not only teach you what to do, but also why it is done that way. |
| |
| Bobbi Bowen, Computer Engineer |
| To get to the National Team for International Skeet Shooting, I had some of the best coaches in the world. These coaches included former Olympic Gold Medal winners and their coaches. Front Sight’s staff are among the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. |
| |
| Jeff Ma, Medical Research Technician |
| I had read others’ comments before arriving at Front Sight and I always thought they were exaggerating. Now I know why the comments are so positive! |
| |
| Bruce J. McSurdy, MD |
| I flew over 2000 miles to attend this course. Had I known how good it would be, I would have walked, if necessary. |
| |
| Stephen Eichelberger, Attorney |
| It was everything I’d heard about it First Rate Instruction (better than I had in the Marine Corps), all promises kept, and something I’m proud to have been a part of. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You will receive more than you could possibly expect. |
| |
| Katie Rylant, Veterinarian Technician |
| Before this class I would not have considered traveling this far (8 hours) to take a gun course. Now, I am definitely interested in returning for another course. |
| |
| Jason Petterson, Police Officer |
| They say some things sound too good to be true, but Front Sight is the exception. This class was the reason I came to Las Vegas from Minnesota and this class made the trip well worth the time and expense. |
| |
| Tim Harvey, Police Officer |
| Some of the best, if not the best instruction that I have had in a long, long, time. |
| |
| Jason Griffith, Commercial Real Estate Agent |
| 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. |

| Robert Herrera |
| 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. |
| |
| Dr. Suzanne Hedden, College Professor |
| The instructors are true professionals. They were helpful and 100% safety conscious. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about submachine guns. I wholeheartedly endorse this program. |
| |
| Roger Quinlan, Martial Arts Instructor |
| A+. Outstanding. Better than I could describe. Very professional. No BS. No Gimmicks. Better than I could have imagined. |
| |
| Andy Madison, Heavy Equipment Operator |
| My initial skepticism about the free submachine gun course (you don’t get something for nothing, etc.) was alleviated the moment the course started. The course was fun and very informative. With all the impressive credentials of the instructors, I was happily surprised at how helpful and encouraging all of them were. I saw no signs of impatience, conceit or condescending attitudes. |
| |
| Doug McDonald, Semiconductor Engineer |
| I would highly recommend the course just to hear Dr. Piazza’s presentations alone! |
| |
| Bernard Dunn, Electrical Mechanic |
| I have owned handguns since I was 18. I am now 57. I do not have words to describe how little I knew before coming to Front Sight and I did not know that I did not know. Now I know, and can do something about it. |
| |
| John Earl, Engineer |
| I am amazed at how small details take on such importance; and Front Sight focuses on the details. I talked with police officers in my class and they were just as impressed as I was. Front Sight is changing the industry! |
| |
| M. Cameron Jensen, Physician |
| The training was very personal. It seemed like one-on-one most of the time. The instructors made sure everyone was up to speed so no one was left behind. Dr. Piazza’s lectures were extremely informative and dramatically presented invaluable information rarely found elsewhere which is essential to be truly prepared for a real-life, self defense encounter. |
| |
| Darryl Powers, Arson Investigator |
| Public or private, this was by far the best handgun course I have ever attended. Great job by the entire staff. |
| |
| Kevin Moore, Airline Employee |
| I found the course, instructors and overall effort to be of the highest caliber. It is refreshing to see a business effort based on such high principles. |
| |
| Lee Thomas, Letter Carrier |
| Everything is experienced as advertised rare in today’s marketplace. Dr. Piazza must be considered a visionary and a great patriot. |
| |
| Frank Bergschneider, Production Manager |
| Received more training, in such a short amount of time than I would have believed. Great instructors and they made you feel like they really cared about your training even if it was free. |
| |
| Christopher R. Goggin, Carpenter |
| Very enlightening and enjoyable! Just one day of instruction and I’ve learned so much! I can only imagine what a four day course consists of in any of the courses offered. I can’t wait to come back! |
| |
| Travis Clayton, Graduate Student |
| Very simply, the Front Sight, Free Submachine Gun course is top-notch. You will learn more in one free training day than any number of days at the range. These guys are rock-solid professionals! |
| |
| Ron Glenn, Glenn Security Systems |
| If you want to keep The Second Amendment alive, go see the people and the attitude that will make it happen and then spread the word. At the same time have a blast learning to properly handle submachine gun for free! |
| |
| Ron Welch, Cabinet Maker |
| This is the most comprehensive day of firearms training I have ever experienced in 35 years of competitive shooting. I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Front Sight. The organization is very professional and the instructors are the best I have seen in one group. |
| |
| Carol English, Real Estate Agent |
| I figured we would sit through a huge real estate presentation, then up to the firing line for a quick demo on the gun and a few short bursts on full auto. Instead, we received a full, one day course, plus breakfast, plus lunch, plus all the ammo and the guns free! and no real estate presentation. The instructors are true professionals. These guys know their stuff. They demonstrate the highest competence and were all extremely articulate in conveying the information, plus I felt they were truly interested in my learning and improving my skills while having a good time. |
| |
| Ellwyn L. Laxson, Retired Fighter Pilot |
| Everything was First Class! |
| |
| Todd Matthews, Internet Commerce |
| You covered everything completely. Way above my expectations!!! It was the most comprehensive class, the best firearms training I ever had; far better than even my military training. |
| |
| Debra Teal, Housewife |
| I came because my husband insisted. I expected not to enjoy myself because I did not feel competent enough to do this and was really apprehensive. But what I found is that the instructors were so patient and encouraging. I was like the little engine that said, I think I can, I think I can-I know I can!’ You don’t have to be an expert to attend this course. It is as enjoyable for a novice like myself as it is to shooters of all skill levels. Don’t be intimidated. Try it! |
| |
| William Haller, Project Manager |
| Front Sight is the best firearms training available. Front Sight has made me feel more comfortable with a weapon than the last three previous instructions I have had. |
| |
| Bryan Hyde, Radio Personality |
| Your institute is a shining example of professionalism, leadership, and common sense. I have never attended a class that I did not come away from better in every sense as a firearms owner and shooter. Your staff is personable, credible, and knowledgeable. |
| |
| Cameron Hansen, School Teacher |
| If it were possible to improve upon perfection, you have done it! I attended in October and was awestruck, and this time it was even better. I like how the facility continues to improve as well as the improved teaching techniques. Having each instructor specialize in a portion of the instruction is an outstanding teaching technique. It gives the student a variety of personalities and teaching styles. I tell everyone about this incredible place! |
| |
| Keith Owen, Martial Arts Instructor |
| This was very, very, very professional training. I’m a martial arts instructor and I learned a lot about teaching and being professional from the staff at Front Sight. |
| |
| John Lowenbruck, Tile and Marble Contractor |
| The instructors at Front Sight are larger than life. Anything I can tell you about the course really won’t do it justice until you come and see for yourself. |
| |
| James R. Morris, Human Resource Coordinator |
| Front Sight is the most progressive step I have ever seen toward bringing responsible gun ownership into a light that even Sarah Brady could not say anything bad about. The instructors are professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. |
| |
| Daryl Okayama, Firearms Instructor |
| The instruction is top notch, concise, and clear. To offer this type of instruction to civilians is brilliant and it is such a good deal because it is absolutely 100% no-strings-attached FREE! Where can you get that type of value? You can’t even buy this kind of training at most of the other shooting schools. Front Sight is the most positive, professional training experience that I have ever attended. |
| |
| Kamie Blake, Homemaker |
| A lot of women are afraid of guns. Coming to a course at Front Sight will teach you how to be more confident with weapons and yourself. You will know how to defend yourself and those you love. |
| |
| Dewey Winstead, USAF Medical Technician |
| 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. |

| |
| Laura Cheney, Homemaker |
| As a beginner, I found my learning curve to be straight up. The course pace was fast enough to push the student yet allowed time to digest all the material. I found the instructors to be very professional, knowledgeable, extremely competent, alert, and helpful at all times. I appreciate that they were not patronizing or condescending to me because I am a woman. The course was challenging and fun! |
| |
| Harold Todd, Fireman |
| The most pleasurable shooting experience I have ever had since shooting my first shots with Dad over forty years ago. Front Sight will be the Mecca of the shooting sport training profession. All of the instructors were of the highest caliber. Professional, courteous, and knowledgeable the best I have ever seen. The Front Sight course in submachine gun is the best one day event any shooter can experience! |
| |
| Melissa B., Registered Nurse |
| I had an absolute blast and learned a great deal about how to control a submachine gun properly. The instructors were outstanding and very patient even with novices like myself. |
| |

| |
| Robert Tippit, Police Firearms Instructors |
| Fantastic! Stupendous! Every time I step foot on Front Sight property I learn something new. As a firearms instructor, I have found that the most knowledgeable and dedicated instructor cadre in the business can be found at Front Sight. When I am asked about other training schools, the first words out of my mouth are Front Sight! |
| |
| Charles Haase, Economics Professor |
| This is the most fun and most instructive day I have spent in a very long time. All of Front Sight’s instructors are professional and well spoken, delivering their lessons with crispness and precision. The submachine gun course was interesting, educational, and most importantly, a lot of fun! |

| Front Sight is the best firearms training I have ever received. The instructors know how to train students. All were knowledgeable, skilled, friendly, and taught me how to be proficient with a firearm. |
| |
| Carol Hill, Artist |
| Impressive!!! I was a little nervous at first, but the course was so well choreographed that I soon became at ease. I really enjoyed myself and came away feeling competent that I could handle myself with an Uzi submachine gun! I can’t say enough about the instructors. I would rather travel to Las Vegas than attend courses locally. |
| |
| Irlene Mandrell, Entertainer |
| If you get a chance to take this class at any price, it would be great. All the instructors were very professional and fun to be around. Don’t miss the chance to take this class for free. You not only will learn more about shooting, but more about life and how to save yours. |
| |
| David Streck, Attorney |
| Absolutely fantastic! I cannot think of any ways to improve upon such an amazing course. |
| |
| Elliot Grossman, Attorney at Law |
| Although I’ve been a gun owner for many years, it shocks me to think about how little I knew about properly shooting a handgun before starting a Front Sight. Thank you Dr. Piazza and Front Sight instructors! I highly recommend your school for anyone from the first-time shooter to the long-time gun owner and experienced shooter. The instruction and teaching methodology is excellent. The instructors are personable and friendly and the atmosphere is supportive. |

| |
| David Kapler, Fire Chief |
| This is the best instruction available on all aspects of using a weapon for self defense legal as well as tactical. The classroom instruction was the best I have ever had. |
| |
| Cameron Hansen, Teacher |
| The Front Sight organization will improve your shooting and weapons handling skill. It is incredibly awesome! It is a thrill to shoot, but better than that, you will walk away with a greater confidence in yourself that you likely will not find anywhere else. |
| |
| Richard Besocke, Teacher |
| If you own a firearm, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones, and the general public to be trained and prepared to in the use of your weapon. Front Sight is THE organization to provide the training. |
| |

| 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. |
| |
| Beatrice Harrold, Captain, US Naval Reserves |
| 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! |

It will give you a better understanding of the whole shooting process and really help you to see the gun as a tool, not something to be afraid of! |
