Re: FRONT SITE 4 DAY COMBAT PISTOL CLASS
I have been to 10 or so classes at FS and I have learned and enjoyed the classes. Seems a lot of people judge the facility based on the beginner classes. There will always be folks who do not like the kind of training they receive mostly beacuse there initial skill set does not match the curriculum. The beginning classes are what they are ment to be for beginners. GMs and High Master level shooters will be not impressed with the beginning classes. Few shooting facilities can host 850 trainees on a given weekend. FS does.
The advanced classes are more enjoyable than the beginnig classes, once the student demonstrates, he or she has the required skill set, they can progress to the advanced classes. It is enjoyable taking classes where you do not need to wait for the slackers who lack the basic entry level skills. The beginning classes are for ensuring the skills are mastered prior to moving on.
On the hype, marketing and promotion. One can just ignore it as I do, no one makes it mandentory that you need to buy into that stuff if you choose not to.

I've been to frontsight a few times and was impressed by their classes. I believe the bad reviews are probably from advanced shooters taking beginners classes.
Can't beat $69. You're not going to find anything anywhere close to that price. They do email spam alot of advertisements and "once in a lifetime" offers though.

I liked my instructors there. We had a 10 day military course that was great. We did have several of their more experienced instructors, and I appreciated seeing their style of teaching. I also appreciated Mr and Mrs Cooper letting us come into their home and talk to Jeff on topics (It is unfortunate that he has passed.)
As for a basic course for 69.00 that is an exceptional value. You must remember they teach aimed fire, not point shooting. This matters greatly because if you have an Applegate style of shooting instruction background it may rub you wrong.
So you have to ask yourself, 1) am I willing to learn something that may be different than what I already know? 2) Am I willing to look past differences to make me a better shooter? 3) Am I willing to shoot in the Arizona sun and do what I need to accomplish my shooting goal.
I enjoyed my time there, we shot pistol, carbine, and shotguns.
