Hey Everyone,
I had the opportunity to take a two day defensive handgun course at Frontsight Firearms Training Facility from 3/10- 3/11 and figured i'd share my thoughts in case anyone else was thinking of taking a class with them.
Here's the text from an email I sent them upon request for comment:
Overall, I enjoyed my experience, and learned a lot. They primarily teach weaver, which some feel is a bit dated, but after learning proper technique I can say it significantly improved the accuracy of my shooting.
The MSRP on the class is $1,000.00, however you can buy various levels of memberships for much less than that, which either eliminates the cost of the class (makes it "free"), or subsidizes the cost of the class. Personally, I would not (and did not) pay 1k to take this course. Everything they taught can be sourced easily on youtube or in various training texts, however their facility and staff are both top notch and that is well worth paying for. They have "partner" vendors that offer presentations during lunch, which I understand have relevancy to the topic at hand, however it felt gimmicky and preachy, and was not what I wanted to listen to as I ate my lunch in the only air conditioned room on the site.
Overall, i'd rate my experience an 8/10, and would take another one of their courses.
