For those interested in attending, I'm putting together a group trip to Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, NV (approx 1 hour from Las Vegas). I'd like to do this semi-annually.
I've been to Front Sight a few times and brought a group last year, we had a great time! Most people who have been there will tell you the training is top-notch!
Let's see how this goes, let's keep this thread to the topic of attending Front Sight as a group and sharing expenses. Reply here or PM with any questions.

I have a 3 bedroom house reserved that sleeps up to 8. Sleeping arrangements are 2 queen size and 1 king size bed, a futon and a couch in the living room. 5 people can be accommodated easily. Up to 8 if some are couples or willing to share a queen or king bed.
Approx travel costs: $600-625, plus Front Sight fees and equipment, ammo and food
