Front Sight Class Report

W-O-W! The 4-Day Defensive Handgun Class was a lot more than what I had expected. For the amount of people that were in my class and overall the whole place, it was well done and perfectly orchestrated. Each day followed the program down to the minute... drills, breaks, lunches all were done... and yet I never felt rushed or crammed.

Each drill taught me something new or helped me correct an ugly old habit. I won't do a day-by-day breakdown as I don't want to loose some of my no-gun audience but I'll briefly give you an overview. Worked on the 5-count holster draw, trigger reset and control pairs, front sight focus, clearing malfunctions, drawing from holster with a concealment garment... now add all that but with an ever dwindling time pressure, 1.5 secs never seemed so small. My hands are a bit sore after loading 700+ rounds in 4 days.

The location was easy to access, about 20 mins south of Pahrump, NV. Everything on site is clearly marked. There are several rows of port-a-potties by the entrance of the main classroom but also a couple at each range. They were always clean when I used them. It was hot! Every day was on the high 90s. For our convenience they had water coolers and Gatorade available to us. Note to self (and others): bring big cooler to store food and drinks.

Having the money and time I wouldn't hesitate taking more classes. I'm sore and tired but I have a big smile!

Cheers,
Ben
