Kinny took me as a guest with his free certificate so I had no expenses outside of travel (and an awesome Emerson knife I bought in the pro shop).

The training (IMO) was a bit dated when it came to teaching the Weaver stance and thum-on-thumb grip. That said, the instructors had practiced these forms enough to be impressive and they did help some of the people improve.

Safety? I guess the firing line was fairly safe. I only refused once to participate with someone who I was partnered with. When I put my gun away and sat down, the staff realized the poor old guy was dangerous and issued him a rubber gun.

I would not choose to go back to front sight simply because they do not challenge their students in the basic (read affordable) courses.

I was able to skip the sales pitch by skipping lunch inside of the facility on the second day. There was no pressure on site to join their organization. The mass mailings are ridiculous and the phone calls are even more irritating.

Best part of the experience was the seminars, in my opinion, their awareness seminar is second to none.
