Range Master teaching the proper handgun grip technique.

Image
Towers for the rope climbing class.

Enough said. Hehe

Image
Step 1 of 5 on how to draw from holster.

Image
Demonstration on how to set up a Type 3 Malfunction.

Image
My drive to the shooting school every day. Beautiful ain't it?

Image
They called this the "Monster's Inc" because of all the doors. Hehe.

Image
Students learning how to negotiate a tactical search around the corner.

Image
The man vs. man competition.

Image
Man vs. Woman

Image
You're suppose to hit the white part behind the grey humanoid steelie. Hitting the humanoid target will disqualify you. Hehe. Teaches you to take your time.

Image
Me at the second elimination round. I won that round, but lost the third round because the other guy was slightly quicker. Bravo to him. :)

Image
Being debriefed.

Image
Man vs. Woman part duex. Hehehe..

Image
Studio 54 at MGM Grand.

Image
Excalibur

Image
Las Vegas Blvd.

Image
The MGM Lion.

Image
NY NY. Nice.

Image
That's pretty wierd. It's inside MGM Casino.

Image
The real MGM Lions. lol.

That's all folks. Hehe.

Now as far as the development problem thing. It was explained that they are near completion with "phase I" This means there is no permenant bathroom established yet. The portapottie is actually not too bad, and they are actually kept clean. Instruction is excellent, but then again, this is my first class at a shooting school so I may not know any better.

No problem. I'm at the airport now waiting for my flight back home. I gave the Vegas TSA a little problem earlier. It seems that I've forgot to put my pistol smith tool kit into my checkin back and left it in my carry on bag. Needless to say, it's staying in Vegas. lol. It's okay. I can always buy another one from Wally World. As for this trip, it is overall very enjoyable. The staff at Front Sight has been nothing but curteous and professional (except in the live fire scenario, they cuss like drunken sailors to distract you and get your adrenaline flowing, lol). Although development is slow, I'm sure they'll move along surely. :)

Which class did you take and how did you like it. My wife and I are considering training somewhere and thought Front Sight would be the most "user friendly" to women.

Where did you pick up the certificate?
Thanks

Hi DiverDown. I took their 4 day defensive handgun course. They basically start you from the ground up. And if you developed some bad habits, they will surely correct you. They are also very female friendly. As you can see, our range master is a female herself. They teach anyone who is willing to learn and they do so with patience and are very professional.
I've actually purchased a membership from there. It's kinda expensive, but I plan to go back every year so I think it'll eventually work itself out. I've heard you can buy them at ebay or you can check this website out http://www.cheap-certificates.com/certificate.html
