Gun Training The Better Way

Monday, February 21st, 2011

I talk a lot about a gun training school called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. I rave about the caliber of the school, the educated gun training instructors and the prestige of the founder, Dr. Ignatius Piazza. Front Sight is truly the best.

Tell me this. If an esteemed mathematician were to take a math course from a certain professor, what would that say about that certain professor? Probably that said person had some pretty decent math skills, to say the least. If a Nascar driver were to take a defensive driving course or a racing course from someone, that would show that the person teaching the course must be a really great driver. What about gun training? What does it say about Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and Ignatius Piazza when gun training instructors from other gun training schools choose to attend a gun training course at Front Sight? Not only that, but attend that gun training course and then talk about how impressed they are with it and brag about how much they learned? To me, that says quite a bit about Front Sight and the level of gun training provided there.

The awesome part is, is that actually happens. I have witnessed it myself. I was in a class with more than one gun training instructor, at least one law enforcement officer and at least one military guy. And every single one of them was impressed with the level of gun training provided by the Front Sight gun training instructors. One of them even told me, “Wow. I really didn’t know how much I didn’t know about gun training.” And that’s what he does for a living! That is intense.

However, if you are a beginner, before you get worried about taking a gun training course with Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors at Front Sight, just know that I was a complete beginner in that same course. I shared a range with military and law enforcement personnel, professional gun training instructors, hunters, advanced shooters and people aiming to become Combat Masters… and I was able to keep up with them. How??

Front Sight’s gun training instructors are downright incredible. They figured out a way to teach novices the correct way to shoot a gun the first time, while helping advanced shooters perfect their shooting skills and speed up their reaction time all in the same course. Want to know the coolest part about it? I owe it to my range master and the other gun training instructors on our range, but those guys had me presenting my weapon faster and shooting better than I ever thought possible. By the end of my four day defensive handgun training course at Front Sight, I was shooting just as accurately as some of the more advanced shooters. And I had never shot a handgun before day one.

Front Sight is a great place for beginners to receive the best quality gun training so they can learn how to be safe while handling a gun. At the same time, it is the perfect place for experienced shooters to become even more proficient with a gun. There is no better gun training school than Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.

The Safest Place on Earth: Front Sight

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Would you want to live in a place that has extremely low crime? Wouldn’t it feel great to feel totally safe and secure all the time? Well, imagine sitting in a room with four hundred some odd other people. Now imagine every single one of those people, including you, has a gun on his or her hip. How do you feel?

The first time I experienced this feeling was at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, and I will tell you outright that I have never felt safer in my entire life. Who, in their right mind, would walk into that room and try to rob someone, hit them or take them hostage? Similarly, who in that room would turn around and open fire on four hundred armed people? It was an incredible feeling.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder and current director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, designed Front Sight with the idea in mind of creating the safest town in America. His plans for Front Sight go beyond what currently exists there… yes, it is going to be more than just the best gun training school in the world. Front Sight is going to be a town with stores, schools, a community center, etcetera… but every person that lives there is going to be armed and trained. So, like the idea of sitting in the room with four hundred other armed people, what kind of person would even think about attacking someone in a town where EVERYONE carries a gun AND can use them faster, more accurately and safer than even police officers or military sergeants? Ignatius Piazza is a smart man!

As of now, Front Sight is a huge gun training school where students learn more than they could possibly believe. I’m not kidding when I say that Front Sight students are trained to shoot better than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population. (And that’s after only one weekend!)

Wait… you said there were four hundred other people in the room. I don’t want four hundred people in my gun training course! How will I get the attention I need?

That room that I described was the Front Sight lecture hall. Each day of your Front Sight gun training course, you will listen to a few mind blowing lectures. Before you decide that you hate lectures, just let me say that these are not your typical ones. During my Front Sight lectures, I was totally engrossed every minute of the way. Ignatius Piazza makes sure that the instructors involve the students mentally and physically, keeping them interested and assisting in their mental retention. After lecture, the group breaks up into smaller groups and each student goes to a range with about twenty other students and a few Front Sight gun training instructors.

Small class sizes and multiple gun training instructors provide an awesome mix for tons of one on one gun training. At Front Sight, you will get personal attention from your gun training instructors, so you will get the best possible training you can possibly get. I, personally, can’t wait to go again!

Gun Training Lesson: What if My Gun Won’t Shoot?

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Let’s paint the picture. It is the middle of the night and you’re in bed. You wake up to the sound of someone rummaging through your kitchen downstairs. Your kids are at a sleepover, so you know it’s not them, and your wife is sleeping soundly next to you. You keep a gun next to your bed, so you grab it. You creep down the stairs and peer into the kitchen to see a man in a mask, filling a bag with your stuff. He sees you and raises his gun. You point yours at him, pull the trigger and… no bang. You’ve got a dead trigger. Your gun just malfunctioned. Wait… guns can malfunction? Do you know what to do?

The first time my gun malfunctioned I didn’t know what just happened. Luckily, I was in my first day of my gun training course at Dr. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training school, called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. We were just learning how to aim at a stationary target and put two bullets through the thoracic cavity of the paper man. There was no timed pressure, and I wasn’t worried about my paper man shooting back. My gun training partner, who had previously attended Front Sight, looked quickly at my gun and said, “Oh, you have a type three malfunction. Don’t worry. You are going to learn all about that and how to fix it.”

How did he KNOW that?

My Front Sight gun training instructor came over and helped me clear the malfunction and told me the same thing. Ignatius Piazza planned for this sort of thing when designing his gun training program at Front Sight.

There is NO WAY I’m going to remember all of this.

The next morning, at the Front Sight gun training range, the instructors announced that we were going to learn about the different malfunctions. They gave a quick lecture and a demonstration that made me think, “Huh? How did he do that so fast?” Step by step, we went through each gun malfunction, how to diagnose them and how to clear them.

This gun training stuff is beginning to get pretty intense. I’m starting to learn how to clear these things when the steps are being called out for us, but I don’t know if I’d be able to handle this under timed pressure in a gun fight with no one telling me what type of malfunction my gun has.

The Front Sight gun training instructors stuck with us. They didn’t give up or get frustrated when it took some of us longer to learn these difficult gun training and gun handling techniques. Ignatius Piazza really did a great job picking these guys to be Front Sight instructors. That fact was brought to life on my third day of gun training: the night gun training section.

I had my gun and my flashlight pointed in on my target. I pressed the trigger. Dead trigger. I can’t give my position away so I do what the Front Sight instructors teach: kill the light and move. Would I have been able to do what I did on day one? Heck no. But by day three, I was able to do it. I cleared that malfunction in just a few seconds… in the dark, not being able to see my gun. I stayed “alive” in that gun fight because of what Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors taught me.

Will you stay alive in your gunfight?

Confidence, Knowledge and Fun… From a Gun Training School?

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Want to increase your confidence? Want to learn more than you ever thought possible? Want to have tons of fun doing it? There is just one place you need to go. The place that I am talking about is called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and it is located in Pahrump, Nevada.

You may be doubtful about a couple things. First, how can a gun training school increase your confidence? Well, Front Sight helps you raise your confidence level in a number of ways. The first way is the most obvious. When you are more than competent in some skill, it is normal to be confident about it, right? So, if you knew how to properly and safely operate a firearm better than 99% of the gun owning population, wouldn’t you be confident about it? But let’s take it a step further. If you could shoot EXACTLY where you aim, every single time, would you be confident about your shooting skills? If you could present a weapon from a concealed holster and be ready to shoot your targets before your friends even got their hands on their guns, would you feel pretty good? The gun training instructors at Front Sight will teach you how to safely present your weapon, how to aim, shoot and hit your target accurately… and you will have the skills to do it in 1.5 seconds. How’s that for some confidence?

Next, the founder of Front Sight, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, wants you to have another kind of confidence. This confidence can only come with the comfort of skill at arms. It is the serene feeling that you KNOW you and your family are safe, no matter what happens. If someone were to break into your house or violently approach you in a parking lot, after attending a gun training course at Front Sight, you will know exactly how to handle that situation, from beginning to end… including the legal side of the spectrum. Front Sight has got all of your questions covered. After a few days with Ignatius Piazza and his team of gun training instructors, you will be ready for anything.

Front Sight will teach you more than you thought there could ever be to know about gun safety and gun handling. In just a couple of days at the gun training school, you will look back and be surprised at how much you learned. If you think you know a lot about guns now, I urge you to test your knowledge and take a course at Front Sight. I have met gun training instructors from other gun training schools that have attended one of Ignatius Piazza’s courses, and you know what they said? “I had no idea how much I didn’t know about gun training.” And THAT is coming from people that teach gun training for a living. Incredible.

Last but definitely not least, Front Sight is fun. I’d rather sit and listen to a lecture from a Front Sight instructor than do just about anything else. These guys are knowledgeable, interesting and funny… all the while teaching really important stuff about gun safety. If you are looking for a good time, I suggest checking out a gun training course at Front Sight. It’ll be your new favorite hobby… and I’m not even exaggerating.

Front Sight Gets You There

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

Many people want to get gun training, but not everyone wants to get it for the same reason. Some people want to get gun training for self defense, so they can protect themselves and their families. Other people want to get trained so they can practice their Second Amendment Rights and own a gun. Still, other people want to learn how to shoot for hunting or for sport. Then there are people who want to get gun training to learn a new skill. Some people see being able to handle a gun well as “cool” and want their peers to look up to them.

Gun Training Just For You

Friday, December 17th, 2010

I want to get some gun training but I don’t think I want the same gun training that my neighbor got. His was a little intense for me.

I think I should get self defense training but I want a higher level of training than my friend got. Hers was not complete enough for my taste.

I can’t afford the gun training my coworker got last year.

I want the best gun training money can buy!

Do any of these sounds like you? Well, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza created Front Sight Firearms Training Institute just for you. He knows that not everyone has the same self defense needs and the same available amount of time available to their schedule. He knows that not everyone makes the same amount of money. Because of this, at Front Sight, you can tailor your gun training program to fit specifically to you.

Ignatius Piazza made his gun training programs at Front Sight convenient to you, no matter what your gun training and self defense training needs and wants are. You can choose between a bunch of different gun training courses to suit your own personal ideas of what you would like. You can elect to attend a shotgun training course or a handgun training course, or you can choose to take a rifle training course or an automatic weapons training course.

No matter what you want to get out of your gun training at Front Sight, Ignatius Piazza promises you that you will get it!

Gun Training For All Types of Students

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

Different types of learning styles can greatly affect the way someone learns information. People typically learn in one of three different ways: By Hearing (auditory), By Seeing (visual), or By Doing (kinesthetic). Say two people listen to the same lecture. If one of those people is an auditory learner and one is a kinesthetic learner, the auditory learner is going to get more out of the lecture than the other person. Dr. Ignatius Piazza has made it easy for anyone who wants to get gun training to learn and actually absorb the information, regardless of anyone’s learning style. This means that when you decide you want to get gun training, it doesn’t matter how you learn best, because Ignatius Piazza has tailored his gun training school to cater to everyone.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute’s gun training instructors please auditory learners by providing awesome lectures on gun safety, how to use a gun, shooting stance and many other aspects of firearms training. The lectures are thorough and really concentrate on getting the information presented in a way everyday people can understand. (Meaning you do not have to know everything about guns to understand the lectures!) If you are a person that zones out easily during lectures, do not worry! Front Sight’s lectures are captivating and will keep your attention. The gun training instructors at Front Sight are highly trained not only in shooting technique, but also teaching technique. Even if you are like me and have an attention span of roughly six seconds, the gun training lectures at Front Sight will keep you engaged.

Maybe you want to get gun training but are a visual learner. For these people, hearing the information is great, but does not do much. Front Sight instructors demonstrate every technique in an informative and entertaining manner. Now that you have heard the proper way to handle a gun, it is time for you to see it. Instructors will show you things like exactly how to hold your gun, how to stand while prepping to shoot and how to accurately aim. You will get to see the shooting process in action, helping your mind retain the information.

Then there are people like me: kinesthetic learners. Telling me how to do something or showing me how to do something is somewhat helpful, but chances are, I will forget the information shortly. I learn best by doing. Ignatius Piazza created a hands on tactical gun training portion of his firearms training program to accommodate kinesthetic learners. Here, students learn by actually shooting guns hundreds of times. They also get to act out real life scenarios, such as robberies or muggings, so they will be better equipped to defend themselves outside of the gun training school.

Front Sight’s gun training program layers all three aspects in a precise manner, so that students can best retain what they learn. People who have attended Front Sight will agree that they learned quickly and easily and then actually remembered the stuff they learned. Whichever learning style best suits you is great. You will find it at Front Sight.

How to Shoot Like a Sniper

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Imagine yourself spending an exciting weekend, meeting new people, being close to Las Vegas, trying interesting things and learning how to save lives. Sound fun? Now imagine yourself walking away from that weekend, knowing that you can out shoot a police officer, a member of SWAT or an Army Sergeant. Did you have gun training experience before this weekend? It does not matter. Students who attend Front Sight Firearms Training Institute for a weekend self defense gun training course leave with shooting skills and gun handling abilities that surpass ninety nine percent of the gun owning population… and yes, this includes those people who use guns for a living.

Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founded Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in April of 1996. Since then, Front Sight has been the home of the world’s greatest gun training instructors who provide the best possible firearms training to law abiding citizens from all over the world. Ignatius Piazza created the gun training program at Front Sight very carefully. Before opening Front Sight and before becoming a Four Weapons Combat Master, Ignatius Piazza attended many of the most prestigious and best gun training schools available. The first disappointing fact about these schools was that they were hard to find. Ignatius Piazza searched and searched for what he was looking for and was frustrated to find that good gun training schools are practically hidden from the general public. Knowing that gun training is crucial to self defense and safety, he wanted to change that and make sure that normal people could get a hold of great gun training.

Disappointing fact number two: the gun training schools that Ignatius Piazza found were all pretty good, but they all had negative aspects. Whether the firearms training instructors were rude or information was difficult to learn or the courses were boring, there was always something that didn’t sit well with him. Ignatius Piazza took mental and physical notes on the wonderful parts and on the not so wonderful parts, and used them when he designed his gun training program at Front Sight. He included the good stuff. He threw out the bad stuff. This ended with a result of amazing and informative gun training taught through riveting lectures, intense shooting demonstrations and educational but exciting hands on tactical gun training… all taught by seasoned professionals who are interesting, fun and NICE. On top of that, Ignatius Piazza made this gun training easy to find and convenient to most people’s schedules. THEN he added other incredible staff members, so students feel comfortable and welcomed every step of the way. It really doesn’t get any better than this.

At Front Sight, students are given the greatest gun training money can buy. The courses are challenging and fast paced, but never leave anyone behind. Students emerge from a gun training course at Front Sight well versed in the art of gun training and shooting, and with skills that you have to see to believe.

You don’t have to be a sniper to shoot like one. Ignatius Piazza can make it possible.

Front Sight Instructors: Great Gun Training with a Smile

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

If you want to receive the best gun training in the world, you have got to get it from the best gun training instructors in the world. Where can I find the best gun training instructors? There is a place just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. Founded and directed by Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is home to some of the world’s greatest shooters and gun training instructors.

During the hiring process at Front Sight, Ignatius Piazza puts candidates through some rigorous gun training and shooting tests. The Gun Training Instructor course is so intense that less than ten percent of students pass it on their first try. Can you imagine if your college was like that? Think about sitting in a class of thirty, knowing that two or three of you would make it through. Sounds crazy, but you would know that that the ones that DID pass were the most qualified and tried the hardest. That is what the gun training instructor program at Front Sight is like. Only the best of the best make it through to the next round of the hiring process. It is crucial that a gun training instructor be extremely knowledgeable and experienced in how to use a gun correctly, gun safety and shooting accuracy. Ignatius Piazza is not about to let someone through if he or she does not measure up to his expectations.

In addition to this tough pre-hire gun training course, Front Sight Instructors must continue their gun training by attending ongoing Front Sight Gun Training Instructor Courses throughout their time with Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight. This is to ensure students that their instructor will always have the most up to date knowledge and shooting techniques to teach them. Instructors at Front Sight never “get too comfortable” with their craft to the point of leaving things out, taking shortcuts and forgetting to include certain points. They are always two hundred percent on top of their game, so students can be sure they are receiving the best quality gun training money can buy!

I have taken some classes in school from professors who were more than qualified to teach the courses. Insanely smart, educated and experienced, it was possible that they were the best in their fields. But their teaching skills and personal skills were horrible! It was like they concentrated so much on getting the information down that they forgot about another aspect that really matters: the students. The gun training instructors at Front Sight are not only taught some serious firearms training skills and techniques, but they are taught amazing customer service skills. Students will never get a bad attitude from one of Ignatius Piazza’s instructors. They are patient, helpful and encouraging because, you know it: a better attitude produces better results than a foul one. I don’t want to take a course from a jerk. I am sure you don’t either. At Front Sight, you don’t have to!

Gun Training That Meets MY Needs!

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

I want to take self defense classes. I want to get gun training. I want to learn how to use a knife for self defense. I want to protect my family. I want to feel safe, even when I am alone at night. I want to learn how to save lives. These are the thoughts of many Americans. However…

How often can you choose to attend some sort of self help class and have it be tailored to your own personal needs and wants? Usually, self help classes, self defense classes and any other class that is considered “useful” to American society, have a one size fits all theme. They promise you unbelievable results, but teach the course as if Student A is the same as Student B and the same as Student C and so on. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely not the same as my neighbor. Are you? How can I receive the same unbelievable results as my neighbor if we both need different things? Point blank, I can’t. Getting self defense training or gun training is a little different than trying on a scarf. I want a self defense class or a gun training class that is useful to ME.

When you were in school, were you one of the students that finished more quickly than the other students? Were you the one that took some extra time to finish your tests and projects? Were you the one that understood exactly what the teacher was saying? Or were you the one that had questions? If you had questions, did you ask them or did you keep quiet? I am here to tell you now that it does not matter what kind of student you were or are. Dr. Ignatius Piazza’s staff at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is going to address every single one of your needs, making sure you get the best possible result from your gun training. You know how I said I want self defense or gun training that is useful to me? Ignatius Piazza makes sure of that. No matter who you are or where you are, Ignatius Piazza will tailor your gun training and other self defense training courses so that YOU benefit. If you are the slowest learner or the fastest learner in the class, you are going to get results. If you are average, you are going to get results. If you have never touched a gun, you are going to get results. If you have shot guns regularly for twenty some odd years, you are going to get results.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is the number one gun training school in the world. For over fourteen years, Ignatius Piazza and his team of gun training instructors have been providing the highest caliber gun training to all law abiding citizens that have wanted to try, no matter if they were already experts or complete beginners. Each gun training course provides students with just what they need to learn as effectively as possible. Every Front Sight student receives personal gun training instruction, so that they can focus on their weaknesses and make their strengths even stronger.

At Front Sight, it does not matter how fast or how slow you learn. Whatever your learning speed, whatever your gun training needs, whatever your goals are, Ignatius Piazza is going to help you succeed.
