Hi, again. Let’s take a quick review at where we are in my saga. (Random fact: If you Google “define saga” the first definition that comes up is “A long story of heroic achievement.” I kind of consider this story of my first visit to Front Sight Firearms Training Institute applicable. After all, Front Sight trains heroes.) Okay so my friend and I checked into Front Sight, the gun training instructors were epic, the lectures were incredible thus far and I was the worst shooter in the world.
One of the things about Front Sight’s gun training instructors is that they train you to not only be a perfect shooter, but they also train you to have confidence in yourself and in your shooting. Front Sight can train you to be a perfect shooter even if you are as bad as I was in the beginning. Founder and director of Front Sight, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, trained his gun training instructors well in all areas of gun training, including having exceptional customer service and a caring attitude. They work hard at helping their students embrace what they are good at in order to improve and perfect the things that they are not so good at. By encouraging a student’s strengths, that student gains a confidence that they could not have gained if the gun training instructors simply said, “We need to work on such and such.”
Ignatius Piazza’s instructors helped me find my strength: my presentation speed. What does that mean? That means that I was able to have my gun out of the holster and ready to shoot faster than some of the guys could get their hands on their guns. No kidding. This surprised me (and I think it surprised my friend, as well.) Well, my gun training instructors noticed that and they encouraged me and helped me get faster and better at presenting my weapon, so when it came time to actually shoot, I had way more time to focus and more confidence in my abilities. I was still shooting off target, but my confidence was growing and my instructors kept working with me. I felt like I was getting a private shooting lesson from a gun training instructor. But you know what? I asked around, and everyone else in my class felt the same way. Somehow, one range master and two gun training instructors made all of us students feel like we were the only kid in class. How great is that?
So why was I still shooting off target? My gun training instructors honed my skills so that I had more than enough time to aim. Have you ever heard the term “mashing the trigger?” Yeah… I was doing that. But we will go more into that later. Right now I want to tell you about one of the coolest features of Front Sight: the home invasion scenario. Yes, I literally got to walk through a house and shoot bad guys and save good guys. Did I mention that Front Sight is FUN, as well as helpful? Join me in The Chronicles of Front Sight: My Experience, Part Four to hear all about it.

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.

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.
