Wish I had seen this months ago. Want to add a little info to what FreeInAZ said.
I have been at Front Sight several times. Its only 18 mile away. 99% of the people I talk to are out of state many of them come every year. With training near most that shoot making the trip to Front Sight shows how much they like Front Sight training.
Some weekends they will have over 1000 students the place is huge and there is no waiting if you need a little one on one with an instructor. The training goes like clockwork. Very little down time from training. Family friendly no drill sergeant type training.
I checked out the AzCDL store a real bargain for the memberships. For the first visits best to plan doing the non-perquisites classes. Skill test are done during the four day classes a passing grade is needed for the advance classes. Non-perquisites classed are, four and two day defensive hand gun classes. Two and four day M16. Two and four day practical rifle. Tactical Shotgun is two and four day. They have youth safety, Rope and rappel, Hand to hand, Edge weapons. I believe they are all two day.
They supply the targets, tape, chairs, shade, drinking water and great training. The only camping they have is a large hard pack dirt lot with no services. During the cooler months there is always a few camping. Pahrump Nv 18 miles away has everything, RV parking and resorts, hotels, Wall-mart, Casinos.
There is a $50 charge for a background check for each student. Does not matter if they have had one or law enforcement. Everyone gets a background check. The check is once a year good from Jan 1 to the next Jan 1.
At one of the training I was at there was a lady who had never shot she was in her late 50s. She rented everything, gun, holster, ear protection. At first she could hardly pull the slid back. At the end of 4 days she was pulling the firearm out of the holster putting a controlled pair in the kill zone in just over 3 seconds at 30 feet.
Here is the amazing thing on the weekends with 1000 student’s people everywhere carrying guns. The rule is the firearms have been cleared of their mags and ammo unless on the range, however everyone has them on them. Guns, rifles ammo carried by 1000 people at the same place. Men, Woman, and kids. No one is shot. No nasty guns that jumps out of their hiding place and without any influence from a human start shooting at people. No arguments over parking spaces, People leave their stuff at the range during lunch time no one bothers it. I talk to one of the main ammo suppliers for Front Sight he estimates there is around one million rounds fired at Front Sight a month on the busy months. How would the antis explain that? Million rounds fired no one shot.
