I have been a firearms enthusiast for 40 years. I am a retired police officer from central New Jersey. I carry a concealed firearm on a daily basis. I was a firearms instructor for my agency for the last 10 years of my career instructing hand gun, rifle and shot gun. You could say my police training was deficient; OR you could say that Front Sight is just a better training facility than ANY government agency can ever be because politics and money rules the day. Either way, been a member of Front Sight since 2012. Between then and 2018 my fiancee and I had been there 11 times traveling from New Jersey. To say we liked it is a clear understatement. We have trained in handgun and rifle at Front Sight and are hoping to go there for an extended time to do handgun, rifle and shotgun all in one trip. We have brought kids, friends, parents with us and not one person has ever had less than a great experience! We prefer the Friday-Monday course. We arrive the Wednesday before, shop at walmart the day we arrive and then on Thursday hang out, go shooting in the desert etc... Then we leave the Wednesday after the course is done taking the Tuesday after as a chill day. You can go visit Vegas those days if you prefer, but neither of us like the city. If you are passive about your training, this is probably not the place for you. The training days are very long and intense. About 600 rounds for the 4 day defensive hand gun course and the same amount for a skill builder course. Be prepared for changing weather. We had 1 time in late April that day 1 was 96 degrees. On day 4 it snowed/rained/iced on us during the skills test. We have been there when the temp was in the 20's and we have experienced 115 degrees with hot oven 20mph winds. But the surroundings are always gorgeous with up close views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains right in front of you. It is not militaristic and is not intended to be militaristic. But occasionally, you'll find the odd instructor that might be having a bad week. Our overall experience has been that the entire staff is friendly, helpful, courteous, immensely safe and even comical. Thats right there is quite a bit of levity and a number of these guys that could probably be successful stand up comics. They all have a passion on imparting their skills to the students. The people who attend the courses are from all walks of life and from all over the country. Predominately everyone is very courteous and everyone is completely enjoying a mutual past time. If you are a couple, do yourself a favor and do not work together. Work next to each other, but pick a different partner. I've seen more than once that someone gets a bit too critical and one person walks off frustrated and hurt. The first day you go, go EARLY. Be first or nearly first in the waiting line on day 1 which will allow you to take everything in, get checked in, get your range assignments, weapons and holster inspection done and that'll leave you a little time to breath before gathering in the large classroom. We would leave the Saddle West hotel in Pahrump at 5:15AM on day 1. The rest of the days you can show up at the last minute, but day 1 I strongly recommend being in the front of the line. For regular shooters: be patient. Day 1 may seem a little slow, but if you are willing to check your ego at the door and are not a navy seal, you'll learn something...maybe, like me, a lot! My biggest piece of advice is to go with their suggestions for the time you are there. They build upon the teaching each day that goes by. When you get home you can decide what you'd like to change. But while you are there you are learning superior skills while maintaining safety among 40 shooters all at once. Understand that they must help all skill levels and still maintain safety. I cannot say enough about the training and the overall experience, so to read a few of the negative comments made me feel the need to set the record straight with detail. You will notice that the overwhelming (98%-99% I think) majority of the comments are extremely positive. If you had a bad experience, you probably ought to look in the mirror for the reason why. For food: we always on line ordered from the Beach cafe. A little pricey maybe, but you won't go hungry as the box lunch has plenty of food in it; and the simplicity of having your food waiting for you in a box with your name on it in the classroom we just found to be so easy. One less thing to worry about. Last bit of advice: Front Sight provides a wealth of information as to how to prepare for the course, what to bring and what to expect. Read all of this information as it is invaluable. Finally remember this: HARD FOCUS ON THE FRONT SIGHT!.....AND PRESSSSSSSS

We stayed for three nights for our inaugural RVing trip. The staff was very friendly, letting us pick our spot; one that was easy to back in a travel trailer. It is a very quite park with lots of trees and a beautiful little lake. Quite unexpected in the middle of the desert. The park is very well maintained with great WI-Fi, clean restrooms and attentive security. The park is a bit out of town so the on site casino with a convenience store/gas station and cafe are nice to have nearby. We are returning in August.

Visited my friends who were in the RV Resort while I stayed in the hotel. Beyond clean. Very quiet, even late at night. Staff was responsive.
