Targets are the same for all courses. I brought home a few targets that I can copy. I DGd on handgun, rifle, and shotgun so I can train whomever needs help to pass it.
I scanned the thoracic cavity portion and turned it into a PDF. I’ll post it later so people can print as many copies as they want for practicing. The head is just a box so I figured that it isn’t as critical to get the target into the perfect shape.
No modern firearms training program should be utilizing the terms Controlled or Hammer Pairs. That terminology should have been laid to rest well over a decade ago for good reason. I still cringe at the name Front Sight. I know the Hawaii connection to that place and perhaps the logistics, but I know you are serious about your training, so go back to Sig, or there are at least 20 other places minimum I could suggest over FS.
I think that the training at FS for the introductory courses is extremely dated. In that respect, I agree with you and I went into it knowing full well that I would probably not learn much. I ended up learning a lot, but it wasn’t a result of their instruction. It was nice to be able to get a ton of reps in, which we can’t get on island as civilians. I also got a chance to practice at various distances that I wouldn’t be able to practice at normally; the 25 yard bullseye range at Koko Head is pretty limiting and indoor ranges can get expensive quickly.
FS also has rifle ranges that go out to almost 1,000 yards so I would be really looking forward to trying that out.
I’m not endorsing FS in any way, but it’s basically free training (excluding the cost of ammo). Also, it gives me another reason to visit my dad in Phoenix, which isn’t very far from Vegas/Pahrump. I’d probably pay a decent amount of money to someone who could provide quality private training locally, but I don’t know anyone that could host at a suitable venue.
