I purchased a shotgun about seven years ago for home defense. I had minimal experience using the firearm &#8212; mostly trap shooting &#8212; and intended to register for some sort of training, possibly at a local range. That didn&#8217;t happen. I&#8217;m glad it didn&#8217;t. I am certain whatever is available locally will be sub-standard compared to Front Sight. As I looked around the Front Sight campus, noting the check-in procedure, layout, berms, and ranges, the adjective I kept using was &#8220;smart.&#8221; Everything seemed carefully planned. The focus on safety, safety, safety eased my mind about being among so many armed strangers, and I appreciated the attitude of being trained for defense, not offense. What made my experience superb were the interactions with range master\/instructor. I will continue encouraging those in my circles to register for Front Sight training. The campus and education are incredible. Instructors like Frank make it exceptional. Thank you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Kevin D<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am certain whatever is available locally will be sub-standard compared to Front Sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,1,15],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11334,"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333\/revisions\/11334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
