How many rounds did you fire in this 4 day course?

[eldogg4life]

@themattlyone 7 to 8 hundred

[tool4rage]

Was the course a gift? If not, how on earth did you get to go for free? I'd give my left you know what (pinky toe) to go for free :D

@tool4rage I did a google search for Front Sight & came across a member who had a birthday party planned there who could invite 40 people for a class. The catch was 20 of those people had to be first timers & since the guy didn't know anyone personally he posted the opening on calguns. I responded thinking the slots would be filled but they weren't & he signed me up. I was fortunate to find the page. I bought him some ammo out of appreciation & became a member soon after. Worth it!

You can can't make something out of something that isn't there. So what if there wasn't as many blacks a Front sight. It's open to everyone. If they want to come then they will come. I'm black and I when I growing up I went to an all white beach for years. (Because I loved that particular beach) You can't stop going to places just because you want to see diversity, Remember what you're going for ? Good training so you can use a handgun , Rifle etc effectively and safely.

@SNSW1 I was simply making an observation. I don't think anyone can use a lack of diversity as a reason to avoid FS. I've been to FS many times since & have seen diverse crowds. If it were my business I would target my advertisements to tap into untapped markets. Guns & the shooting sports have long been enjoyed predominately by white middle aged males. Which is great but to grow the sport & promote the 2nd Amendment you have to diversify & reaching out to women & minorities is smart.

@defritzel I don't know anyone who paid 2,000 for a course. Everyone I know either got to go free the first time (like I did) or they bought a membership (like I did agterwards). A membership allows you to go as many times as possible so how much you go determines the value of your membership. Front Sight is still growing. They now have bathrooms and a truck where you can purchase breakfast and lunch. Most people still bring their own food to save cash so things work out anyways.

$2000.00 for 4 days of training and there is no bathroom and they don't provide lunch?? I don't think so......

@4lifeadventure Acknowledging that a minority group is not represented is as bad as racism? Maybe you should make a distinction between acknowledging something and condoning it. Understanding demographics and race relations is vital to ensuring that all men are treated equally. I explicitly say I do not think their lack of representation equates to racism on Front Sight's behalf only that they are huge demographics which can be tapped into to encourage more new shooters which is FS's goal.

@eldogg4life hand gun class had a bunch of old unattractive white women. Later you said that you basically felt better because you found some black people in a different class. Diversity is in ideas not you need to have 5 blacks, 3 Asian, 2 American Natives, 1 Pacific Islander, 3 whites and 2 Brazilians. I never inter a room and ask where is all the Minorities. I would submit that view is just as destructive as the Country Club Golf morons that exclude any race for club membership.
