Front Sight Firearms Training Institute

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, also known as Front Sight and as Front Sight Resorts was founded in 1996 by Dr. Ignatius Piazza. It is a privately owned and operated organization whose purpose is to two-fold: 1) to provide training, mostly on how to safely operate firearms in self-defense settings, also referred to as providing "comfort of skill at arms", and 2) an activism goal to "positively change the image of gun ownership in our lifetimes" by repudiating unfavorable views of gun owners put forth by various private gun control, and political, organizations.
==Locations==
Front Sight currently operates two locations, its main location near Las Vegas, Nevada, and a summer facility on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.
The original Front Sight facility was located on rented property near Bakersfield, California.〔(Web Archive Snapshot - Front Sight in Bakersfield )〕 and operated from 1996 until 2002.
In 1998, a property in Nye County, between Las Vegas, Nevada and Pahrump, Nevada (near Nevada State Route 160 and Tecopa Road) was purchased and the operation gradually moved there. This location, called "Front Sight Nevada", provides facilities for training in firearms as well as climbing, rappelling, and other forms of self-defense.〔(A 'Sun City' for Gun Enthusiasts ) New York Times Article retrieved April 5, 2008.〕
The Front Sight Nevada facility is still under development. As of June 2014 the facility includes a classroom area that can seat 450-students, 24 shooting ranges for handgun, rifle, and shotgun (with both static and moving targets), 8 live fire simulator ranges with shooting house, underground training simulators, a gunsmithing facility and armory, a martial arts and edged weapons gym, a rope, rappel and climb facility including zip lines, a pro shop, and food service for breakfast and lunch. An additional 26 shooting ranges are currently under construction. These ranges will expand Front Sight’s capacity to 50 total ranges capable of training up to 2000 students on the property at the same time〔(Front Sight Facilities ) Retrieved July 1, 2014.〕
In early 2004, Front Sight also acquired an extensive property on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. The Alaska location, called "Front Sight Alaska", previously focused on outdoorsmanship and includes training and activities such as big game hunting, fishing, kayaking, and bear safety.,〔(Front Sight Alaska )〕 but from lack of student demand, has scaled back many of these classes. Front Sight Alaska has very little onsite development at this time except the ranges. There is no armory, gun smith, pro shop or food services.
In early 2012, Texas news sources revealed preliminary agreements had been signed for a Front Sight Texas campus, to be located in East Montgomery County.〔(The Courier of Montgomery County, February 10, 2012, "Wakeboard park, shooting range coming to East County" ), retrieved July 5, 2014〕〔(Tribune article Feb. 20, 2012 ) – East Montgomery County Improvement District announces preliminary agreement with Front Sight Firearms Training Centers.〕 Front Sight ultimately opted not to open a third facility at this time but instead focused on completing the Nevada complex.
