I just came back from a 2-day Skills Builder class at Frontsight, Nevada and relayed my experience in another thread. Several folks expressed interest in attending Frontsight perhaps as a USACarry group, which would be a lot of fun (meet the folks you've been yakking to on this site, have a great time together at Frontsight). So...
I contacted Frontsight about the possibility and this is what I found (if I understood everything correctly):
1) Any first-time student for $500 can purchase a certificate to attend the 4-day defensive handgun course. Conversely, the same certificate could be used by 2 people to attend the 2-day defensive course.
2) For $900, you can purchase 2 certificates and get a 3rd one free (so, here, 3 people could pitch in $300 a piece). After this initial purchase of $900, each additional certificate is $300.
I believe I understood FS to say that all students who purchase/split these certificates must attend the same course at the same time. That's ok, cause that's what we're trying to do, here.
So, it seems to me that if we put a group together to go to Frontsight, we could get the course for $250-$300 a pop, assuming most of the group are 1st-time students Seems like a good deal to me. Transportation and hotel expenses could also be shared.
If ayone is interested, let me know on this thread, and I'll try to put this together (unless someone else likes doing this kind of crap!). FYI, I'm a life-member at Fronsight which means two things: I obviously recommend FS and I won't need to pay $300. We'd have to coordinate and pick dates and all that, but it could be a hoot.
Interest?
