No, but they are scheduled for the same money.

I wonder if you knocked off the amount that goes to the Scientologists how much a 4-day at Frontsight would cost...

Good school, but they've threatened websites and writers with lawsuits for criticizing their Scientology connections and questioning some of 'Naish's heavy-handed tactics (there was a long series of threads about their intimidation practices on the old TheFiringLine.com site, with various supporting links. You should still be able to search through the archives for it even though the site is closed. IIRC, the owner of Glock Talk had to ban any threads about Frontsight because 'Naish threatened to sue him over some threads.)

I personally don't give a rat's hindquarters about Scientology, but it does bother me that a school I attended and gave money to would engage in intimidation of firearms forum owners.

This is the first I ever heard of this Scientology connection. My big problem with Frontsight is the high pressure hype sales. I'm a big boy and can say no but when I get that type of sales pitch repeatedly I start to wonder if it's on the up and up. Of course attending the school and seeing the professionalism and the building going on gives me comfort that my initial insticts were not correct.

I heard about lawsuits against former employees/employee who was spreading "rumors about frontsight" but didn't really pay any attention to it.

Scientology is pretty kooky but no more kooky than some of the other things some gun folks are into.

I take the criticisms of frontsight with a grain of salt as I don't really know what the story is. Piazza is a Chiropractor and they are some very anal people so you are bound to have ticked of former associates even if he was opening a hamburger stand.

I consider frontsight or any other firearms school to be in the same category as the continuing ed. classes my wife has to take to keep her Physical Therapy license.

Those classes cost between 300-400 dollars a day. When I look at it in those terms the prices at Frontsight are right in line with other training courses in other disciplines.
