Front Sight is an organization that teaches people how to use firearms. The organization has been in existence since 1996 when its founder, Ignatius Piazza, began to offer classes in Bakersfield, California. In 1998, the organization acquired a 500-acre property in Nye County, Nevada, and their operations gradually moved there. The Bakersfield operations were closed down in 2002. Today, the goal of the organization is to train it students in how to use firearms and Frontsight ammo.

The company seeks to change the public perception of firearms and gun ownership in America. Many people have negative opinions of those who own guns. Many gun control advocates and political pressure groups seek to curtail gun sales and distribution in the United States. Americans have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U. S. Constitution.

In 2004, the organization acquired property in the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. This location is known as Front Sight Alaska. Its focus is on outdoorsmanship and activities like big game hunting, kayaking, fishing and bear safety. The organization is continuing to expand. In March 2014, it broke ground on a new condo and time share hotel.

The company also offered free machine gun classes at its new Nevada facility for a brief time from 1998 to 2002. This was done in order to showcase the new facility and headquarters. Every year, a reunion is held on July 4 in celebration of Independence Day, where members are invited to spend a day of activities such as shooting weapons, fireworks and catered food.

Many students bring their own firearms to the classes, however, some choose to rent them from the Pro Shop at the facility while doing the courses. Once you have taken courses, you can become a member there. Nearly ten percent of people who attend a course there become lifetime members. The organization offers lifetime memberships to First Family people with various degrees of entitlement. Most membership packages are available through their website, but some are only offered to those on their e-mail newsletter list.

The organization has also been involved in community activism. Since 2002, it has offered gun training to pilots. It also supports the Federal Flight Deck Officer Program. The organization also made the news for offering free firearms training to school teachers. This came in the wake of several school shootings that happened in the U. S. The organization felt that firearms training would help teachers better protect themselves and other students. The free training is offered to three teachers at each school.

The organization has several different supporters and donors. It receives support from the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership as well as the Gun Owners of America group. Another one of its supporters is the Friends of the NRA.

Big game and bird hunting is also taught at the institution. Many courses tend to focus on outdoor recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking for those people who may not want to focus solely on using firearms. Some people live in counties in which bear attacks are a threat, so the institute also offers a course on bear safety, particularly for the Alaska division, for people who want to learn to protect themselves.
