Dear Dr. Piazza,

I have just finished Newsletter Number Twelve and cannot believe your generosity.  However, you did ask for folks who would not take advantage of your kind offer to write and explain why.  I am doing just that.

First, I would like to express my appreciation for your WONDERFUL lessons you have sent me free of charge.  I MUST SAY, that I have been overwhelmed at the information contained in just these lessons.  I have learned so very much.  I have a member of my church with whom I have been sharing what I have been learning.  I…

Dr. Piazza.

Thank you for your gun training reports, especially number 6.

While I have made the determination that I will not hesitate to use deadly force,if necessary, what you have just shared with me is very sobering.

I realize just taking a Concealed Weapons Permit course is not enough.

I now know I have a lot more to learn.

Jack,

The first step in gaining expertise in any field is realizing you have much more to learn.

We’ve all been there.

Front Sight stands ready, willing, and able to assist you.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza,

I am 100 percent in agreement with the value of dry practice. It teaches good sight picture, surprise trigger break, and it is next to impossible to develop bad habits caused by report or recoil. I went over a year without shooting at all, and was signed up for a shooting course. I used what little time I had between changing careers, moving to new employment, etc. to practice for the course using dry fire techniques. The first time I shot was the qualifier, and I shot 290 out of a possible 300. The value of good…

Dr. Piazza,

I didn’t realize the importance of the mindset issue, but you are right.

Most people operate like they’re in a cloud, in their own special world.

Your reports are great!

Oh! By the way, I spoke to my local police officer and asked him to check out your web site. As soon as I mentioned “Front Sight” he said he already knew about  it and heard nothing but good reports.

Dr. Piazza,

I have been receiving the reports and enjoy the quick tips.  I have ordered the set of firearms training manuals so I can get started reviewing the techniques and making sure my dry practice is in correct form.

Thanks for providing this information, it is appreciated.

IN RESPONSE TO OUR “GUN SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS” PRESS RELEASE:

Dr. Piazza,

I am glad someone is taking a stand on this. It needs to become an open debate all across our nation. I had an experience when I was 17 at my High School. A fellow student was having trouble in a class and did not like the teacher. He failed the class and was out for revenge. I saw him enter the building with a compound bow and a quiver of hunting arrows, he had made remarks about making the teacher look like a pin cushion. I had…

Dr. Piazza,

Report #3 was great information. I am retired and live on Social Security, but I love recreational shooting and you have shown me how to practice cheaply. I don’t know how much your course costs, but it looks like it is well worth the money invested. I hope someday I can take it.

Jack

In response to our Awarding Scholarships to  the survivors of the VT Massacre:

What a grand and noble gesture to reward a hero and allow survivors the chance to acquire a skill set that may one day prove extremely valuable. God bless you Dr. Piazza!

D. Williams

Dr. Piazza,

I can’t thank you enough for making this exciting and important information available.

Yesterday, I ordered the Dry Training manual. I have been doing my own dry training in my garage for several months as it seemed to me to be a good idea to practice possible scenarios about real life and I am anxious to read about and practice the “real thing”.

I look forward to reading more as it comes in.
