Bulls Eye Shooter

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Dr. Piazza,

Thanks I have received the second report. These reports are informative and I am sending on to some of my friends that I shoot with. I have been involved in bulls eye shooting for over 20 years and have done some high power rifle shooting. A bunch of years ago our group had Carlos Hathcock as a guest speaker. He was a very interested person and the day a few of us spent with him before his speech will never be forgotten.

Thanks

Blind Self Defense

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Dr. Ignatius Piazza,

Thank you very much. So far, I like what I hear, and as a blind person, I’m so glad you offer “hand-to-hand” training. I’ve been an assault victim before, and I believe what you may have to offer is what I need. There are lots of blind people who could benefit so much from what you have to offer, and I’d love to see you offer courses especially for blind people, so we can gain more self confidence and assertiveness when handling threatening situations.

Again, thank you.

Second Amendment Goals

Dr. Piazza,

As the father of a North Las Vegas police officer who is also a member of SWAT, brother of a retired California Highway patrol Lieutenant, I have some understanding of the information you have so far presented, but frankly, I feel that my son would greatly benefit from attendance at your classes and am encouraging him to do so. He has some military training having been in the Army, and furthering his training while there.

I have five children, three of whom are married and with children, so given the environment of today, from what I have so…

A Marine’s Response

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Dr. Piazza has done it!

He has spread the word to the masses which has been the key to my success with teaching Marine Corps marksnamnship for the last 19 years! As a recruit at Parris Island years ago my Primary Marksmanship Instructor instilled in me the importance of the front sight as it pertains to marksmanship. Later, as a Primary Marksmanship Instructor myself, I had stunning succes with this same concept. To bring it all full circle, as the SNCOIC of the Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay Pistol Range, this is a standard we train to when teaching…

Response to Gun Training Report 10

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Dr. Piazza,

I just finished reading Report #10 and think that you have captured the essence of matching firearms training and the necessary mindset to go with it into what is needed by anyone who is serious about self defense.

The most important 6 inches in self defense seems to me to be the area between your ears. If you can keep that from going foggy, maybe have some rote memorized reactions to a scenario and keep the necessary mindset to not lose you have a better chance of protecting yourself and your loved ones.

I am looking forward to…

Here are two, very candid reports from students who attended
courses at Front Sight in April. Pay close attention to
Report #1.  It can’t get any more honest than this…

Report #1:

Dear Dr Piazza,

I have resisted sending you an email because I know you
receive so, so many of them.  However, even a month after
taking the Four Day Defensive Handgun course I find I am
still just as excited as the day I returned home to North
Carolina.

So now I thought I would share with you, as…

Response to Gun Training Reports 1 & 2

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Dr. Ignatius Piazza,

I am receiving the reports and have read #’s 1 & 2. I am finding them very informative and interesting, and have sent my son the link. We both have handguns and permits to carry, and we go to our local indoor range weekly to practice. I sent him your link. Going to the range gives us experience and practice, and some time together as well. Thank you for what you are doing and I look forward to getting my next report. When people look strangely at me when I say that my son and I went to…

Law Enforcement Firearms Training

Thursday, May 17th, 2007
Dr. Piazza,I am interested in taking defensive handgun course. Where exactly is your training center located?

I am a current law enforcement officer who is having difficulty qualifying with my duty weapon.

Do you think this course would be helpful to me?

Kim

Dear Kim,

We are near Las Vegas, NV.

We have had numerous officers in your same situation actually shoot high score in the next qualification AFTER attending our four day course.

The most remarkable situation was a corrections officer who was near suspension because she could not qualify with the Mini-14 rifle and after our course not only…

Left Eye Dominant Shooting

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007
Dr. Piazza,I am impressed with what I have received so far. The courses I would like to take but I have one problem and that is I have MS. It has affected my right eye which is my main shooting capability. I have been trying to adjust to my left eye and left hand. I am a little hesitant to waste your time and the time of your instructors until I can get comfortable with my left. Every thing I used to do with my right I am having to learn with my left. I have been spreading the word…

NRA Police Distinguished Medal Recipient Response

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Dr. Piazza:

I have enjoyed reading your insight to firearms training.  As a retired Police Officer and and avid shooter, you have a great  insight to teaching.  I have been to a number of firearms schools, and have received the NRA Police Distingushed Medal, and think you have a great system for teaching.

I hope to be able to attend one of your classes.

Look forward to meeting you in the future.

John
