    There are no lodgings onsite. The closest is Pahrumph, about 20 minutes away. They are all familiar with Font Sight customers. You could stay in Vegas but it's 45-55 minutes away.
    There is a company that supplies ammo onsite or a truck at the turnoff of the main highway. The links they send when you register for a course are very helpful.

    I took my wife to the 2day defensive handgun course first and she really liked it and insisted on doing the 4 day course next. After doing bith, she said she would have rather just done the 4 day. She now shoots USPSA local matches with me and really enjoys them...makes it much easier to buy gun stuff! ;-)

    What state are you in? I'm not sure about front sight but I know of a place in Camden tn that has numerous training courses and also offers mobile courses in cities on a training circuit. It is called tactical response.

    I work with some guys who got there high risk civilian contractor training through them and they give them props. I know they offer beginner all the way to high expertise transition and executive protection courses.

    My daughter and I went in 2010 and took the intermediate pistol class. We stayed at the Best Western. Well worth the trip and cost. Nothing like 5 days of shooting and bonding with your daughter. Even a set in there ways person like me picked up quite allot of new and useful information.

    Better options:

    Thunder Ranch® Oregon & Thunder Ranch® Texas
    http://www.gunsite.com/main/

    I've checked them all out and would choose either of the two over Frontsight. NRA has recently developed an advanced pistol course. They accept training from Thunder Ranch or Gunsite. They DO NOT accept training from Frontsite.

    Be careful who you train with. There are some facilities out there that are frequented by "mall ninjas" and will teach you very bad habits.
