I am thinking a lot about this and I am wondering what they pay? Providing I am accepted as an instructor, let's say total noob, what would they pay? I emailed Dr. Piazza about hours and he said they have as many hours as I could work, but I don't know how much they pay? I have military and hunting experience and I often help others when we go shooting.
Any instructors care to share, even if you PM me or email? Thanks snackdog at rocketmail . com |

Do I have this correct?
You are not an experienced firearms instructor and he is offering you a position? I would think he would be looking for professional instructors with considerable experience. Was there just a telephone conversation/casual email, or have you submitted a resume with your certifications and professional experience? I think you need to ask him first what you could expect as job responsibilities so you can be sure he is offering what you desire, and also ask what pay he will be offering to be sure it fits your expectations. |

They offer a really thorough training program. You can read about it on their sight. http://www.frontsight.com/courses/instructor-gun-trainer.asp
I have no doubts I can do this, I have been in many different positions in which I have been training people. I just need to know what type of income I can expect. |

Then the second half of my reply reworded.
Ask him. Here is the fine print: "How to Enroll E-mail your resume, outlining your firearms training instructional experience to [email protected]. If your resume is accepted, we will invite you to the Four Day Instructor Development Course. " More fine print: "We provide our Instructor Development Course to build Front Sight`s instructional staff. We are not interested in building your skills so that you can use them elsewhere. *We will ask you to sign a non-competition agreement stating that you will teach for Front Sight exclusively and for no other private firearms school. Full-time law enforcement and military instructors are welcome to apply. Similarly, part-time NRA, Boy Scouts of America, or CCW instructors are welcome to apply." *The duration of the non-compete clause is important... such as while you are part of their staff or is it a lifetime agreement you are signing as to non-compete. (In other words you are signing a legal document stating you will never professionally -for pay- instruct firearms for anyone but Front Sight.) |

Sorry, got sidetracked by my son and missed the second part of your reply. I am going to ask, I just like to get all of the info I can.
Thanks. ***EDIT*** I'll also find out about the non compete clause. Thanks again. I don't mind signing one, as long as there is a time limit. |

I too thought about teaching there as well for a bit. I spoke to Brad Ackman about it a few years ago,
and from what I remember about it, you have the 4 day Instructor Development course that is basically a 4 day job interview. If you pass that, you are made a line coach. Or possibly an instructor depending upon your performance and experience. After that you work your way into instructor, and eventually Range master. They do have full time maintence / part instructor positions open from time to time, and they also had some travel trailers on site that they try to get guys to live in to watch the place at night. Or they did, I do not know if they still do. Needless to say, I did not take the job, as I am from TN and I did not feel the money they offered was enough to entice me to move all the way across the country. Regards, Scott |
