Where To Find Frontsight Ammo

By Ina Hunt


Finding ammunition in large quantities is becoming more difficult every day. Many people choose to stock pile sufficient amounts of ammunition to ensure availability for hunting or range shooting. Others keep large amounts available for competition shooting matches or qualification matches for law enforcement. Frontsight ammo is a viable retail and online resource for all of these situations.

Front Sight Firearms was started in 2011 because Russel May, the man who owns the company noticed that the cost of weapons and ammunition was becoming far too expensive for the average citizen to purchase. The reason for this price increase was attributed to extraordinarily high demand and dwindling supplies of these items. The solution he found was to create a company that could purchase these items in large numbers in an effort to lower retail prices to his customers.

As part of their program this company offers training boot camps in Nevada for weapons enthusiasts. In the camps they attempt to train participants in safe and effective use of their weapon of choice. Those enrolled are required to supply the ammunition used during their training. There are several different courses offered and every course requires a specific number of rounds to be purchased prior to beginning the classes. The number needed can be as high as sixteen hundred if the participant is using a semi-automatic weapon.

The type of bullets allowed is strictly supervised as a safety measure. They will not allow any type of reloaded bullet to be used because reloaded rounds have a higher chance of exploding when used. This catastrophic firearm failure can be caused by the variable amount of powder in the reload, using a case that is the wrong size or a case that is weakened from prior use. The rule is that all rounds must be new, factory made bullets from acceptable manufacturers.

Only metal jacketed rounds are allowed to be used on the courses. They cannot be steel jacketed bullets or any other kind of incendiary round including tracer rounds. Lead rounds are acceptable as long as they have metal jackets.

There are specific manufacturers that are recommended for purchase by the course instructors. Remington, Winchester and Speer are among them. These brands can be purchased in must sporting goods stores or pro shops. Those who prefer to purchase their ammunition from local retail outlets may be confronted with the problem of transporting and storing them to the training site. If you purchase it from Front Sight Pro Shops they will store it at the site until you arrive for your training.

Another option is to purchase the ammunition you need after you arrive from other retail sites but many times the amount needed may be difficult to accumulate. Many clients purchase the ammunition needed and have it shipped to their hotel for storage under their name.

When he began the business in 2011 Mr. May set a goal of supplying the highest quality products for the lowest possible prices for his customers. In the five years he has been operating his company he has been able to meet that goal and watch his company grow and expand to the level of success it maintains today.
