The way we aim our firearm is an area that sees constant improvement. Over a decade ago rifle optics went through significant changes with the introduction of red dot sights. These sights offered a tremendous advantage in speed, accuracy, and application. Unfortunately, back then, optics for pistols were not as easy to set up or robust enough for every day use.

This class will focus on the draw to first-round hits from concealment unless you have an open rig. We will work on proximal extension relative to the attacker, using the red dot to the most significant advantage at different distances, multiple hand positions that the armed citizen encounters during a fight, and stacking complex cognitive tasks under pressure. Biomechanics of movement and the neuroscience of the decisional process and training methodologies will be explored. If you shoot competitively or carry a pistol for personal protection you will benefit from this class.

Times have changed and now most companies offer pistols ready to accept red dot sights straight from the factory. We now have a wide selection of red dot sights that are ready for every day carry.

Red dot sights offer a number of advantages for the pistol shooter.

The most important is "target focus" which allows the shooter to clearly see the target with a red dot superimposed on it.

Secondly, the red dot is simpler to understand. With the red dot you are only "placing a dot" on the target. With iron sights you have three planes of focus which is obviously not as simple when compared.

Next, you have the ease when dealing with certain vision issues during shooting and it is found to be easier when dealing with difficult positions.

Last, is the ability to "track" in recoil and transitions. That bright red paintbrush of the red dot optic is hard to miss.

All of these factors are significant advantages for the shooter but IT WILL require an understanding of the red dot sighting system.

This class will prepare you to get the most out of the red dot sights and introduce you to a training methodology that will allow you to take advantage of these benefits. This class will also help avoid time consuming mistakes in your training while learning the use of red dots.

The following subjects will be covered:

Finding the dot during the draw

Repeatable draws and reference points

Target focus and using stereoscopic vision

Zeros/Holdovers at different distances

Ammo makes a difference

Precision and speed

Proper settings for the brightness of the red dot sight

Wet optics and downed optic drills

Positional shooting advantages

Tracking in recoil and transitions

Interpreting and processing the information available
