Intro to Red Dot
đź”°Â What is the Intro to Red Dot class?
Intro to Red Dot is your starting point for running a pistol-mounted red dot the right way. This half-day class breaks down the fundamentals of red dot shooting with clear explanations, focused reps, and simple drills that actually make sense.
Led by a veteran with military and law enforcement experience, you’ll get real-world instruction in a supportive, ego-free environment. No confusing jargon. No fluff. Just sharp instruction, practical reps, and better hits.
âś…Â What will you learn?
This class is designed to help you build a real foundation with your red dot optic—not just hope you “pick it up” over time. You’ll leave knowing why it works and how to train for better results.
Key topics include:
- How red dots actually work—and how they’re different from irons
- Building a consistent presentation and index to make the dot show up
- Recoil control and tracking the dot through multiple shots
- Using the dot to drive target transitions with control and confidence
- How dry fire fits into your training—and how live fire confirms your progress
đź§ Â Who is this class for?
- New red dot shooters who want a clean start
- Experienced shooters transitioning from iron sights
- Anyone who’s been frustrated “chasing the dot”
- Shooters looking for a short, focused class to build confidence fast
You should already be safe with handling your pistol, including drawing and holstering, before attending.
