With the recent advances in technology, the resurgence of Red Dot sight systems on handguns has happened. Standard, or Iron sights, are always going to work but what if there was a better way to aim?

Enter the Red Dot. This system is becoming the next evolution in shooting and we are bringing the skills to use them to you.

The Red Dot system, often referred to as an RDS, MRDS, or “The Dot” is evolving into the new way to sight and shoot. In this course we discuss the systems, how they work, and how you can use them to a high degree of efficiency and accuracy.

We will also use a combination of dry work, live fire skills, performance drills and establish a detailed set of tasks, conditions, and standard to help you become a better shooter – with ‘The Dot”!

This course was formed after researching how the body works, how the eye views sighting systems, and information and skills from numerous training courses. All with the goal of developing a course that will make you better!
