What You'll Learn
New to the red dot sight (RDS) or still struggling to find the dot after carrying one for years? Let our instructors help you save some time and ammo with a structured draw, grip, and presentation that will help. Handgun Optics concentrates on essential skills required to use a handgun with optical sights (commonly refer to as Red Dot sights) as an effective self-defense tool. This is the perfect class if you are wanting to fully understand your optics including techniques to ‘zero’ your optic, or are new to optics and want to make sure they are right for you. Basic marksmanship ability, drawing and presenting to the optic, and additional issues present with optical sights will be discussed. This class will discuss the various optics options, pros and cons of the use of optics, and the challenges that need to be addressed to maximize the use of these modern electronic sights.
Areas Covered: Safety History and advantages and disadvantages of optics Challenges to optimizing optics Drawing ‘to the dot’ from your carry holster or carry purse Zeroing your optic Basic defensive live-fire Scanning and simple movement
Course Goal: To provide each student with the knowledge to make an informed choice of whether to use an optic or not. Additionally, drills will be provided to further the student’s skills in optimizing an optics mounted handgun.
