2-Day Course centered around the use of a pistol mounted optic in the context of lethal encounters. I believe pistol optics can offer us certain advantages This class is focused on being fight effective, and NOT about improving your ranking in competitions.
This class is for all levels of optic users, and focuses on nuances of application of the sighting system. A certain level of marksmanship ability is required as a prerequisite to get the most out of this class. Optics do not make us better/ more accurate shooters, they simply change the way we aim.
If your shooting ability needs a lot of work, we will be able to improve it some (but time is limited). Know that this class concentrates on “aiming” above “hitting” what is aimed at.Trust the process, and if more shooting help is needed we can recommend other classes or instructors for that work. You will still benefit from this class, but those with solid marksmanship will get the most.
Technology continues to improve, and I believe that pistol optics allow us to simplify certain shooting problems, extend effective range of our pistol, and aim more precisely. However, it’s use comes as a double edged sword with a new learning curve. This course will shorten that learning curve for you, while also pointing out some things that no other “dot” classes, that we know of, do.
(Most notably: The fact that a Circle Only reticle can be more effective than a dot. We will also address the fact that there are some negatives of optics, when compared to using irons, that must be overcome in certain fighting contexts.)
You will learn how to “find the dot (reticle)”, use it to take advantage of target focused shooting in a fight, use it as a diagnostic tool to improve your shooting ability, and much more.
