Description
This course will teach you the key fundamentals of shooting a pistol with a red dot optic. Many law enforcement agencies, specialized units and civilians are switching to Pistol Mounted Optics (PMO) for increased speed and performance. It’s also a great option for those whose vision is not what it once was. The problem for many who have shot iron sights for years is losing the red dot at presentation and/or having to search for the red dot. This ultimately slows shooters down, frustrates their practice efforts and has caused some to switch back to iron sights. This course was developed to lessen the learning curve and time required to achieve success drawing and shooting a pistol with a red dot optic.
