Description


The Red Dot Sight (RDS) Pistol course is designed for shooters who have made, or are currently transitioning from pistol iron sights to red dot sights. This course is not for shooters who do not have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship, but rather capable pistol shooters looking to transition their sight. The classroom portion of the course will cover proper mounting techniques to include a talk-through demonstration. Here, students will have the opportunity to properly mount and adjust their RDS if needed.  The remaining time will be spent on the range learning techniques that will enable the shooter to employ the RDS efficiently and effectively.
