RDS - Red Dot Sight -Apr 20
Saturday April 20 2024 - 9:00 am to 4:30 pm
ETTS Range - Waxahachie, Tx
The RDS – Red Dot Sight offers many advantages for the handgun shooter. Most shooters are more accurate with the RDS, especially at longer distances. Proper aiming of the RDS requires “Target / Threat” focus, which is both a benefit during lethal engagements and consistent with our natural threat response. The ‘dot’ also provides valuable feedback identifying inefficiencies in our shooting mechanics.
For most, the transition to red dot sights on rifles was intuitive, but on the handgun, there is more of a learning curve. Shooters who try to figure it out on their own are often frustrated. Difficulty ‘finding the dot’ is a common complaint. This class will accelerate your learning curve and success with the RDS handgun using industry leading instructional methods.
