RDS INSTRUCTOR

 

This 2 Day class is designed to certify current firearms instructors to teach RDS equipped pistol curriculum at their agency, club or range. The Red Dot Sight equipped defensive & duty pistols are here to stay. In this class we will cover teaching your students different ways of "finding the dot" when drawing/presenting the pistol, tracking the dot during recoil, zeroing and "re-learning" handgun marksmanship when transitioning to the red dot equipped pistol. 

 

There is a learning curve to finding the red dot & there is no one size fits all technique to finding it consistently. This class combines & exposes the student instructor to a variety of techniques, so they can help their students figure out what works and what doesn't for them & not be told what is "THE" right or wrong way, based on what works for instructor "X". 

 

Other topics covered include: Downed optics drills, BUIS, malfunction clearance with the red dot, target focused shooting drills, shooting on the move, optics selection, mounting options, holsters & support equipment for the red dot equipped pistol & more.  If you use a ballistic shield or wear tactical "kit", we encourage you to bring both if possible, to get reps using both.
