RED DOT SIGHTS: Target focus and high tech tape

Occluded optic drill for developing target focus.
Red Dot Concepts is a 2 day course. The way we aim our firearm is an area that sees constant improvement. Over a decade ago rifle optics went through significant changes with the introduction of red dot sights. These sights offered a tremendous advantage in speed, accuracy, and application. Unfortunately, back then, optics for pistols were not as easy to set up or robust enough for every day use.
Times have changed and now most companies offer pistols ready to accept red dot sights straight from the factory. We now have a wide selection of red dot sights that are ready for every day carry.
Red dot sights offer a number of advantages for the pistol shooter.
The most important is "target focus" which allows the shooter to clearly see the target with a red dot superimposed on it.
Secondly, the red dot is simpler to understand. With the red dot you are only "placing a dot" on the target. With iron sights you have three planes of focus which is obviously not as simple when compared.
Next, you have the ease when dealing with certain vision issues during shooting and it is found to be easier when dealing with difficult positions.
Last, is the ability to "track" in recoil and transitions. That bright red paintbrush of the red dot optic is hard to miss.
All of these factors are significant advantages for the shooter but IT WILL require an understanding of the red dot sighting system.
This class will prepare you to get the most out of the red dot sights and introduce you to a training methodology that will allow you to take advantage of these benefits. This class will also help avoid time consuming mistakes in your training while learning the use of red dots.
The following subjects will be covered:
Finding the dot during the draw
Repeatable draws and reference points
Target focus and using stereoscopic vision
Zeros/Holdovers at different distances
Ammo makes a difference
Precision and speed
Proper settings for the brightness of the red dot sight
Wet optics and downed optic drills
Positional shooting advantages
Tracking in recoil and transitions
Interpreting and processing the information available

You drop some of the BEST lines. "The coin of the realm of self defense is always TIME." Thanks for that.

Thanks, my friend!

Excellent explination. Thank you

[@brettinnj]

I'm watching this video saying to myself, "why not just turn the thing off?" Then I tried it. Very cool. Thank you.

Love this Brian. Thank you. Just went to the Jedi's class, so this combined with his class is awesome! Gotta go find my blue tape! Thanks Professor! 😉

[@NHlocal]

I just happen to have some blue tape right here next to me..... 😁 Really good stuff Brian! Thanks for sharing another mini video lesson. Keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤️🇺🇸 Randy

[@stanflora8692]

incredible video! Appreciate it! your short video is superior to so many 20+ min ones.

[@billg4517]

Very helpful, thanks...

[@biker1958]

Great video, thanks.

[@ryanburbridge]

Thanks for posting. I kinda laugh when i see people who obsess over the cleanliness of their optic. Let’s me know they may be less target focused then they want to admit. As someone who carries every day from the moment my pants go on till they come off i can tell you optics get filthy. I have cans of dust off in a few locations and give the optic a quick blast on occasion but honestly could care less. I can see the target and the dot magically appears through the belly fuze lol

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

Thanks for watching! Good idea with the dust off.

Wow. Thank you

[@bradbarley6639]

Great basic video!

thank you !

[@thomasdestry5188]

Amazing tutorial !

[@bryanshoebottom9434]

My Son just set me up with that drill yesterday at the range.

[@tonygougeon5100]

What about right handed and left eye dominant. I am improving but in a constant battle.

[@emiliomunoz2980]

What do you think of the Holosun 507c Vulcan with that big ring around the reticle, is it helpful you think or a crutch? Thank you

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

I went through a similar issue with rifles and the EO tech reticle. While I find some advantages to the reticle, I prefer the simple information conveyed by a dot. I find it harder to stay target focused with the big reticle causing my eyes train to align the reticle and target especially when transitioning between targets. I also know many competent shooters that use it.

[@emiliomunoz2980]

@@TheCompleteCombatantThank you for the reply. I understand, this reticle has a circle that is at something like 100 or more MOA its designed so that when you see the dot you don't see the circle, when your off instead of fishing for the dot you see only a curved portion of the circle drawing your eye toward the dot in the middle. I respectfully recommend you give it a look. Holosun Vulcan acss from primary arms I believe.

[@onecallednic]

Can you squat, kneel, and bend comfortably with that muzzle brake?

[@brianhill9639]

No problem, but I am 6’2 and 225 lbs so I have the real estate for it. The length of the muzzle or comp is not a problem as long as the holster has the proper wedge. I also have a regular P226 and a P225 I carry according to where I am going and my attire. Thanks for the question
