Can't find the dot? Here is how to correct this problem!

[@henrypham562]

May you also show how to find the dot easily with strong hand shooting and support hand shooting?

BEST video on KZbin on this topic so far!!! Well done. Actually teaches us how to teach ourselves and discover unique aspects to our own styles. Thank you

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

Glad to hear it!! Thank nyou

I recently started my red dot journey with a very poor decision to go cheap. Two broken sights later, I am sending it back for the 3rd time, but, they keep sending a replacement rather than a refund. The good people at ASP have helped me select an alternate optic, so, this drill will be a big help. Thank you, as always.

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

Awesome!

[@leviburlingham5859]

I was having an issue with finding the dot, the squeezing off the support hand pinky really helped me out!

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

Awesome!!!

[@ginal5926]

What does squeezing the pinky do?

[@lanced3256]

Great tips. Sincere thanks from an old iron site guy who just got his first red dot

Your Deliberate Coaching class last weekend was great. Thank for putting producing and sharing your unique curriculum! I'll be back for more training with Brian Hill in the future!

[@christopherreeves7915]

Ty for the tips and great informational video!

[@jamesc4962]

Thank you! Just started my transition to red dot and your advice has helped a lot!

[@MC-yp2tn]

Thank you, Brian. As always, excellent content.

[@shootlog6690]

Thank you Brian. the Aha moment came when you said not to press. ive trained to grip, pull, present and press (60% of the time the dot is there 40% is flash sight picture) thank you :)

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

Wonderful!

[@richbeck4615]

I'm sure I missed the memo. Why is it ok to put your thumb on top of the slide?

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

GOOD QUESTION! Email the question to us at [e-mail] and I will ask Brian to answer. Thank you

[@charlesherron9619]

Dipping my head is my biggest problem.

[@nennyof2]

Me too

[@jackbauer5511]

Or don't use a dot. The front sight is always on the end of the slide, so you know where to find it.

[@rankeny2]

My thoughts exactly. For me, a dot has zero value out to about 10 yards. YMMV.

[@philipvandercook3541]

In your presentation of finding the dot, I feel you are not on target. I am not a pro or have ever been in a gun fight, but it seems with with your muzzle up to find the dot you are not on target. I try to draw keeping my muzzle parallel with the ground and on target. As a marry my grip the dot comes in from the bottom as the pistol comes into my sight. If I had to I could get some shots off if the treat was real and be confident in getting accurate hits as the pistol comes to full presentation and the dot is on target. I really liked your video and I am not trying to be critical would love to hear what you have to say

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

The actual problem with lining up the dot or front sight is the nature of our joints. They only make straight Ines by three joints making circles which is your wrist, elbow, and shoulder. During the eye-level straight press, you are rotating your grip into a compromised position. Since you can not see through the dot until mid-way through the press, there is little advantage to the straight press, but a significant disadvantage to the biomechanics of the arm movement which rotates more naturally down. Having the dot drop from 12 o’clock allows the proper grip to guide the vision instead of the other way around. Many iron sight shooters use the eye-level straight press, but vision can guide the gun into a gross position instead of using our kinesthetic awareness to guide the gun into positioning and then verifying or correcting with vision. I hope this helps, and thanks for commenting!

[@philipvandercook3541]

@@TheCompleteCombatant Yes. I totally understand the point of your video, my primary concern is getting fast and accurate hits. The muzzle up orientation may prevent that, or at least add time. Some would call that "fishing" which most instructors teach to avoid.

[@TheCompleteCombatant]

@@philipvandercook3541 fishing would be casting in circle above my eye line this a rotation while extending in straight line. It allows the support hand to grip sooner. I have shot A zone hits at 25 yards from the holster in 1.3-1.4., and 7 yards at .8-.9. It is both fast and accurate, but the only way to know is to try it both ways with several months of practice.
