Build a Repeatable Index So the Dot Appears—Every Time

 

Red dot pistols are powerful tools, but only when the shooter can present the gun consistently and see the dot without searching for it. This hands-on mini course is built specifically for shooters who want to understand why they lose the dot and how to fix it through fundamentals, vision, and proper presentation mechanics.

This is not a speed class and not competition training. The focus is on building a repeatable index so the dot appears naturally at extension, allowing the shooter to stay target-focused and in control.

Who This Course Is For:

Have you ever thought:
🔹 “I have a red dot, but I lose it on presentation”
🔹 “I feel slower with a dot than iron sights”
🔹 “I don’t understand what I’m seeing through the optic”
🔹 “I want to use my red dot effectively for real-world shooting”

Then this course is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Proper grip, wrist angle, and head position for consistent dot acquisition
✅ Building a repeatable presentation path that brings the dot into view automatically
✅ Target-focused shooting principles with a red dot
✅ Understanding acceptable sight picture at varying distances
✅ Recovering from a lost dot without panic or wasted movement
✅ Confirming hits with confidence using a pistol-mounted optic

Live-fire drills are structured, deliberate, and coaching-driven to reinforce fundamentals rather than speed.
