Tuition: $395
Class is designed for Agencies/Individuals that are considering the transition to this technology, or Agencies/Individuals that have already selected a make/model of pistol mounted RDS.
Current Firearms Instructors will learn how to transition their Department to this accessory, including benefits of its use and policy considerations. Non-instructors will benefit from the training methodology to shorten the learning curve and transition to RDS.
IF an agency is undecided about which RDS they may select/offer to their personnel, this class will discuss current technology, industry trends, and certain RDS features. (We do not endorse a specific make/model of RDS but can help you drill down on pros and cons of various models and how they may be configured).
Organized to help officers learn the efficient and effective way to utilize this tool, officers will avoid the common issues encountered when agencies employ this sighting system without effective transition training.
Students will zero their RDS, with explanations of the benefits of a zero, in real terms, at various distances. Dot size, expressed in MOA, will be thoroughly explained. RDS relationship to iron sights will be discussed. Myths regarding iron sight vs RDS qualifications will be dispelled.
Alternate aiming techniques will be drilled. Weapons manipulations (loading/unloading, malfunctions) will be practiced.
RDS benefits to veteran officers will be discussed. Advantages of RDS at distance will be discussed, demonstrated, and drilled.
Taking advantage of the intuitive “target/threat focused” benefit of the RDS, students will undergo a structured series of drills and exercises that will allow rapid skill acquisition, confidence, and increased proficiency with their duty handguns. Before and after skill tests will be conducted.
Required Equipment:
Firearms Instructors are encouraged to attend to learn how they might transition their agency. Non-instructors will benefit from the training methodology to shorten the learning curve and transition to RDS.
