RDS enhance the ability a trained person to get faster, accurate shots, but there is a learning curve as you move from iron sights to this technology.

This class will discuss popular quality RDS, how to “zero” (sight in) them, the math of RDS dot size choices, installation options, maintenance, as well as manipulations, presentations for consistent dot acquisition, and target focus vs sight focus.

You will leave with methods of improving use of RDS in your own practice.

Depending on the pace of the class, RDS advantages for shooting at distance.
