Modern Samurai Project Red Dot Instructor Course

The goal for this course is to teach the instructor my methodology for learning and teaching the fundamentals of employing the RDS-equipped pistol.

Red Dots on pistols are becoming more popular as options for carry/duty weapons. Part of mastery is training – here it is!

Prerequisites: THIS IS NOT AN INTRO LEVEL CLASS. IF YOU ARE NOT AN INSTRUCTOR OR DO NOT HAVE A SOLID PISTOL SKILL BASE, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE AND YOUR FEE WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

Topics Covered:

• Zeroing your red dot. 10 yard zero.
• Draw and how to stop fishing for the dot. Why back up irons are necessary?
• Only use the necessary amount of information required to make an acceptably accurate shot at the speed and distance required.
• Red dots up close. 5 yards and in.
• Red dots at distance
• Speed: Efficiency of draw and presentation. Concealed and Open setups. Speed is the economy of motion. Speed is not useless frenetic movement.

  • Micro Drill training method.

• Dot tracking: Grip, stance, dot movement, predictability. How to stop over confirming the dot.
• Modes of Practice
• How to get better on your own. Dry fire for skill building. Live fire for confirmation.
• Target transitions

• Identifying, diagnosing, and fixing common problems with all the aforementioned skills
