Pistol Mounted Optics Courses

301 - 2-DAY PISTOL OPTICS CLASS

This 2-day Red Dot Pistol class is designed to implement the use of a reflexive sight on a pistol in multiple applications. Students must already be proficient with handgun safety, operation, and function. Students will develop skills necessary to properly use a reflexive sight both two handed and single handed.
