This is the Gospel of Sights. I truly believe that discussing the aiming spectrum as a sliding scale, with sights gradually going from reference points to actual sights, is really all the discussion that needs to take place. I will shout this vid out to my students. Thanks.
As a civilian, I don’t have the experience to prove this but always knew threat focus was more realistic than front sight focus, so that’s how I practice. Glad to see a pro validate that even the true bad@sses will threat focus or point shoot rather than try to look at their front sight.
It's crazy how gun twitter with all their expensive gucci red dots will lose their minds if you tell them they won't see they're red dot in a self defense shoot. They refuse to confront reality.
Doing shooting competitions like IDPA or USPSA is a good way to drill this kind of thinking. The hits don't need to be perfect, they just need to be good enough. you start to learn exactly how much of your sights you need to see at different distances to get 2 good hits as quickly as you can. I use a red dot but with practice you can be accurate enough within 15 yards by point shooting
And that's why (or at least, the main reason...) I finally came off the fence and "relearned" to shoot my pistol with RDS... But I had to work at it. It did not come easy or fast, at least for me. First had to buy the RDS I was going to bet my life on. Then have the slide of my "EDC-to-be" cut to fit the RDS, install it, install backup sights. Learn how to zero it and learn to trust that my EDC/sights combo will remain zeroed, even when I bump it... Then spend a gazillion time dry-firing to create/wire the new "reflex" that would allow me to automatically acquire my RDS sight on presentation, consistently. Also spend another gazillion time (and money, mind you...) at the range, learning when to ignore the RDS sight all together at really close range and revert to point shooting, with a diferent reference index from the one I used before ... I mean it's worth the effort, but many will lose patience and will not complete the transition. It's easier if you are a new shooter, I'm told, because you don't have to "unlearn" what has become 2nd nature... But yeah, just saying.

What is a reference point in this context?

Perfect explained the advantage of reddots, thats the fact, detection of the enemy. Thats the way of CQB.

"Kimme und Korn", didn't expect that one.

How does the German SEK does it ? Do they practice targetfocus or sightfocus ?
How much do those guys make per hour to get shot with those dummy rounds? Fuck me. I bet not near enough
you are so good.
Olesko my love 😍
