Pistol Red Dot - How to Acquire Your Dot Faster

[@ohscarleon]

That eye tap at the beginning really caught me off guard haha

[@Seabee05]

LOL. I’m sitting here working and I had to rewind that like 8 times. I love these guys but I definitely want to now pause this video and see what happened to my guys eye.

Great saying right? He was awesome the entire class and much learning was had

[@Alphakoncepts]

"Look at the target and you'll pull the dot to your eye" so much fact and works for irons too.

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Outstanding training. I'm cross dominant and when I first transitioned to rds, the occluded optic drill helped me figure the whole thing out. 👍👍

[@1911syndicate]

Nice 👍🏻

[@lordhellfire153]

Literal first thing that came to mind. I get to use my dominate hand and target focus with my dominant eye

[@minusmartin]

I love that there is that VERY clear distinction between teaching and when you go to each individual and give small one on ones. you show that feel good empathy that reinforces and allows confidence to keep you trying and trying. that's awesome.

Dooooo it

[@TheAxe4Ever]

Mike Pannone just motivates you to want to stop making excuses and train and practice. When he said “I can’t do that because it’s occluded and I only have one eye. Then I figured that’s just a bullshit dodge excuse. You can do whatever the fuck you want if you decide to do it” was all the motivation I needed. Hell, if you get really good at target focus, occluded sighting with your dot, you can just leave the front of your dot covered and never have to worry about your dot getting washed out from light.

[@calebburrichter8452]

Your videos are really picking up guys. Well done.

[@Chrisblau]

Thank you for the kind words Caleb 👊🏼👊🏼

[@oklahomahank2378]

Great idea! I am just experimenting with a Holosun 507. I bought a spare slide for my Glock 17 and a parts kit for it and then the red dot. So far I like it, but I feel like it is going to take some practice to perfect the presentation. Later I bought a 43x with a red dot slot. I am 67 but willing to try new stuff.

[@shrubjr893]

I have noticed exactly what your saying about being "target focused" its still hard to make my eye and mind do it right though. I'll have to try this, thanks!!

[@1911syndicate]

Yessir 👍🏻

[@Cryptic1911]

Yep, this is legit. I did this accidentally once when I showed up to a club meeting and only had a short time to shoot before hand. It was getting dark and was clammy out, so as soon as I got the pistol out, the lens was completely fogged over. I didn't have a cloth, so I said screw it, I'm just gonna run it. I ran the whole set of plates just as fast as I usually do. I was seeing the target with my left eye and the dot with my right eye, and it just merged them together. It was pretty interesting that it basically made zero impact on how I shot

[@Chrisblau]

Wow what a great example dude thank you for sharing that. That right there also acknowledges you can run your stuff dirty, covered, etc etc. great story and thanks for watching and commenting on the content we appreciate you dude 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@Chrisblau]

[@Legatus2kx]

Would be nice to see a self competition from front to rear with sub-compact weapons, in stages. Do it with full size and sub compact to see the difference in target hitting. Most people I know don't carry a fullsize specially now because of the heat, and its a different process going from full size to sub-compat or even nano.

[@JG54206]

I’ll have to work on this. If Mike can manage this with one eye then I have no excuse for not being able to do it with my two eyes. My left eye needed correction when I was younger and is still very much weaker and submissive to my right eye but that is something I would like to work on. I’ve never been able to bring the sights on a long gun into alignment from my left eye and have wanted to work on that for a while now.

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

The fastest way for new dot shooters to find your dot is to go to your irons first, and your dot will be there. That is assuming you are able to co-witness.

[@tropicalpines4585]

I’d argue that’s only doing them a disservice by adding an extra step and creating a bad habit. I’ve only shot pistols with irons until this month, but about 4 months back I started shooting target focused. I threw on the dot and while I could use improvement I haven’t had the huge uphill battle some people describe when they switch from irons to red dot. I credit this to shooting irons target focused and lots of dryfire.

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

@TropicalPines45 if it works for you, then it is neither wrong or stupid. What division do you primarily shoot? I just got to B in single stack and have been an A in production for awhile, but I like golfing too much to always be gaming at the range.

[@junderwood6633]

What was the point of that 1st drill in regards to target focus? Starting with gun up, on target Seems like it was just a reaction time drill.

[@Haikeoutdoor]

That's it.

[@timothygarrity5181]

So can you see part of the target at the bottom⁴of the window with the tape on it?. Unless you are looking around the gun to see target while shooting.I might have missed something?. I better figure this shit out because I have a 5moa sro,and they are not cheap.I wanted to shoot uspsa all summer but keep getting pulled away from it somehow.I would appreciate any advice on occluding the dot!.It looks like people are looking through the occluded dot to look at the target.

Because the jargon that he's using is new to me, I have no real idea what he's talking about.........Here's my best guess. We're suppose to look over the top of the optic with one eye.
