AT – Concealed Carry Red Dot 1 – August 10 2024

The red dot equipped handgun has become the preferred conceal carry method for many responsible gun owners. Those who have experienced frustration with a red dot handgun are either frustrated because they cannot keep the dot steady enough in the window to take an accurate shot, they lose the dot after recoil or cannot initially find the dot during presentation. Another potential frustration is their draw is not as fast as they want it to be from concealment. In this course, you will learn how to confidently navigate through these frustrations or any optic malfunction that may arise with the red dot.

Prerequisites: Student must have a firm understanding of the Fundamentals and be safe throughout the course.
