"There's a lot of stuff in there that doesn't react well to gun fire and I want to hit all of that" I don't know why I found that so funny but I did.

great info as always

Eagerly looking forward to the next installment. This is completely encyclopedic and engrossing for me. It explains a lot and helps me to process how to establish GOOD habits. Thank you sir!

Couldn’t find anyone to explain the dot in the window importance, and you clarified it beautifully.

Your lessons are simply unmatched! Thank you for sharing. Best regards from California. 👍💙🇺🇸

Just found the Sage Dynamics channel while looking for optic info.. Color me subscribed! Aaron is extremely articulate and informative. Bravo, good sir, bravo.

Best "technical" you tube channel ever!

All this is what I need to see and learn. I have a pistol in a shop having a slide milled for an RMR 6.5moa dot. I have gone back through all the RMR/RDS videos you have uploaded before deciding on moving to an RMR. Thank you.

“Didn’t hit my camera... big thumbs up!”

Glad your doing this series, i got a rds for my pistol and first time out was very disappointing, been working on it and its coming along but your philosophy helps emensly.

I just sjumped on the red dot wagon on my P320.. I bought a new slide with a red dot so I can practice with. I sighted it in today and after 75 rds I was ready to sell it. I am much faster and much more comfortable with my iron sights.. A friend of mine told me about this video, and I was amazed and impressed by the quality of your education and your approach in teaching. you hit the nail on the head with a lot of the noise factors associated with an iron sight shooter transitioning to red dots. I am going to give it more time before I give up on the red dot. Its going to be my new challenge to conquer this summer. Thanks for a great video.

Seeing your consistency/accuracy at 20m makes me feel alot better about my own accuracy between 15y and 25y. I thought I really sucked but now I see that maybe I don't suck as hard as I thought I was sucking

Love these RDS vids, bought a p320 rx as a result of them and have been carrying it daily, so much better than just irons on a pistol, especially for sub par vision

You shoot better without sites than most people with sites😂 great video man.

Just acquired the 9mm compact RX conversion for my carry size p320 Sig (originally bought in 40 S&W). I have yet to take it to the range (I'm a range safety officer at a local gun club), and before doing so, and because an RMR is new to me, I wanted to search for succinct expert explanation/instruction on its use. And boy am I glad I found you. Thank you, thank you for your "series" of videos on this subject. I wrote this because I particularly wanted you to know that your "pitching a baseball, throwing a football" analogy for understanding the over-arching eye/hand co-ordination importance within the aiming process really hit home with me, as in my younger days I was a karate instructor who certainly knows the value of eye/hand/foot to target importance. It was extremely meaningful in my "new" understanding, not only of the use of an RMR handgun, but to shooting in general. I am now a retired yet vibrant 74 and always just an okay shooter, never what I'd describe as real good. I do however feel confident that the techniques your videos have covered will help be better in the future, and after verifying zero of my new configuration of the gun I plan to carry, I can't wait to go and make more acceptably grouped holes. Thank you again from a new subscribing fan.

Thank you. I am a new RDS shooter and this was extremely helpful.

Absolutely the best video on understanding a red dot sight. Very well done

Absolutely love your videos you teach me so much every time I watch please keep them coming

Excellent topic, can't wait for the the rest of the series. Thank you sir!

Thanks for sharing your wisdom on the subject. I am going to get a Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS this week and wasn't sure which brand RDS and dot size to get, and you helped clarify everything with your videos on the subject.

Great video, cannot wait for the rest of the series. I am new to shooting red-dot on my carry gun and this is perfect timing.

Really great explanations! Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together!

Genius can’t believe you’re giving all this free training pretty incredible

Thank you for all your content, one of the best KZfaq channels!

You know your craft! Excellent video. Thank you.

Thank you. This was highly informative and encouraging. Now, I understand what it is that I'm working with on a much more granular level.

Outtakes were a nice touch.

You just helped me assist someone I've been trying to help get better because I cannot translate what they are doing and why they are inconsistent. Tape the sights.. never thought of that. It will help diagnose what is going on. It has nothing to do with a RMR, but applies to the open sights.

This is going to be a great video series.

Excellent presentation and context. Thanks man .. MUCH RESPECT

Awesome video and explanation. Very intelligently and thoroughly presented. Thanks!

awesome instruction!!!! excited to watch your other future videos on this topic ...thank you very much

I recently switched to an RDS. Great info. Thanks!

Great info! Awesome having video of what we talked about.

Aaron this is the video I have been looking for. Been trying to understand the placement of the dot on my sights for a few days and this makes it clear to me. And if I may. Recall the Texas church shooting when Jack Wilson made a head shot at what looked like more that 15 yards. I'm sure he practiced at that range for a reason.

Perfect shirt for a perfect series.

Best red dot tutorial. Thank you!

Dang! Impressive and point very well taken.

Thank you sir! I just received my rmr from big tex outdoors, im ready to start the journey

Finding the dot by moving mi head rather than my hands made a huge improvement. Thanks.

Wow, enjoyed learning. I like the idea of purely training hand eye alignment. I know that for me if I haven't trained in a while it may take a little longer to align dot/eye alignment. Great vid!

Great video! Got my wife to start using the dot on her pistol. She is getting it and likes it. I need to get up there in Jan for your RDS class!!!!!

I was having issues. So applyed this theory & Ronin Tactics. Find your dominant eye & bring that weapon up & press out in alignment with that dominant eye & I improved 110% I'm not all the way there yet, takes years of practice but it works 🤟

Great channel, thank you for your awesome knowledge!

That draw was clean! Plus you made this on my Bday great work! Lol

I like the way you teach man 👍 appreciate the lesson

Great video and great shooting...especially without sights!

Glad you didn't hit camera. I want to watch more of your videos. Thumbs up again. Learning a lot as I want after decades of shooting pistol iron sights to switch to optics. As a seasoned citizen shooter with special prescription glasses to get focal point on front sight an optic allows me to focus on tgt. Great line 'embrace the wobble'.

TGC sent me and I glad they did great content.

Such good, well-worded info here.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge, well done. 👍🏻

excellent presentations as always.

With my hand I coordination and your camera set up. I would have shot your camera lmao. You need more subs boss. This channel has helped me out so much with fine tuning my shooting skills. Please don't stop sharing your knowledge.

Excellent explanation......Great Video

I've barely been using a dot a couple years now. What i find completely intriguing is that for me, the dot has been a magnificent training tool. Yes it is intended to be a sight but I've noticed that I'm objectively shooting better as in basic principles since using one and itisn'tt because the dot is "cheating" and does all the work by itself. It forces me to change how i was doing things in order to get hits where I want and now I've noticed with my iron sight guns I'm shooting both eyes open, naturally. I'm consitently bringing that gun up to my eyes and head instead of the other way around, naturally. My stance and grip and how I control muzzle rise is more consistnet, naturally, because it's so much more exaggerated with a dot that you notice it more. Its interesting how people either seem to adapt and live a dot right away or hate it and cant grasp it's use. Guess I was lucky that with the 1st range trip with one ot just felt kinda natural and really didnt take long to get comfortable with. One of the biggest helps is just frequently practicing drawing as often as i could. Everytime I'd disarm at home id spend 5 or 10 minutes just drawing from the holster to figure out where to hold it and how to get that view. They're pretty neat

Well done I have been considering a RMR and you're pretty much the only KZfaq channel that clearly breaks it down pluses and minuses you are a very accurate and consistent shooter if I can be half as good as you are someday I'm doing well

This video shows exactly what I was commenting on from the other video. So you got it way before I thought of it. First time I ever seen someone prove you can shoot fairly accurately at self defense distances without sights. 👍

You are one hell of a good shooter. I''m trying to take in all the stuff you are say but I now believe my brain has exploded....I need a nap...

You sold me I subscribed. Great stuff.

Another awesome video!

Great video as always. 👍🏻

Great video/great detail = Sage Dynamics par for the course.

Ive always heard that phrase said as, “Hand/Eye coordination” hearing it as Eye Hand Coordination is killing me

Great video, learned a lot, thanks!

wow that point shooting was amazing!!!!!

Excellent lesson and shooting.

Great information...thanks again

Hey, Aaron I am 15 years old and now training for guns currently shooting 20 meters with my glock 19! I am also 68 kilos for 1m68 keep it up bro! Thanks for everything!

Great video it helped me out alot thanks

Dam it Aaron! You shoot better and 1000 times faster at 100 feet with a glock equipped with no, yes I said no, none, nada, zero; sights/optic/aiming device then I do at 5 feet with target sights, red dot, shooting bench and locked into a lead sled. My wife gave birth to my first child, A BOYYYYYYY, 4 months ago and while it's the greatest thing to ever happen to me, he has killed any thought or chance of even thinking about anything other then going to sleep let alone practice. I'm gonna sign up for a class with one of my local trainers. I feel so inadequate right now. Thanks Aaron. Lol

Very great info

Thank you!!

Enjoyed!

Great video for me.

Kinesthetic alignment. The natural body orientation toward the target developed over time and practice. Creates a natural point of aim toward the target. Good info, I talk about this in a series I did on Patreon and my other channel at Redbeard Combatives

Thank you

Thanks 🙏🏼

damn good info!

Question for ya Aaron, would it help a guy become used to this whole threat-focused, first focal-plane red dot experience if he ran the RMR alone without backup irons for a little while? As a training evolution, not a duty scenario.

Just bought my frist red dot. Found myself shooting irons though the red dot. I had to force myself to stop. First 200 rounds today I was a lot more accurate with the iron sights. Just like fly fishing you have to keep with it and you have to leave your crutches AKA your regular rods home

Awesome man really good video I can't wait to see the entire series. I'll let you in on a little something this helps me out quite a bit now I lost my left eye and some of my vision in my right. And I've got a Smith & Wesson Performance Center with the slot cut out on the slide for a red. And I've been thinking about putting an RMR on it. But I have had problems keeping alignment of the. With handguns. Because I see in two Dimension and not 3 dimension it presents a problem with a handgun if the sites aren't Co witnessed with the.. it's hard for me to Center the. In the Lin's due to no point of reference unless I have a physical one like the front sight on a rifle or a front sight on a pistol. I really appreciate you explaining all this I thought I wasn't able to use a red. Because of my injury. Thank you very much sir looking forward to the next video.

damn good shooting bro !

In a weird way the dot movement and management of it kinda reminds me of how you have to keep adjusting the steering wheel just slightly and controlled when driving an older model car because of the play the steering wheel gets over the years.

Are there any advantages or disadvantages when it comes to the actual color of the dot as it relates to either day or night shooting? In other words, why don’t you use a green dot RMR or an Amber dot RMR?

On the no sight group. The third to last group (?) was impressive

Thx

I would travel the 14 hours to take a rmr class with you. Quick question, i got used to using one eye now i hear you are supposed to keep both eyes open, what do you suggest? Thanks broseph.

If I have proper grip and recoil mitigation technique, should the dot ever leave the window during the firing sequence?

Bring us focused Red Dot handgun classes.

ANOTHER, Amazing Info Packed Video! Aaron, PLEASE TELL US WERE TO GET THAT SHIRT??? Thanks for the Video, Sir.

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽💪🏽

WHERE DID YOU GET THE TEE SHIRT??

Hi Aaron, quick question, I have an FN 509C tactical with suppressor height sights and a Vortex venomon rds.. If I replace the suppressor height sights with standard sights would that achieve lower 1/3rd in the optic window?

“You can be my wingman any time.”

Bro I need that shirt!!

Y'ep, that works.

Why do you need sites? Great shooting !!!

I got to make a point to take some classes with you at some point.

I went to a Vickers course and he said the same thing about the wobble - just ignore it.

This guy shoots better with no sights than most people do with sights
