Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA
Interesting, I have now made the whole sale switch to red dots on everything. My age and vision deterioration made it fundamentally necessary. It is hands down the smartest thing I have done in a very long time. Obviously I cannot use them when I compete in Cowboy Action tho. As for slowing you down-finding the dot? That is not how I teach it or use them, that being said many do it that way. I go with the heavy reps plan so the dot appears on what I am looking at During presentation. Now I am not the fastest guy on the planet. In fact I would call me kind of middle of the road. At a recent timed event however I was the fastest of the day (clearly a low bar) using red dot at ten yards from the holster I managed to draw and shoot ten shots on a B8 target, (black Is aprox 3.5 inches across)in 6.013 seconds scoring a 95/3x. All in the Black. I was competing against a bunch of young hard charging SWAT officers. Never underestimate the old fat guy who's pistol looks like hammered dog slobber!
