Nothing beats continued perfect practice. Correct grip, correct sight alignment, and steady trigger press. With marksmanship shooting, you focus on the front sight post. The rear sights and the target are somewhat blurry. As some of us age, our eyesight diminishes. I wear reading glasses to read books and wear shooting glasses that have a small portion at the top that match the strength of my reading glasses so I can focus on the front sight post.

This all changes with the addition of red dot sights on a handgun. I don't like crutches or other things that make someone feel better. I prefer truth-based information. With red dot sights, you keep both eyes open and place the red dot where you want the impact. Of course, all of the above mentioned skills must be practiced. With both eyes open, the shooter now has depth perception and in law enforcement allows the officer to better assess the suspect's threat level, whether it increases or decreases. This is a game changer for someone like me who was against it until I actually used it and learned to "present" the gun the proper way.

Rock on, David
