Dear Friend,
Over the last decade+ our company has become a trusted resource for armed Americans. We reach over 20 million gun owners every month and provide the latest in news, legal updates, gear, and education.
Through that all however, it has become abundantly clear in recent years that we are at a critical juncture with regards to shooting performance and skills and the drama revolves around Pistol Mounted Optics, more commonly just called “Red Dots.”
Like all new technologies, pistol optics had a hard start but have become the standard for law enforcement, military, and other armed professionals. If you haven’t adapted yet to the dot, we get it, but its time to take advantage of perhaps the single biggest performance “upgrade” in handguns since the semi-automatic.
If you have already adopted the optic, then I suspect like most of our students, you may not yet understand how to leverage it to maximize the power it can provide to your shooting.
That is why we built this course and training program. With over 8 hours of video and the companion eBook; this program will teach you everything you need to know about this product category and squeezing every ounce of performance potential out of your handgun!
Sincerely,
Jacob Paulsen
President | ConcealedCarry.com
