Handgun optics, weapon lights, and lasers can be accuracy enhancers and lifesaving accessories, but only if you understand how and when to use them safely and correctly. They can bridge the gap from iron sights to “target focused aiming.” This class will utilize classroom and live fire to help understand the concepts for effective use of pistol optics, lights and lasers on a handgun. Handguns can be from any manufacturer. Demo handguns will be available in class to try various optics and lasers.
