Summary

Everyone has Red Dot Fever now. Are optics on handguns the end all be all? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider the ins and outs of modern optics on handguns.

Recently, Shooting New Weekly published an excerpt from an article written by Professor Paul regarding shooting games and whether or not playing games prepares us for the realities of life and death encounters.

Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from Student of the Gun University, Paul will discuss the ongoing discussion about “point shooting” versus “aimed fire”. Can you teach yourself to point shoot? Sure. Does that apply to 95 percent of the deadly force scenarios you may encounter?
