My thoughts on how to become better AND faster at finding the red dot on your presentation or draw.
Hat tip to Nate Perry for the quote,"Shot timer don't care about your smooth".

I have a method that worked absolutely WONDERS for me. I've primarily fired from irons and high power scopes but as of recent got really into hand guns with the use of compact red dots. I was having a hell of a time getting my alignment right, especially when from holster or low ready.... This method is primarily beneficial for those that want to find that dot as quickly as possible from holster or low ready but can easily be worked into realignment through recoil.... It's going to sound silly but first make sure the gun is clear and ammunition in a separate room... Next find a room in the house that's as close to pitch black as possible with enough room for yourself to draw uninhibited. Now, just simply work on your draw / low ready to ready. The more pitch black the room is the better. This helps with muscle memory especially but don't cheat! If when you bring the pistol into the ready position you can't see your dot, don't use your wrists to fish around trying to find the dot, just simply reset and try again! You of course don't want to start this process without already having enough muscle memory to know how you should feel when just doing irons at the range. This way you can quickly incorporate your current into the ready comfortably into this new practice without developing any new bad habits. For me when I first started it was kind of frustrating because I was having a hell of a time finding the dot but I would fish around with my wrists after already having the gun in ready position at eye level. Once I cut that out it only took a few more resets and then I was finding it almost each and every time since I cut out the bad habit with the wrists. Once you are almost 100% consistently getting that dot found on each draw you then take a few minute break to relax and then repeat with the lights on. I know it sounds silly but honestly it doesn't take too much practice. Once you can consistently get it down in the dark you're already developing proper muscle memory that becomes natural when incorporating the practice from dark to light. Hope this helps someone out there that might be thinking red dots might not be for them because of repeated frustration. It certainly helped me immensely!
I can't find my red dot!!! Umm, your battery is dead
"Snapping in"
just saw you on Garand Thumb .... great info
ANYWHO, I HAVE A 14 POWER SCOPE MOUNTED ON ALL MY GLOCKS - OPTICS ARE THE WAY TO GO - IRON SIGHTS ARE TOO OLD FASHION - I CAN'T CARRY ANY OF MY PISTOLS IN A HOLSTER, SO WHAT, THOSE 14 POWER SCOPES ARE GREAT, BTW, THE RED/GREEN DOT SIGHTS ARE OUT OF VOUGUE TOO, GET YOU A 14 POWER SCOPE, OR EVEN HIGHER POWER - BE A REAL TACTURD GUY - HOOOOOOOOOO RAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shot timers and honey badgers....... 2 things that just do not give AF about your truth 😁 Fast to fail... Fail to learn got it. Echo Hard! "Doc"

If you can't find the dot, look where you think the irons would be. Voila! Bet you'll find it much quicker that way.
I recently switched to a red dot and was having A LOT of trouble lining up the gun and finding the dot. The video helped and I will continue to get my reps in. Thank you!
Yes... a guy who DOES NOT over complicate instruction. Bravo 👏🏽 and gives you the why
Just mounted my red dot. I have to say this is the best training vid I've seen! Simple and easy! Thanks sir....
I find that the thumb on my support hand REALLY helps me with acquiring sight of the dot. When I focus on pointing that thumb toward the target, I'm using my body to naturally line up the barrel with the target, and so the dot shows up more consistently since the gun is fairly well aligned already. My support thumb is being used as a natural indexing point for aiming.
Very Solid - I think the biggest worry in transitioning to the RMR on a pistol is losing speed from draw to first shot because you miss the dot. Thanks for a great lesson!
This was brilliant. I just followed along with you a couple times doing this and now I’m a master at assessing my own issues. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video brother!!! I wore my arms out doing this drill, lol. I have improved drastically, thank you! Wish I could train with you.
Building neuro-pathways is king. Reps, reps, reps. Pure gold on how you describe yet another facet of the art of handgun manipulation, Jedi. Thank you for all the gucci knowledge and effort you put in. And kudos to Yeti for "no ready" 😆
Jedi, thanks for the 1 on 1 training!! Your the man! I'm already a lot better!
I can find it easily now. Thank you very much. Been practicing for a few days since I saw your video with Garand Thumb.
This was great. I did great from low/high ready. No issues. From the draw, my dot was consistently left. It showed my something about my grip. I wasn't getting my grip fingers all the way around the the grip. Very illuminating. Practice is key!! Well. done. (I should get one of those handguns with the "grip zone". That would cure all!)
