Inexpensive Red Dot for AR-15

[Zerodefect]

How refreshing. Not. I've never heard of anyone planning to panic before. Point shooting means a bunch of different things to most folks, but failing to index your sights and worse, planning to fail to index your sights is just mind boggling. Azizza has it right, nobody with any experience recommends such silliness.

Ahhh. So what?

I know exactly how effective I am if I have to point shoot, or if my red dot fails and i don't have time to flip up my Troys I can "shoot the tube" out to 15yds easy.

Not saying it's the most useful tactic, but another feather in your cap. Ignoring training such as point shooting, ambi switches, etc. because it's hard, or unusual seems silly to me.

During a pistol or carbine run and gun I automaticly switch form pointing usually around 7-10 yards, depends on the target and my position.

Still when bullets are flying past your head, I'd like to see how diciplined your shooting becomes. Time and time again, good experienced shooters fall apart under stress. Best to be ready for that, should it happen to you.

Shooting the tube (neat phrase, I'm stealing that one) is very doable and one reason my ARs have front sights. With the front sight, suitably marked, one can go to 75 yards, perhaps 100.

But, that's not point shooting (my definition), that's an emergency index.

Still when bullets are flying past your head, I'd like to see how disciplined your shooting becomes

Two way rifle or pistol matches are hard to train for - stress inoculation through frequent repetitive training and competition helps. I've noted over the years that frequent IPSC/IDPA shooters tend to be about as good as it gets outside of a very few small military groups and, perhaps, some major city SWAT teams. Otherwise, the only answer to your point would be to take photographs at a Tactical Response class.




OP, I just ordered a Primary Arms M4 RDS for my M&P15-22. Tad less than a hundred bucks shipped. I'll post when I get some range time with it.

I can not think of a single well known reputable instructor who would agree with you.

So your not going to try to learn something new based on that?
How far can you point shoot? That may be worth knowing. I'll bet you allready know anyway.

Tell me you really can't hit a target 7 yards away (21'?)? Even lame inaccurate paintball guns can hit a target at 100' nearly every single point with enough practice.

For newer guys that haven't been to a class yet, this DVD gives you an idea what to be ready for, and enough info so that you can get more out of the classes you do attend, too bad its $50!

I'm going to try catching one of thier classes next fall maybe, after I get some more basic, less expensive, classes to brush up with.
