Fundamentals of Precision and Speed

A Sanami Defense Academy Signature Course

Mastering the red dot begins here.

Red Dot Pistol 1 delivers a full 8 hours of live range instruction, structured to build confident, efficient red dot shooting skills through deliberate live-fire drills and progressive technical challenges.

This course focuses on zeroing, dot tracking, presentation efficiency, and target acquisition under pressure—turning a flashing dot into a powerful tool instead of a confusing distraction.
