DESCRIPTION:
The Dot Life is the perfect class for those that are new to running a slide mounted Red-Dot Optic (RDO) on their handgun or for those familiar with the setup but looking to improve their performance with the pairing.
In an industry filled with “Red Dot Classes” that are simply the run of the mill handgun class with everyone shooting red-dot-equipped handguns, The Dot Life is in a category all its own.
The course is designed to help students hone their skills and learn new tips and techniques to get the most out of their equipment. Students and cadre will work together to address the common roadblocks many shooters encounter when making the transition from iron sights to a red-dot equipped handgun in a safe, fun, and educational environment.
With the goal of helping shooters become more confident and capable with the defensive handgun setup, it is also endorsed as a precursor class to the incredible red-dot-specific classes offered by our friend, skilled shooter, and training affiliate Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project.

MDFI never disappoints, I have been shooting with a dot on most of my handguns for 7-8+ years and this was my first time taking "A Dot" class and it was well worth it. Brandon & Tim did an amazing job keeping everyone engaged and switched on. The flow of the call and curriculum covered everything for shooting with a dot and proved many myths that you hear about wrong. They kept the line extremely safe and made sure that everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who has a dot on a blaster no matter how long you have been running it, you will defiantly take away things that you can work on for your future training.

This class really helped me to further my skill set with using the red dot in the defensive use of a pistol. Learned some great "nuggets" to speed up the process. Brandon and Tim went above and beyond to make sure everyone was tracking, and no one was left behind. You will be hard pressed to find this level of instruction being done in such a safe professional manner than what Trek and crew do at MDFI.

Taking classes with MDFI is always something to look forward to. They are solid guys with so much information to give, all while making you feel extremely safe and comfortable.
I learned so much information last weekend about utilizing my red dot in the correct and most efficient way, and I am looking forward to continuing to learn from them as I adventure into more classes. Thanks Brandon and Tim (and Trek). Ya'll are much appreciated.

I took this class back in September so I have had a few months to apply what I learned in our class time with Tim and Brandon. When I took the class I was probably just a few months into utilizing a red dot. There was much to take from the class. The main thing that I picked up was how the dot is there to tell you how well you are reacquiring the target after each shot, not just it's use as an initial aiming device. It was monumental to realize that the red dot is a "story teller". So, since the class my groupings are more concise because I am focusing on my fellow thru that more to get the dot back on target. Paying more attention to where the dot goes clues me in to where the shot already went. Well done fellas, once again, teaching a relative newbie how to become a more responsibly armed citizen.

I have been running a RDO on my handgun for about 6 months now and let me assure you that this course will make you never want to go back to iron sights again. MDFI will defeat any of the myths out there concerning RDO's on handguns and make you a believer in them. There were so many "Light bulb" moments for me in this course that I was blown away. I thought I was decent at presentation with some consistent dry practice, but Tim and Brandon noticed some deficiencies and refined some bad habits I was developing and had me presenting smoother and faster while acquiring the dot. Even though there is plenty of things to work on after attending this course, Tim and Brandon give you plenty of reps, they push you out of your comfort zone which only makes you a better shooter. By the end of this course, you will begin to, "Trust the Dot and Break the Shot" with confidence. Excellent course. I cannot recommend this course enough for anyone who runs a RDO on their EDC blaster.
