Red Dot // Rifle

Aimpoint® Academy
$600 per person | 2 Days

Aimpoint® Academy Rifle Red Dot is a two-day course that is designed to give students a thorough understanding of key concepts, principles, and techniques that relate to the use of Aimpoint® red dot sights (RDS) for combat or defensive shooting. The course focuses on maximizing the benefits of the red dot sight in terms of speed and accuracy. We’ll also dispel some myths related to RDS, revisit marksmanship fundamentals from a coaching perspective, and address some advanced topics like CQB moving and shooting and low light rifle employment.

While the material is fundamental in nature, this is an instructor-level course. The course is highly customizable, however, so it can (and typically will) be adjusted to the skill level and needs of each client agency.

Note that Aimpoint® Academy courses are sponsored by our friends at Aimpoint®, who don’t just talk about supporting the military and LE… they do it. They subsidize some courses to reduce the cost for agencies or units. Contact us for more information.

WHY TELLURIC??

INNOVATIVE, MULTI-DISCIPLINE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT.

  • We are fortunate to have a well-rounded team of experts on staff. More importantly, though, our proximity to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) and our ties to various LE agencies and military units allow for input from experienced instructors and operators from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.

THOROUGH PEER AND SME REVIEW PROCESS.

  • We integrate the input we receive from senior law enforcement and military professionals and various subject matter experts into our lesson plans as part of a disciplined, clearly-defined process.

DETAILED LESSON PLANS FOR CONSISTENT, LEGALLY-DEFENSIBLE CONTENT.

  • We choose instructors based on a number of factors, including experience, knowledge, humility, and public speaking ability. The backbone of our training, however, are the lesson plans that have been developed for each of courses. Detailed lesson plans ensure that courses are consistent and that course material has been properly developed and reviewed.

CORPORATE-LEVEL PRESENTATION AND LOGISTICS.

  • Having solid lesson plans and in-depth knowledge is important. Delivering that information clearly and efficiently is just as critical. We focus on presentation and logistics to help you make the most of limited training time and budgets.
