Red Dot Pistol Shooting 101: Introduction
2026-05-21 13:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Rainbow Shooting Range — 3139 Rainbow Valley Blvd,, Fallbrook, CA, 92028
This is an introduction course to Red Shooting. You do not need experience, but you must provide your own pistol with red dot mounted. Red dots are becoming more popular, but that doesn’t mean you will slap one on your gun and never miss. Bring your favorite gun with a red dot mounted on it and we will zero your red dot and teach you techniques which will help you be more accurate.
