SUMMARY:Combat Rifle Optics 12OCT24
DESCRIPTION:ACOG vs. LPVO vs. Red Dot & Magnifier \nFor decades\, the Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight\, or ACOG\, has been the king of weapon sights\, renown for of it’s toughness\, reliability\, quality\, and compact size\, but in recent years\, the development of smaller\, lighter\, and more capable low powered variable scopes has challenged the traditional notion that glass optics can only be used for long range shooting. Let’s also not forget the classic red dot and magnifier combination\, pioneered by EoTech\, that gives users both ideal speed in low light and at close ranges\, and also increased capabilities to identify and engage targets at distance. Which of these is the best? How do you use all of these various types of scopes on a general duty carbine?  \nCarbines that once used to be considered good for only 200-300 meters with iron sights these days have gained the advantages of free floating barrels\, match triggers\, quality ammunition\, and can easily hit targets out to 600 meters or more with the right training\, skill\, and optical sighting device. \nIn this specialty seminar let’s understand the unique niche that the Low Power Variable Optics\, ACOGs\, and Red Dot + Magnifier sights holds in the modern age of sporting and combat weapons\, allowing users to shoot faster\, and farther\, greatly extending a carbine’s flexibility and precision while still maintaining light weight\, a low profile\, reliability\, toughness\, and good close range weapons handling.   \nLearn how to maximize the strengths of your optic\, while mitigating and overcoming it’s weaknesses. Gather specific tips on zeroing\, range estimation\, reticle selection\, and engaging targets both near and far. If you have recently acquired a surplus ACOG through our school’s group buy\, or are considering purchasing one\, this is a great class for you to learn all about what it can do\, what it can’t do\, and how to use it. If you are looking to upgrade the sighting system on your rifle\, attend this class first before you potentially waste thousands of dollars on poor quality gear. We provide rifles and scopes for you to borrow!   \nWelcome to Part 4 of the Fall 2024 Combat Rifle Series: Combat Rifle Optics \nThe full package of 6 classes gives you an awesome price of $96 per class\, between August 15th and August 31st\, as a reward for those who are bold enough to grab the bull by the horns. Then the price will go back to standard price. Each class is action packed and 10 hours long. If you have a schedule conflict\, you may simply mix and match with future class dates\, to customize your package to your schedule. Email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org for details.  \nFall 2024 Combat Rifle Series dates: \nFall 2024 Combat Rifle Series dates: \nBasic Combat Rifle\, Saturday 31st of August\, 2024.Live Fire Battle Drills\, Saturday 14th of September\, 2024.Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Saturday 29th of September\, 2024.Combat Rifle Optics\, Saturday 12th of October\, 2024. Close Quarters Combat Rifle\, Saturday November 9th\, 2024.Advanced Combat Rifle\, Saturday December 7th\, 2024.  \nAlternate Dates: (In case you miss the earlier dates and still want to join for the later advanced classes) \nBasic Combat Rifle\, Saturday 27th of October\, 2024.Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Sunday 10th of November\, 2024. \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience to attend this seminar.  \n\n\n\nTopics:  \n\n\n\nDesign philosophy of lightweight low power variable scopesDesign philosophy of the Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical GunsightWhat makes a successful combat optic?Basic overview of function and capabilitiesProper mounting and levelingEye reliefDiopter adjustmentParallaxCleaning and MaintenanceUsing the reticle to range and shoot farther targetsBindon Aiming ConceptFirst focal plane vs. Second focal planeBackup sights and piggyback red dotsMounting to Kalashnikov and rifles other than ar15/ar10How much magnification do I need? Tall mounts vs. regular height mountsProper zeroing procedureMinutes of angle and MilliradiansHoldovers and holdundersFast wind estimationLow light considerationsRealistic and theoretical effective rangesHigh stress shooting and moving drills from 0-600 meters \n\n\n\nSchedule:  \n8:45 am Setup\, issue out ammo and weapons 9:00 am Safety brief and theory12:00 noon Low intensity dry practice and slow live fire to learn new technical skills 3:00 pm High intensity\, high round count moving and shooting drills5:00 pm Debrief\, clean up\, open range practice7:00 pm Go home  \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.
