The Dot Life

I recently attended The Dot Life firearms class taught by MDFI instructors Tim and Brandon, and it exceeded every expectation I had.

The course covered the full spectrum of skills and knowledge needed to become proficient with a pistol-mounted red dot. More importantly, it provided a solid foundation that allows you to continue improving on your own long after the class is over.

The class was extremely well structured. Every drill and lesson built on the previous one, making it easy to absorb a tremendous amount of information without feeling overwhelmed. By the end of the class, I was a noticeably better shooter with a much deeper understanding of both the "how" and the "why" behind using a red dot effectively.

I've attended a wide variety of firearms training over the years with numerous instructors, and this class stands out. The professionalism of Tim and Brandon, their unwavering commitment to safety, and their ability to create a fun, engaging learning environment were second to none. They challenged every student while keeping the atmosphere positive and enjoyable.

If you're serious about running a red dot on your pistol—whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your skills—I can't recommend The Dot Life enough.

The Dot Life- great course to help develop and build on existing RDS skills. A lot of people now use red dot sights on their carry gun, but their only experience with them is the one or two trips they made to their local range to put a box of ammo through their pistol to familiarize themselves. They are missing out on about 90% of what that RDS can do for them. it's like buying a Ferrari and only using it to drive to the mailbox and back.
The Dot Life helped people realize how much more they can get from their RDS and also help dispel some of the negative myths misinformed shooters have about using them.
Class is great- recommend it to anyone who runs a dot on their carry pistol.

Think of this as "Foundation Red Dot." Everything you need to get started with a red dot on a handgun will be covered. You also learn what to practice for best results. Tim lives and breathes the curriculum. I felt confident I was getting the best possible advice.

This was another great MDFI class. It was a great mix of teaching red dot skills and applying them. The instructor-to-student ratio allowed for a lot of attention and refinement. And the quality of instruction (Tim, Derrick, Grant, and Roman) was amazing, friendly, and very personable.

This class is a great learning experience for shooters across all ranges of experience in regards to running a dot. As an assistant principal my everyday job is to evaluate instruction and learning. Good teaching is evident and easy to spot regardless if it is in a math classroom or on the range in a defensive firearms course. Tim, Brandon and Grant did a great job of providing thorough explanations of the curriculum and frontloading shooters with the information that they needed. They would then break it down into manageable chunks/smaller drills that would then be scaffolded into a larger drills that put all the pieces together. The instructors would then model/demonstrate each drill before beginning to instruct it. They also provided great immediate feedback to shooters as they were conducting the drills, including pushing the more advanced shooters further and spending more time with novice shooters who needed the additional instruction/help. This is exactly what I would want to see when I walk into a classroom in my building. They did a great job overall and I highly recommend any class that Tim, Brandon or Grant are instructing.
