Trigger Happy Tactical Podcast – “Stop Hunting for the Damn Dot!”

Ever seen someone slap a red dot on their pistol and then flail around like they’re trying to swat a mosquito? Yeah, we’re fixing that today. Spoiler alert: a red dot won’t make you John Wick overnight—but if you train right, it’ll sure as hell feel like cheating.

In this episode, we’re diving into:
How to find the dot FAST (Hint: stop moving like a bobblehead)
Why your grip and stance still matter (because a shaky dot means you shoot like you’re at a rave)
Occluded dot training (AKA: Jedi mind tricks for your eyeballs)
Dry fire secrets (because if you ain’t dry firing, you ain’t trying)
Live fire drills to dial in speed & accuracy (because proof is in the pews)
How shooting competitions will expose your weaknesses—and your ego

So lock it in, load it up, and get ready to run your red dot like a pro! It’s time to stop searching and start shooting.
