Now that I think of it, that might make scoring good shooters handling .45s with an RDS much more difficult. More raged holes where more than one round might have entered. Leaving the scoring instructor with too few punches through paper.

"Sorry. The course of fire required five shots in 15 seconds. You only got three shots on the target."

"But," said Rob Leatham, "I'm certain I hit all five grouped right together!"
:biggrinjester:
LOL…
Honestly though, I can pretty much tell if a student is going to pass or fail within the first 10 shots. Most of the time I don’t even need to count the holes.

Did I miss something with the Red Dots? Is there a thread on that?
Just received this email reply from RSD.

Good Evening,



• Optical enhancers mounted on the pistol that has an ability to magnify or zoom the shooters field of view are not allowed. (Example: scoped sight or attachment that magnifies the target)

• Optic systems that do not provide any zoom capability but offer a sighting system within the optics are allowed. (Example: red dot or holographic).

Yeah, I can't remember which thread, but someone who got back from the first responder course said that the instructors told then that red dots are now allowed. I did just get off the phone with RSS and they would not tell me for sure but did elude to the fact that an email was sent out about the 18-20 year olds.. Also they said that if it was on the website that is what we are to follow.. And per the link a few posts above under the FAQ's it's plain as day...

Re: Official Answer: 18-year olds CAN get an LTC in Texas

You would think RSD would send out memos to instructors. Between this and apparently students are now allowed to use red dots, we don’t know what’s correct anymore. Ridiculous.
