This guide details the 'occluded optics' training technique, which uses a covered red dot sight to improve target acquisition and proficiency, especially for new pistol optic users and those who are cross-dominant. By forcing the shooter to focus on the target with both eyes open, this method helps create a unified sight picture and speeds up the process of aligning the reticle. It's presented as a cost-effective training aid for both pistol and rifle optics.

The drill emphasizes consistent fundamentals, the 'Squirrel and the Nut' red dot sight acquisition technique, and performance tracking across various distances.
