About Sheepdog Response:
Sheepdog Response was founded by Green Beret, Special Forces, Sniper, and former top 5 UFC Middleweight, Tim Kennedy. Tim was also the co-star of Hunting Hitler on the History Channel, and more recently, Hard To Kill, on the Discovery Channel.
People face threats of violence every day, ranging from large-scale terrorism to one-on-one assaults. Most people are unprepared, unequipped, and untrained to respond effectively. This weakness in the flock allows the wolves to attack with great ease and success.
The answer is not more laws. The wolves don’t follow them. We must give the good guys the tools they need to effectively respond to violence. The more Sheepdogs we can train to be truly ready to respond to a mass shooting, terrorist attack, violent mugging or home invasion, the better the chances are that the bad guys will get what they deserve and the good guys will survive. Most people sign up for martial arts or weapons training expecting to learn realistic self-defense, and few get it…
We have developed a curriculum that addresses the skills you need to successfully respond to threats
What are the make and model that you have in front you.
Very good presentation !! I believe that function is most important, not looks though.
You need to study MOA a bit more to be able to explain it correctly.
There’s absolutely no reason why a small little gadget that projects a small little red laser dot costs $900+. No reason.
Your entire explanation of Mia is garbage. In this instance, it’s simply the size of the area the dot covers AT THE DISTANCE OF 100 YARDS.
A 3 moa dot covers 3 inches AT 100 YARDS. If your target is nearer than 100 yards the dot covers proportionately less area. Example: target is 33yards distant, the dot covers 1 inch of area. At 66 yards, dot covers 2 inches.
Small dots are most effective for greater accuracy but harder to pick up.
A 6 moa dot covers 6 inches of area AT 100 YARDS. It covers 2 inches at 33 yards and 4 inches at 66 yards. While a larger dot is not as precise, it’s a hell of a lot easier to see and put on the target.
Obama is that you??
The best red dot is the one that you are happy with.
I love Vortex. Their red dots are great and the warranty is for life. For the price, quality, and warranty I don’t think they can be beat.
This video only tells us one thing definitively… This dude knows very little about red dot sights.
Which is your favorite red dot to use?
Best reticle for pistol red dot is the vulcan. Developed by Dimitri at primary arms. He offered to aimpoint and trijicon. They passed. Holosun scooped it up. Game changer
Not cool of that guy to do black face
FFS….Please stay in your lane. So much of your "advice" given here is such BS.

Red dots on carry guns are dumb. Learn how to shoot
