    I'm trying to decide between this and the sage dynamics rds class. Does anyone have input on either class to share?
    I took the Sage Dynamics class last year along with the OP and skipped this one, so I may do the Modern Samurai class this summer.

    I'm a huge Aaron Cowan fan boi, so I would always recommend the Sage Class if I hadn't taken either of them. It's well worth it and will give you lots to work on.

    This is great info. I would consider myself to be intermediate pistol and red dot I've had a lot of training but nothing red dot specific.

    I am on the same boat, going to take Modern Samurai this year after taking Sage last year with @MCgrease08 - I HIGHLY recommend the class, posted a review last year: https://www.indianagunowners.com/th...banon-august-2021-review.510855/#post-8844834

    What level shooter are you and what is your experience with the dot? IMHO if you are toward the novice end I would start with Aaron and hit Jedi next time.
    I'll report back after Modern Samurai, but this sounds smart -- Aaron helps you pour a good foundation for red dot shooting, worth reviewing his white paper "White Paper: Miniaturized Red Dot Systems for Duty Handgun Use, Fourth Edition (2021)" posted on his website: https://www.sagedynamics.org/
