I teach a lot of different classes, mostly instructor training, but I also teach hunter education and some private lessons. Sight picture is challenging to teach because you have to convey an image to the student. With iron sights, this was simply done with stick figures and boxes on a target. With scope reticles, red dots and back up iron sights, the challenge of drawing a sight picture now requires artistry. Faced with a choice of becoming an illustrator or buying TrainingSights, I bought TrainingSights.
If you have ever been a student or an instructor of marksmanship, you understand the critical role of sight picture. It is simple yet very challenging to convey. As a Special Forces soldier, I worked in distant lands training allied soldiers in foreign languages. So did TrainingSights inventor Bob Lyons and that was the genesis of these simple yet essential training aids.
The concept is elementary. You could draw these images, but if you want to convey backup iron sights co-witnessed with a red dot, you are going to be there for awhile. On the left are four overlays of my TrainingSights showing the sight picture for a Leupold DeltaPoint with back up iron sights. I can explain co-witness and the acceptable location of the dot in the window in seconds with a clarity not possible with drawings.
TrainingSights are made from heavy gauge plastic. They are rugged and completely waterproof. I have used them in rain and snow.
If I have a struggling shooter, I can hand the appropriate overlays to a student and have him show me, on his target, what his sight picture looks like. That is the best way to have them tell me what they see.
They make scope reticles and shotgun sights. They even have grenade launcher sights if you need them.
If you have ever tried to teach sight picture for a ranging reticle with hold offs, you will understand how valuable these babies are.
The concept is simple and sells itself. The execution is elegantly designed and infinitely customizeable. If you don’t see what you need on the website, contact Bob and he will make a custom reticle just for you.
In most cases, TrainingSights come in three sizes. I find when teaching 20 instructors on the range, the 8.5 x 11 inch are the best for me because every one can see them and holding them against a full size target on the range the scale is good. Teaching private lessons in a class room, the 4×6 and the 3×5 size overlays fit in a pocket and work well up close. You are the best judge of your needs.
