Dot sights are aiming devices that can significantly improve your shooting experience. Today, they are widely used for long-range shooting and can be installed on any type of firearm from sporting rifles to pistols. What’s more, bow shooters and photographers can also benefit from using them. Some models use an illuminated color dot, while others feature other shapes of the reticle. Usually, the color is red, sometimes it is green/red. Depending on their optical components, these sights can be reflex, prismatic, tube, or holographic.

Whatever the type, the reticle is projected along the axis that is parallel to the direction in which the sight is pointed thus making sure that the point of aim and point of impact coincide. That gives the shooter a great advantage both in terms of speed and efficiency. Today, there is a large availability of quality dot sights on the market so making the right choice is not always easy. When choosing the one, you should consider several factors including magnifier and night vision compatibility, brightness settings, etc. Besides, the choice also depends on your type of weapon and shooting environment.
