Red Dot Scopes

Posted on  | 1 Comments

The red dot has been proven to be the fastest type of reticle to place on target and provides the greatest increase in hit probability on close quarter moving targets. The scope uses reticles which are illuminated by a red LED. The reticles take the form of a small dot and places the dot on a target for a precise aim. Adjustments to the dot on your target are done by an up/down (elevation) and left/right (windage) settings on the scope. Unlike regular scopes, red dot scopes are more easily used at shorter distances, but still can be used at longer distances, when combined with magnification.

Most red dot scopes are defined as Reflex sights, as opposed to EOTech sights, which are truly holographic sights. Reflex sights will not create a defined and sharp red dot, and may look a bit fuzzy, which is normal. When looking at scopes, the size of the dot is measured in “MOA” (minute of angle), one-half inch at 50 yards, one inch at 100 yards, and two inches at 200 yards.

Get On Target With A Gun Scope

Gun Scope Basics

Simply put, gun scopes magnify an image and put your eye on the same optic plane as the image you are viewing. Looking through the glass, the image is magnified by bending light rays through a series of lenses within the scope. All gun scopes have a reticle or cross hairs built in to reference the center of the field of view seen through the scope. There are other considerations when thinking about choosing the best gun scope for your needs such as field of view, magnification levels, what kind of reticle do you prefer, parallax error, resolution, lens coating, and price you’re willing to pay.

Many enthusiasts and experts say they would rather spend money on a great scope than on a great gun. If you can’t see where to place the bullet with accuracy, the gun is useless. Many hundreds, if not thousands of dollars can be easily wasted on ammunition, hunting and other costs if you do not intimately know your gun. Understand how to use your gun scope well because in moments when it counts, like in hunting situations, you often have enough to think about, like scent, concealment, and accommodating your body to different elevations. Do the work ahead of time so you can enjoy the entire experience.
