Optics | Sights | Red Dots

Dangerous situations can happen suddenly whether you are on the street or in active combat. When the time comes to take the shot, there should be no question that you can count on your sight to perform.

Practice and experience are key when deploying your weapon in an accurate manner. Depending on the distance away from the target, exterior weather conditions and assignment objective, men and women in the military and law enforcement may require additional weapon attachments. Some basic optics for rifles and pistols include:

• Front and rear sights for pistols
• Night vision monocular for nighttime shooting
• Red Dot scopes for improved accurate targeting

There are features that a shooter needs to consider when selecting a scope for their weapon. Some of these features include magnification, a field of view, eye relief, and the focal plane. In addition to tactical scopes, military personnel also utilize supplemental accessories to aid in accurate shooting.
