What are Red Dot Sights?
Red Dot Sights are non-magnified optical aiming devices designed for fast, precise target acquisition. They project a bright illuminated dot onto a clear lens, allowing shooters to aim with both eyes open for maximum awareness and speed.
Perfect for close- to mid-range use, red dot sights are widely used in gel blasting, airsoft, tactical training, sport shooting, and general recreational shooting.
What Red Dot Sights Do
- Provide a quick, easy-to-see aiming point
