Red Dot and Holographic Sights Some Interesting Facts

Many hunters usually decide to use a red dot or holographic viewfinders. As we all know, holographic viewers and red points are not the same. Since holographic images have a greater field of vision and a greater peripheral vision.  But both products are often used a lot in the gun. The holographic Sights offer in the market is very limited, not so the red dots. The red dot helps a lot when facing and shooting fast. The great advantage they offer is that the hunter can even shoot with eyes open, gaining distance reference and field of vision. You should know about the Red Dot and Holographic Sights Some Interesting Facts.

As for the holographic viewers are those that project by laser a hologram. In this, case a reticle and not a red dot emitted by a led. The only holographic viewer in the world is the EOTech that has the technology and the patent of this system in the whole planet. Here we will share the red dot vs holographic Sights some interesting facts. All other existing viewers are red dots emitted by led.

Interesting Facts of Red Dot Sight

• When we see the sights that we have, we can see that there are several types of different magnifications. When shooting at different distances; however, one factor to consider is the bullet fall. For this, during our shooting, we use Red Dot to avoid target missing.
• The Red Dot mechanism consists of an external aluminum tube, windage, rear and front lenses, and adjustment turret housing, diode battery, and an adjustable brightness switch. By turning on the switch, permits the current to flow to the diode. This leads a red ray light on the front lens.
• The lens reflects waves contain a coating pregame that makes a dot in the direction of the shooter’s eye.
• The target dot point should not be too large then your target. Usually, the dot size is calculated in minutes of angle (MOA). The basic measurements state one minute of angle is equal to about one inch at a hundred yards. The five MOA dot can handle five-inch area as a target a hundred yards.
• This red dot has great successful history among hunters. It combines two things that hunters take into account, their quality and their price.
• The red dot size is variable you can adjust the point according to your target size.
• The price-quality ratio is unbeatable and makes this product a safe value.
• Red dot structure makes it easy to mount and helps to make a clean shot.
• It stands out for its four types of grid, which allows the hunter to be more precise in the halls, and its grid is dual (red/green).
• It is light and compact, not affecting the recoil of the rifle at all. Red dot eleven intensity regulation positions will help us face, depending on the ambient brightness. The optics are covered with antireflection.
• The red dot is adjustable in height and drifts with an integrated weaver rail for easy coupling to the rifle.
• It also helps to adjust with the gun by its length and its weight.

Characteristics of the red dot:

• It has lighting scales with shutdown memory.
• The range of adjustment of the grid: 4.5 meters to 100 meters
• Matte finish
• Anti-reflective glass screen with high resistance and light transmission
• Battery with duration of up to 1500 hours located on the side does not remove the viewfinder to change it.
• Protection: Waterproof and anti-fog
• Free of parallax and unlimited eye distance can be mounted at any distance from the eye, even in short weapons.
• Adapter to rail Weaver / Picatinny (installed)
• Adapter Sight platforms
• Screws for coupling to these adapters
• It has a protective cap

The holographic sight gives sight-interesting Facts:

• Greater field of vision
• Only one reference point is required in the holographic sights
• In the holographic, the position of the grid on the screen is irrelevant, so you gain in speed. Therefore, the holographic is another product different from conventional red dots.
• Holographic Sight takes much advantage of the sets and helps us win the animal to the mountain.
• Holographic sights offer versatility and speed in the face and shot.
• It is a compact and lightweight viewfinder, with its f weight and length.
• Holographic sights are a robust and modern visor, manufactured with standard military use, waterproof and can be mounted directly on rail weaver.

From the technical point of view, it stands out for:

• Increases: 1x and sealing of internal optics
• The temperature of use: -40º to 150º F using AA Lithium batteries, which is very interesting.
• Waterproof: Submersible up to 10 feet deep.
• Fit: (per click): 0.5 MOA (1/2 “to 100 yards). Adjustment range: +/- 40 clicks MOA.
• The surface of the optics: anti-glare coating
• Field of vision: 28 m. 91.5 m
• Battery status: duration is 1,000 continuous hours (Lithium) in the nominal configuration of 12, 600 continuous with AA alkaline batteries.
• Brightness: 20 settings.

Final Verdict:

The reticle is illuminated, it will help the face and it will give us a better reference in moments of low luminosity. In the case that the grid is in the focal plane we will simply see how the cross of the viewer or point, does not grow when putting the magnifications to the viewfinder. If not that, it remains in the same size, providing a better reference. Although this is not clear that it is so for short shots, so for these distances the hunter can go in perfect conditions with a focal close-up. The pistols must be 380 ACP or higher in good condition. It should have all safety functions activated, no telescopic sight, red dot or holographic sight on the pistols. All the loaders for the pistols must be supplied with only 10 cartridges and you can have up to 5 loaders.
