We feel straight out of the package most red dot sights, are pretty easy to use for your average hunter or shooter and this video was designed for the person who’s going to set up his handgun and sight for hunting purposes.

At the end of the day it's interesting to talk to long-term handgun hunters that absolutely love the red dots for a lot of their setups.   They're convinced that it gives them the fastest target acquisition and the best ability to shoot it at long distances and short distances simply by,  raising and lowering the gun and dialing it in. They've got a lot of confidence in them, but we promise you,  one of the biggest things they do is,  they've shot, shot more, and shot again to build that confidence level.

This allows you to build confidence in operating th sight while building confidence in the sight and fast and easy it is to acquire and pick up the target, whether you're shooting at a paper target or a big old Whitetail buck in the field.
