You do not have to look at or through the sight, you simply look at the target. The Lasersight projects an intense beam of Laser light onto the target. This is visible as a bright red dot. In smoke or fog the beam, as well as the dot, can be seen. Laser aimed weapons are normally used from dusk to dawn, in shaded areas or indoors at any time.
Reflective targets are available that allow use during daylight.
Simply adjust the windage and elevation as you would a scope and zero in on the target. The laser dot will indicate exactly where the shot will hit. Aiming from the hip, shoulder or any position, the professional or inexperienced shot will hit the target. The pinpoint dot, indicating on the target where the bullets are going to hit, is an excellent defense, training and targeting aid. Every movement of the shooter is translated to the target via the red dot.
