Dot Sights: Not Just For New Hunters

A dot sight can be a helpful tool for any hunter or shooter — not just newbies.

Whether you’re mounting one on your shotgun for gobblers or whitetails, using it for your handgun, or placing it on a short-range lever-action, a dot sight can make you more effective.

Field of View: While magnification limits field of view, dot sights allow for an unlimited field of view for staying locked on your target and its surroundings.

Target Acquisition: When you have a wary bird just a few yards in front of you, you have to be able to lock in and fire fast. A dot sight helps you quickly get on target and make the shot.

Accuracy: A dot sight can eliminate the guesswork and element of human error for increased accuracy and more filled tags.

While dot sights are great for helping new hunters gain confidence and experience, these tools can be invaluable for even the most experienced outdoorsmen.
