A red dot sight is different from a laser sight. Whereas a laser actually emits a beam of light onto the target, a red dot will reflect an image onto the glass of the sight and then superimpose a dot onto the target. Typically, this type does not magnify the target in the lens, but merely sights the target. This type of sight can also be used with a telescope. The sights without magnification are usually installed on handguns, sub machine guns and shotguns for use at close range. This type offers a pretty good level of precision and accuracy.
How does the red dot work? It has a concave lens with a very thin metallic coating that reflects red light only. The red dot is a reflection of a light emitting diode inside the sight tube. When you look through the sight, a red dot appears as if it has been projected onto the target. The sight does not have pinpoint accuracy, but offers some level of assurance that you will hit your target by employing proper aiming and firing techniques. In addition, It can be adjusted up and down as needed.
There are several types of red dot sights. There is the full tube sight which looks very similar to the telescopic sight. This type is often employed with a shotgun. It comes with additional features and accessories such as haze reducing filters, sun shades, and flip-up lens covers. Open sights are also known as mini red dot sights because they are smaller and weigh less than the full tube sight. Because they are smaller, however, they often do not have accessories and options such as haze filters and sun shades. Small tube sights have the ability to accommodate haze filters and sun shades, but are smaller than full tube sights.
If you are considering purchasing this type of sight, then the experts recommend that you first take a look through the sight to make sure that you are comfortable with the way the sight works. Obviously, if you are color blind, you may not find it to be all that helpful in improving the accuracy of your aim. You should also consider what type of red dot sight works best for you depending on your shooting needs.
