Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my accuracy with a red dot sight?

Focus primarily on your target, not the red dot itself. Break the shot when the red dot enters an acceptable zone on the target, rather than waiting for perfect stillness. Practicing a natural point of aim also helps the dot appear on target faster.

What is the best way to aim with a red dot?

Shift your focus to the target. As you bring the firearm up using your natural point of aim, the red dot will appear. Initiate the trigger break once the dot is acceptably aligned with your point of impact on the target.

Should I wait for the red dot to stop moving before shooting?

No, it's more efficient to shoot when the red dot is within an acceptable zone on the target. Waiting for it to become perfectly still can slow down your shot process significantly. Look for a 'streak' in the acceptable zone.

What is a 'natural point of aim' when shooting?

Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) is the position your firearm naturally settles into when your body is aligned correctly and relaxed. Learning your NPOA allows the red dot to appear on target with minimal effort, improving speed and consistency.
