High-Tech Sights

A holographic sight constructs a reticle that is projected out to the target plane by using a large, high quality aberration-free lens. The reticle image can be of any light pattern, any geometric shape or size, and produced in either two-dimensional or three-dimensional form. The holographic reticle is uniformly bright and distortion-free regardless of image size. A parallax free image is created with a large and bright aiming pattern allowing quick target acquisition. At the same time, it can produce an aim point as small as the human eye can resolve to achieve the highest aiming accuracy possible without magnification.

EOTech's consumer-available hunting HWS uses state-of-the-art digital electronics design with 20 brightness levels for use from low light or bright sunlight. An on-board microprocessor provides an automatic battery check indicator, up/down brightness scrolling and programmable auto shutdown features. All electronics are fully encapsulated in shock absorbing resin. The holographic patterns have been designed to be instantly visible in any light, instinctive to center regardless of shooting angle. Reticles are designed as large, see-through patterns for quick target acquisition without covering or obscuring the point of aim.

Uniquely, all the information required to reconstruct a holographic reticle image is recorded everywhere in the visible display window. If the window is obstructed by mud, snow, rain, or even cracked, an EOTech HWS or Bushnell HoloSight remains fully operational, with point of aim/impact maintained. As long as the hunter can see through any portion of the window, the entire reticle pattern is visible on target, even at the extreme corners or edges of the field of view with zero parallax.

Yes, the HoloSight looks odd to the eyes of those wedded to traditional scope sights, or even to those accustomed to the look of almost-now-conventional electronic dot sights. Like all new-generation hunting sights, it really, really, works.

I'm sold on them all.
