Description

Hunters are adopting more tactical optics than ever, but the terms can get confusing fast. Wade breaks down the differences between red dot sights, reflex optics, prism scopes, and holographic sights.

Topics include:

  • Why RDS (Red Dot Sight) is an all-encompassing term

  • Reflex vs Prism design differences

  • Holographic sights (EOTech, Vortex UH-1) and astigmatism benefits

  • Why closed-emitter red dots matter for hunters

  • Offsetting red dots on rifles, spotting scopes, and even cameras
