Hunting scene test: The hit rate of the red dot scope on moving targets within 50 yards is improved

Blog Article

During the hunting process, whether one can accurately hit the moving target is a double test of the hunter's skills and equipment. The red dot scope, with its unique advantages, has a significant effect on improving the hit rate when dealing with moving targets within 50 yards. We conducted tests by simulating hunting scenarios to explore its specific performance.

 

Test preparation


 

Site and Equipment

Select an open and safe wild area as the simulation hunting site, set up a moving target track within 50 yards, and simulate the movement trajectory of the prey. Prepare a hunting pistol or rifle equipped with a red dot sight. The red dot sight selected for this test has a 4MOA red dot and features rapid aiming. At the same time, prepare sufficient ammunition and recording equipment for recording the shooting process and results.

Personnel and Training

Select hunters with certain hunting experience and shooting basics to participate in the test. Before the test, the hunters were trained on the use of the red dot sight to ensure they were familiar with the operation of the sight, including brightness adjustment, quick aiming techniques, etc., so that they could fully utilize the performance of the red dot sight during the test.

 

Testing process


 

Traditional sight shooting

First of all, let the hunter shoot at the moving target using the traditional mechanical sight that comes with the firearm. The moving target moves at different speeds and trajectories to simulate the dynamics of the prey in real hunting. The hunter shoots within the prescribed time, records the number of shots and hits, and calculates the hit rate. During this process, since traditional mechanical sights need to precisely align the sight and the sight gate, when capturing moving targets, hunters have to spend more time adjusting the aiming, and it is easy to have aiming deviations due to the movement of the target.

Shoot with the red dot scope

After completing the traditional sight shooting, install the red dot sight and let the hunter practice adaptation to get familiar with the position of the red dot in the field of vision and the aiming feeling. Subsequently, a shooting test was conducted on the moving target again. At this point, the hunter can take advantage of the wide field of view and fast aiming characteristics of the red dot sight to aim the red dot at the moving target more quickly. The red dot of 4MOA is relatively large within a distance of 50 yards, making it easier to cover moving targets and reducing aiming time. During the shooting process, hunters can focus more on the movement trajectory of the target and the judgment of the lead time, without having to spend a lot of effort precisely aligning the aiming components as in the case of using traditional sights.

 

Test Results and Analysis


 

Comparison of hit rate data

After multiple tests and data statistics, when using traditional mechanical sights, the average hit rate of hunters on moving targets within 50 yards is approximately 30%. After changing the red dot sight, the average hit rate increased to around 60%, and for some hunters who were proficient in red dot aiming techniques, the hit rate even exceeded 70%.

Advantage Analysis

  1. Fast aiming: The design of the red dot sight enables hunters to quickly capture the red dot and align it with the moving target. In close-range hunting scenarios within 50 yards, quick aiming is crucial. The red dot scope significantly reduces the time from spotting the target to aiming and shooting, increasing the chance of hitting.

  2. Field of vision advantage: Its wide field of vision enables hunters to observe both the target and the surrounding environment simultaneously, better judge the direction and speed of the target's movement, make aiming adjustments in advance, and improve shooting accuracy.

  3. Reducing aiming difficulty: For moving targets, it is rather difficult to precisely align traditional sights. However, a red dot sight only needs to cover the target with a red dot to shoot, reducing aiming difficulty. This advantage is particularly evident when the target is moving rapidly.


 

It can be seen from this hunting scene test that the red dot scope can significantly improve the hit rate when shooting from a moving target within 50 yards. Its advantages such as rapid aiming, wide field of vision and reduced aiming difficulty provide strong support for hunters to accurately hit moving targets in actual hunting, making it a practical choice among hunting equipment.
