Just what the doctor ordered! - TruGlo Tru-Tec 2 MOA Reticle 20mm Red Dot Sight

A friend of mine wanted to learn to shoot a shotgun. Problem was, she was cross-dominant - right handed and left eye dominant. She couldn't hit anything, not even stationary targets, at any range. The classical, and expensive, solution was to have a contorted stock made to bring the "good eye" in line with the barrel. That would have been difficult to make and cost more than her gun. This sight, on the taller mount, allowed left and right eye dominant persons to comfortably shoot her Mossberg 500. No one in our circle had ever used a red dot sight before, but we found this to be a solution that allowed everyone in her household to shoot her gun effectively. This is intended to be a home defense weapon. All anyone has to do is cover the target with the dot just as they would with a standard bead - and BAM! No notches and blades to line up. I've never seen my friend shoot so fast or so effectively. My guess is this would be a good prescription for many people with eye problems, including presbyopia (literally means "old eyes"). This is more than a solution for sportsmen as the light comes on automatically when the gun is picked up and shuts off automatically after a set period of time. Nothing to remember in an emergency situation. The long projected battery life is also comforting. All the adjustments were straight forward and easy to make. Sighting in with slugs could turn a shotgun into a 100 yard carbine. The only reason I didn't give this product a 5 star rating is that it is still too new to us. If it still works this well in a year, I'd gladly give it 5+ stars.
