When it comes to Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs), there’s one feature that can make or break your shooting experience: the Field of View (FOV). It’s more than just a spec—it’s the difference between spotting a target in time or missing it entirely. Enter the Thrive HD 1-8×24, a scope designed with one of the widest FOVs in its class.

Why FOV Matters

Imagine tracking a fast-moving target through dense brush or scanning open terrain for elusive prey. At 1x magnification, the Thrive HD gives you an industry-leading 124.79 feet FOV at 100 yards, letting you see more of your surroundings while keeping your target in view. Even at 8x magnification, you still enjoy 15.29 feet of FOV, ensuring clarity and awareness for medium-range engagements.

Engineered for Performance and Durability

The Thrive HD isn’t just about optics—it’s built to handle whatever you throw at it. Crafted from 7075-T6 aluminum, this LPVO combines strength and reliability with a lightweight design. Add in waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof construction, and you’ve got an optic that’s as tough as it is versatile.

Illuminated Reticles for Every Scenario

With two reticle options—PHR 4 and German 4—the Thrive HD adapts to your style:

• PHR 4: A modern reticle with sub tensions permitting speed and leading moving targets.

• G4: A classic style reticle for fast, intuitive target acquisition.

Both reticle options are illuminated, ensuring visibility in low-light situations, whether you’re hunting at dawn or dusk.

Designed for Versatility

From close-quarters engagements to medium-range precision, the 1-8x magnification range covers all your bases. The second focal plane (SFP) reticle permits maximum visibility over the entire magnification range, giving you confidence in every shot.

See the Bigger Picture with Thrive HD

The Thrive HD 1-8×24 SFP LPVO isn’t just an optic—it’s your ticket to better situational awareness and precision. With its exceptional FOV, rugged construction, and advanced features, it’s setting the bar for LPVO performance. Ready to see what you’ve been missing?

For Immediate Release: Crewkerne England – Pioneer in red dot sight manufacturing and design, SHIELD Sights announces the OMSsc Sub Compact Red Dot Sight. The OMSsc is the first transparent roof red dot sight providing an unparalleled field of view and a more accurate measure of ambient light conditions.

The OMSsc takes the compact and unobstructed field of view to the next level. Like the RMSsc, the OMSsc uses the smaller CR1632 battery to minimize the sight width and  provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. The main body is composed of machined aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium and anodized for excellent corrosion resistance. The all-new clear glass lens has no magnification and features an anti-reflective clear coating to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.

Like the other optics in the SHIELD Sights line up, The OMSsc shares the SHIELD standard footprint allowing backward and forward compatibility and the ability to co-witness with standard height iron sights. The OMSsc is always ready with no need to shake awake or turn on, simply draw, aim, and shoot. The open top combined with an auto brightness adjustment that samples the ambient light thousands of times per second provides optimal brightness for the current lighting environment.

Features

– Aerospace grade anodized T6 6082 Aluminium offering excellent corrosion
