Aimpoint Announces New Acro S-2 Shotgun Sight for SHOT Show and Industry Day at the Range

Wednesday, January 17th, 2024

Manassas – January 17, 2024 – Aimpoint®, the originator and worldwide leader in red dot sighting technology, announces the release of the new Aimpoint® Acro S-2™ sight for SHOT Show 2024 and Industry Day at the Range™. Designed specifically for use on shotguns with a ventilated rib, the Acro S-2 greatly enhances hit percentage for small games, bird hunting and on the sporting clays course. The sight provides a compact, low-profile optic for shotgun hunters and sport shooters.

The integrated carbon fiber reinforced mounting system positions the Acro S-2™ on the lowest possible optical axis without adding unnecessary weight. The optic attaches directly to the ventilated rib and includes eight interchangeable adapter plates to accommodate most standard shotguns. The large 9 MOA red dot simplifies lead visualization, enhancing the automatic refinement of muzzle swing and positioning.

The Aimpoint® Acro S-2 is sleek with no protruding features, providing a clear field of view with both eyes open. The low optical axis of 15 mm allows for proper mounting of the gun to the cheek. For shooters who are cross-eye dominance, this new sight allows the shooter to use their strong side while shooting without an ocular or having to switch sides all together.

“Adding the Acro S-2™ sight to your shotgun provides invaluable feedback, as the red dot shows exactly where the bore is relative to the target. It makes a superb training tool for beginners, shortens the learning curve, and providing immediate success,” says Brian Lisankie, President of Aimpoint Inc.

Manassas, VA – January 17th, 2024 – Aimpoint®, the leading manufacturer and innovator of red dot sighting technology, introduces the new Aimpoint 3X-P Magnifier. Designed to work in conjunction with Aimpoint red dot sights, the 3X-P™ is a 3x power magnifying module built to withstand the demands of professional end-users.

Offered at an affordable price point, the 3X-P is the ideal solution to increase the distance of your aiming solution without sacrificing the advantage of extremely quick target acquisition.

Whether it is paired with an Aimpoint red dot sight or used as a handheld monocular, the 3X-P™ provides a crisp sight picture with a generous field of view. Utilizing the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle eliminates the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The magnifier may be used with the quick-detach Aimpoint® TwistMount, or with the FlipMount™ which allows the magnifier to be quickly flipped in or out of the optical axis or removed from the firearm completely.

“This magnifier increases the capabilities for many users of Aimpoint sights,” said Erik Jeppsson, Director Marketing & Sales Worldwide for Aimpoint. “We now offer a magnifier that fits the needs of demanding professionals, while maintaining a budget-friendly price point.”

HIVIZ Shooting Systems Announces Revolutionary New Sight…The FastDot H3

Tuesday, January 16th, 2024

LARAMIE, Wy. – January 15, 2024 – HIVIZ® Shooting Systems, the premier manufacturer of high quality tritium/fiber-optic and fiber-optic sights for shotguns, handguns and rifles, is thrilled to announce their latest innovation—the FastDot H3®.

HIVIZ has raised the bar for firearm enthusiasts, by introducing a reliable sight that is bright, easy to acquire and fast when you need it most.

The FastDot H3 provides the user with faster sight acquisition out of the holster and positive sight alignment feedback through conventional sight alignment. Instead of a traditional blade centered in a notch, this sight uses a circle within a circle. As the user brings the front sight into alignment with the rear, the front red sight disappears behind the rear sight leaving behind a glowing green circle to alert the user of positive alignment.

Features of the FastDot H3 include:

Fast Sight Acquisition

Easy Sight Alignment

Positive Sight Feedback

Improved visibility around sight picture

24-hour Illumination

A low-profile design, compatible with standard holsters

“Since 1996, HIVIZ has sought to improve the art of shooting through simple, yet innovative products for rifles, pistols and shotguns,” said HIVIZ President and Founder, Phil Howe. “With the popularity of red dot sights increasing over the last decade we saw an opportunity to use our expertise in iron sights and bridge the gap between traditional iron sights and red dot sights. That’s when the FastDot H3 sight set was developed. This sight set offers the simplicity of a red dot sight system while eliminating the bulk, it doesn’t require batteries and allows for faster sight acquisition right out of the holster. It is quickly becoming a favorite among many who require simplicity and speed from their sight sets!”

The FastDot H3 is built to enhance the experience for any shooter– beginner or expert. With tritium/fiber-optic front and rear sights, the FastDot H3 provides 24-hour illumination for a bright and visible sight picture and easy acquisition right out of the holster day or night. Shooters can be prepared to confidently align, aim and manufacture precise shot placement in any light or high stress environment.

The FastDot H3 is now available for purchase at authorized HIVIZ Shooting Systems dealers, online retailers and at the HIVIZ website www.hivizsights.com.

MATBOCK Tariser Eclipse 12 Years Later!

Tuesday, January 16th, 2024

Look what MATBOCK found when digging through their videos.

For nearly a decade, the Tarsier Eclipse has been on the market. This was one of the original designs that ultimately didn’t make the cut, a few reasons why it didn’t make the cut.
The material is less protective than the current rubber body, which acts as a shock absorber.
The inability to quickly identify how open or closed the iris is, even with cold weather gloves on.
Less parts that required being screwed together
Operators were inadvertently unlocking or twisting the body off when they adjusted the iris to “fully open” or “fully closed”.
Here is a cool pro-tip they just posted the other day.

Introducing the Atibal P1 Solar 1x Micro Prism

Monday, January 15th, 2024

The patent pending Atibal P1 is the first solar power illuminated laser etched reticle reflex optic.

Traditional reflex optics project the reticle against a plane of glass. The P1 utilizes a laser etched illuminated reticle which is much clearer and sharper than projected dots. These features eliminate reticle “splash” or “flare” many deal with from projected illumination.

The illuminated reticle is apparent with or without battery power. The patent pending technologies allow for the solar power to amplify and enhance the traditional battery power. The solar illumination is activated based on battery condition. As the battery degrades the P1 is designed to automatically compensate in a method we call “Solar Failsafe”. The Atibal Solar Failsafe adjusts reticle intensity during low battery power to conserve power.  The P1 automatically adjusts reticle brightness based on the amount of power the battery has and the solar cell creates.  

Solar Failsafe allows for brighter conditions, to provide a brighter reticle. While in low-light situations, the reticle softly steps down its intensity to perfectly match any lighting conditions. These features allow the P1 to have industry leading battery life of 30,000 hours and beyond. With Solar failsafe, you never have to worry about your battery dying because you always have a reliable backup power source whenever there’s natural or artificial light.

The P1 is the ideal size and weight for short range and close quarters engagements. The P1 has a “no-snag” design and its exceptionally small size and weight allows maximum agility in tight spaces. With “Shake Awake” illumination and a large eyebox are key advantages when speed and accuracy are paramount.  

The P1 includes a picatinny rail compatible mount set at an ideal height for most applications. It also utilizes the Aimpoint T1/T2 footprint to maximize options for additional mounting uses.

The patent pending P1 Solar 1x Micro Prism offers unmatched clarity, features, durability, and value.

The reticle is designed so that the 65 MOA outer ring can be used to rapidly frame the target until the center dot is realized and a confident shot can be placed. The uncluttered sight picture along with the both eyes open operation of the P1 enable the shooter to better observe the impact area and place accurate follow up shots rapidly when needed, all the while maintaining good situational awareness.
