The detailed footage reveals that having laser sights installed on a firearm can make the shooter more accurate and confident by helping to improve the two most important shooting fundamentals: aiming and trigger control. Segments of the video reveal how a laser sight installed on a firearm increases safety.

Numerous firearms experts are featured in the video while they are shooting and training at Arizona’s Gunsight Academy.
