Thread: laser sights

does anyone use laser sights for goat or pig hunting? If they do what are the pro's and cons

point dot on target squeeze trigger

the cons are they could well get knocked off sight when scrambeling thru the bush and the rifle and lazer are nolonger poiniting to the same point
bang - dead dog.

mount them solidly and it wont be an issue. not with the pathetic alloy barrel mounts they come with

I always found them to be a waste of time unless you are useing them with NVG`s. Just something else to carry and most don`t hold point of aim very long at all.

I am going to be doing short range shooting. Would you rate them less than a red dot sight? or would you rather just use a scope, or iron sights?

I`d rate them below a Red dot & I prefer a Scope or open sights. I do use a Laser with Night Vision Goggles at short range out to about 80mts as you cannot use a scope or open sights with headmounted NVG`s so options are limited there.

do you think lasers spook animals?

They're retarded

Great to see you are still reluctant to put your deep and meaningful thoughts out there Pete. Yep, they are retarded.

I'd look at a 2 or 3 power scope for close range .Leupold compact maybe.

Yep can do. I know Stags don`t like being hit in the eye with one. If they are light shy they bugger off pertty quickly with a laser.
