Simmons Red Dot for Practice

The single best way to increase shooting skill is to shoot. Most of us don't have the luxury of opening our back door and shooting into the back forty to get a bit of trigger time or to sight in a gun or study our latest handloads. But an airgun or a .22 still keeps you honed to a certain degree. Breathing, position shooting, trigger control, etcetera, can not really be practiced by any other way than shooting. Dry firing is good but boring, and it doesn't put holes in paper or anything else. Your local indoor firing range may be the best place to go.

Older eyes pretty much require some kind of optics for small targets, magnified or not, and questions arise about what kind, how much to spend, and so on. For a small amount of money you may purchase a Simmons Universal red dot sight and easily install and remove it from a variety of firearms. The Universal part comes in play with a removeable 7/8" Weaver style clamp that is simply turned upside down to create a 3/8" tip-off size adapter for most 22s. What else is nice is that a non-magnified red dot sight has no eye relief requirements and may be used on handguns as well as rifles. Buy one Simmons Universal Red Dot sight and swap it between guns to be used at the range with some inexpensive rimfires and keep your skill level up.
