ADVANTAGES

GENUINE HOLOGRAPHY

HWS® uses holographic technology to deliver a crystal-clear view of both the reticle and target simultaneously, unlike traditional red dots. Shooters maintain focus on both without needing to shift back and forth resulting in faster, more intuitive aiming, enhancing target acquisition in any situation.

NEVER OUT OF THE FIGHT

Even when the sight window is partially shattered or obscured by snow or mud, the HWS® will keep functioning and delivering pinpoint accuracy unlike red dots. One of the many reasons they’re trusted by America’s elite in the most extreme, hostile environments in the world.

RETICLES FOR ALL PLATFORMS

The renowned “speed ring” reticle combines a large ring with a 1 MOA aiming dot, enabling significantly faster target acquisition compared to a single dot. EOTECH also provides various other reticle patterns, including options with multiple trajectory points and range-assist features for added versatility.

SPEED RING

EOTECH’s 68 MOA ring is engineered for speed. The large outer circle is instantly visible, allowing shooters to quickly center their sight picture, while the four hash marks naturally guide the eye straight to the 1 MOA dot. This design makes it one of the fastest reticles on the market for rapid target acquisition at close range.

GREATER PRECISION

The 1 MOA dot in the HWS reticle stays 1 MOA regardless of magnification because of how holographic sights generate the reticle. Pairing with a magnifier gives you a sharper view of your target while preserving the reticle’s precision—so you see more without covering more.

PARALLAX MITIGATED

The design and function of an HWS® inherently minimizes the visual effects of parallax by focusing the reticle at distance.  The HWS® is Best in Class  at Minimizing Parallax and a principal reason why it’s the Close Combat Optic of choice for USSOCOM.
