Laser Sighting Procedures

The procedure for sighting in a Beamshot laser is as follows. The Beamshot laser sight incorporates windage and elevation adjustments as well as a lock down screw. When the laser is attached to the mount the mounting screw should be tightened to the point of light contact. The laser can then be rotated in the mount until the dot is as close as possible to the iron sights on the weapon. The final adjustments can be made using the adjusting screws. The screw in between the 2 silver tabs is the lockdown screw. The screw closest to the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position will be elevation and the screw to the side will be windage. First back out the lockdown screw to free up the windage and elevation adjustment screws. Next use the windage and elevation screws to make the final adjustments to bring the dot so that it is centered over the front sight as you look down the barrel. When the adjustments are complete tighten the lock down screw to maintain the setting under recoil.

When sighting in the laser, the shooter has to sight in the laser for their practical shooting distance. For example, if the gun is to be used on entry type situations where the distance would be less than 50 yards, the laser should be sighted in at about 25 yards. This will give the shooter an impact point very close to the dot throughout the 1 to 50 yard range. Likewise if the shooting distance were increased from 50 to 100 yards sighting in at 75 yards would allow more accuracy at these distances.

The key thing to remember is that the laser travels in a straight line and the bullet will travel in an arc. This is similar to sighting in with a traditional rifle scope. When sighting in, some shooters sight their gun in so the point of impact is exactly where the crosshairs on the scope are pointing at 100 yards. Other shooters want the point of impact to be right on at 200 yards so the gun is sighted about 2 inches high at 100 yards so that as the bullet starts dropping it will have the correct impact point at 200 yards. The thing to also remember is that lasers do not have the precise ¼ inch adjustments that a rifle scope has so it is not recommended that the shooter try to adjust the point of impact on the laser between shots of varying distances. That is the reason for the shooter to sight in the laser midway between his most practical shooting distances for accurate target acquisition.

Why Beamshot^TM is better

Superior design, premium materials and quality craftsmanship make Beamshot the best value available in Laser sighting Systems

Beamshot Critical Design Components 

 
Front Cap - Flat glass window lens with anti-reflective coating to ensure better laser output and to protect against dust,powder and smoke. The o-ring sealed lens is waterproof and easy to clean.

Laser Module - To integrate optic, laser diode, and driver circuit into a patented solid brass structure for the best shock resistance and heat sink consideration.

Collimating Lens - Double sided aspherical plastic lens which provides better laser collimating and long distance visibility.

Laser Diode - 670nm wavelength for standard brightness 650nm wavelength for 5 times brighter (SuperBeamshot) 635nm wavelength for 10 times brighter (UltraBeamshot)

Driver Circuit - Single chip APC (auto-power-control), controller on board to perfectly stabilize the laser. This will maximize the laser's lifetime and battery hours while minimizing the size.

Main Body - Constructed of aircraft aluminum 6061T6 with matte black or silver finish.

Silicon Cushion - Designed to protect the laser module from the powerful recoil.

Springs and Caps - Strong steel springs for better support and better electrical contact.

Battery - Popular CR123A lithium battery provides 20 hours continuous on usage.

End Cap - 8.1 Positive contact PCB with reverse pole protection structure. 8.2 Seal ring for water proof.

Pressure Switch - Be-Cu spring with gold plating which can withstand more than a million times contact.

Removable Elastic Band - Elastic band which allows you to position the pressure switch in any area on the handle of the weapon which is most convenient for you.
