Aimpoint’s new Hunter series sights are our latest step in product development. These new sights combine outstanding optical performance and modern design features in a package that offers hunters the advantages of speed and accuracy, and will end their reliance on magni-fied hunting scopes. The Micro series sights are small enough to be used in applications where size and weight have limited the applicability of red dot sights in the past, and they are rugged enough to do the job required in those applications.

Around the world there are well over one million hunters, sports shooting enthusiasts, police and military personnel who use Aimpoint sights. We thank you for your continued support. For those who have yet to use our products, we look forward to showing you how Aimpoint sights will improve your shooting. Just wait until you see what we do next.

Sincerely

Lennart LjungfeltPresident

The President´s Letter

To Our Valued Customers and Friends: In 1974, a small group of Swedish entrepreneurs started exploring ways to improve shooting accuracy. Their goal was simple but ambitious - to create a sighting technology that would allow shooters to acquire their target quickly, and to hit moving targets in all weather and lighting conditions consistently and accurately. Little did they know at the time that their invention, the Aimpoint sight, would revolutionize the shooting and hunting industry.

In basic terms, Aimpoint’s breakthrough technology allows a shooter to do what comes natu-rally - keep both eyes open while focusing on a target. When a shooter looks into an Aimpoint sight, a red dot appears in the lens. The shooter can then quickly superimpose the red dot on the target. When the red dot is on the target, you’re on target. It is this combination of speed of sighting and accuracy that makes Aimpoint sights the preferred choice for beginners and experts alike.

Because of Aimpoint’s constant innovation and dedication to its craft, it is recognized as the worldwide leader in sight system technology. In our newest catalog, we have built upon our lat-est advancement, Advanced Circuit Efficiency Technology (ACET), further enhancing the quality and effectiveness of our sights. We also introduce the Aimpoint Hunter series sights.

Development & Quality

User friendlinessAimpoint sights are extremely user friendly. Operated by a mechanical switch or push-buttons, an Aimpoint sight can be easily and quickly changed to the right setting while simultaneously aiming through your sight. Our mechanical switch and push buttons won’t freeze and are easy to use whether you are wearing gloves or not.

Environmental awarenessAt Aimpoint, we take great pride in making sure that neither hazardous nor radioactive materials are used in our sights.

QualityAimpoint sights are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 and meet the highest standards of quality. Each sight is hand-built at our state of the art facilities in Sweden, assigned an individual identification number, and subjected to rigorous testing and numerous quality control checks during the manufacturing process.

Aimpoint’s Advanced Circuit Efficiency Technology We pioneered the development of the red-dot sight in 1975, so every Aimpoint sight has over 35 years of advanced Electro-optical science built in.

Aimpoint’s new Advanced Circuit Efficiency Technology combines our superior accuracy and ease of use with significantly lower power usage to maximize battery life. ACET sights can last up to 50,000 hours (over 5 years) of constant use from a single battery. That is 49,000 hours more than other competitive sights on the same setting.

Aimpoint has taken another giant step forward by applying its scientific expertise in developing the new Hunter series sights. The Hunter sights offer full length product perfor-mance with features like 34 mm tubes and digital bright-ness adjustments. Place the dot on the target, squeeze the trigger, and your job is done. Add an Aimpoint Hunter sight to your favorite firearm and put our science to the test. We’re ready when you are.

Aimpoint - Global leaderAimpoint is the recognized worldwide leader and originator of red dot sighting technology. After more than 35 years of working closely with experienced hunters, marksmen and military weapon systems experts around the world, Aimpoint red dot sights remain the No. 1 choice for com-bining ruggedness, speed and accuracy.

Why an Aimpoint® Red Dot Sight?

The Aimpoint PhilosophyWhen the time comes to shoot, there should be absolutely no question that you can count on your sight to perform. We believe that a weapon sight should simplify aiming while meeting the highest possible requirements for reliability and ruggedness. We know that conditions in the field place extreme demands on your equipment, so we design and test Aimpoint products to stand up to any conditions you are likely to encounter. We also design our products to operate constantly for years on a single battery so your sight will always be ready whenever you need it.

Why a Red Dot Sight?To be successful, shooters must be able to aim accurately and quickly under a wide variety of conditions. On a shoot-ing range, there is plenty of time to take aim, but in the real world, everything is in fast motion. Add rough terrain, foul weather, poor light and high levels of stress and even the most experienced marksman will be put to the test. Red dot sights are superior to iron sights and magnifying scopes in several ways. Using these other types of aiming devices require that the shooter’s focus leaves the target. With iron sights, shooters must align the rear and front sights with the target. Magnified scopes slow you down. Your field of vision is severely limited, and locating your target through a tube with one eye closed wastes valuable time and destroys your situational awareness. The single red dot has been proven to be the fastest type of reticule to place on target, and provides the great-est increase in hit probability on moving targets. Red dot sights allow you to remain focused on the target. Shoot-ing with both eyes open means that you remain in touch with what is going on around you, and will never again miss an important shot because your scope was on the wrong magnification!

Why an Aimpoint Red Dot Sight?Place the dot on your target - from any angle Aimpoint sights are parallax-free, which means that the visible dot remains parallel to the bore of your weapon no matter what angle your eye is in relation to the sight. This means you never have to worry about centering the dot inside the sight. When the dot is on target, so are you. You will be able to get on target fast, and can forget about being challenged by bad light or moving targets.

All conditions - Anywhere Aimpoint sights work in all light conditions from the dark-ness of the forest before dawn to bright mountain sunlight. They are fully submersible so you never have to worry about rain or immersion. Aimpoint sights are developed and tested to be used in any weather conditions, from the sub-zero temperatures of the Arctic to the heat and humidity of the tropics.

On any type of firearmWhether you have a rifle, shotgun, handgun, black powder rifle or bow, Aimpoint has a sight for you.

Standard features on all Aimpoint sights • Unlimited field of view • Parallax-free and unlimited eye relief • Unaffected by extreme weather conditions • Extremely rugged, durable construction • No hazardous materials • No laser emission that could be harmful to your eyes • Increased aiming confidence and hit probability• Reduced training time and ammunition consumption• Battery life measured in years

Portugal

A driven hunt for wild boar is my favorite game. Because I don’t want to miss when have the opportunity of a lifetime (like a big trophy running through the woods), I need to be ready for action. For that I need the right equipment: an accurate rifle, good am-munition and a fast, reliable sight. After testing almost every red dot sight available, I made my choice the Micro H-1 from Aimpoint. It´s strong, small, works in whatever conditions you can imagi-ne and (most importantly) it allows me to hit where I aim the dot. The perfect solution for running game when you must aim and shoot fast! The Micro H-1 is the perfect sight for a wild boar hunt.

Aimpoint 9000LWhether you hunt the local woodlot, the Arctic wilderness or the plains of Africa, the 9000L can handle whatever extreme hunting conditions you’re likely to encounter. Like all Aimpoint sights, the 9000L is built to handle heavy recoil and is the favorite on driven hunts around the world.

Accustomed to hunting with a scope, ha-ving used one for many years, I was a little apprehensive when joining this hunt for wild boar at Haslach in Alsace. The Aim-point red dot sight had just been fitted to my carbine. Although the aim was virtually the same as that of my scope, the field was much wider. After having adjusted the brightness of the red dot in such a way that it did not dominate too much, I simp-ly waited, taking aim from time to time in order to get used to my new sight, which does not feature a conventional reticle.

Suddenly, I could hear the dachshunds be-hind me barking and the branches crack-ing – our prey was on the charge. I aimed the red point at the second animal, which crumpled as my shot hit. No sooner had I reloaded and I had another of the beasts in my sight. It met the same fate. A victory on two fronts for this first test with the Aim-point sight - the ability to aim with both eyes open and a real gain in speed for this type of short-distance shooting.

On driven hunts you must be fast and precise. Every piece of equipment must be adapted for speed and accuracy - especially the optics. Aimpoint red dot sights are, in my opinion, the best solution for such situations. From zero to more than hundred meters, in dark woods, on snowy plains, sunny hillsides or in the middle of a heavy downpour, Aimpoint sights have never let me down. Easy to zero, precisely accurate, parallax free, extremely rugged, waterproof, and backed with a ten year warranty they are truly the “king of battle hunts”!

CompC3Despite its small size, the CompC3 can withstand the recoil of the most power-ful magnum rifles. Like all Aimpoint sights, the CompC3 works under all weather conditions, from the polar ice caps to the tropics. The phenomenal battery life provided by Aimpoint’s ACET diode means that you can literally shoot for years without changing batteries.

Specifically designed to use whenever you need a compact sight with a 30 mm tube, Aimpoint® CompC3 is the lightest sight in its class. With its compact size and light weight, it is per-fectly suited for fast-handling rifles and shotguns. The CompC3 mounts with a single 30 mm ring, which gives even greater weight savings over longer sights.

CompC3

A single optical sight for almost all types of hunting and firearms, yet still robust and compact. This is exactly what the Aimpoint sight offers. It’s only a question of time before everyone will be hunting with a red dot sight. I first used an Aimpoint sight when hunting wild boar and moose in Sweden. Ever since, I won’t be without it on driven hunt, when tracking wounded animals and on the hunt for big game in the African Bush, where accuracy of aim and fast acquisition of target are essential.

We recommend this simple training exercise.Cover the front of your Aimpoint sight with the lens cover (fig 6). Then bring your firearm into position while keeping both eyes focused on the target. The red dot will now be on the target (fig 5). Practicing this simple procedure will get you comfortable with keeping both eyes open while aiming at the target. That’s because with a traditional sight, your field of view is limited. You lose valuable time focusing through the sight rather than focusing on the target. You also lose eye con-tact with the target and you don’t get a general view of the situation and surroundings. After performing these exercises you are ready to get the most out of your Aimpoint sight. You will see how much easier and faster it is to aim your firearm with an Aimpoint sight and you will improve your shooting.

Mounting the sightWith the variety of models available, there is an Aimpoint sight for virtually every type of firearm. For a sight and a gun to function as a reliable unit year after year, it is important that the mounting is done professionally and the mounting rings and bases are of high quality. The Aimpoint red dot sight does not have a critical eye relief. This provides great freedom in locating the sight along the length of the rifle, and makes it very easy to fit them into a modular system that allows the mounting of several different types of sights on the same rifle.

With your firearm shouldered, with both eyes open and focused on the target, the dot will naturally appear where you want your shot to hit.

Practice aiming with both eyes open and the front lens of the sight cov-ered. After some training, you will be able to aim your firearm more easily and faster than ever before.

Learn to aim with both eyes open with-out taking your eyes of the target.

Aim straight, shoot betterHow to zero

A

1. Set up target at close range (less than 25 yards).

2. Place firearm in solid rest and center dot on target.

3. Take one shot. 4. Replace firearm on solid rest with dot on target (A).

5. Without moving the firearm, turn adjustment screws until red dot is cen-tered over bullet´s point of impact (B).

6. Repeat as necessary until point of aim and point of impact are the same.

Aimpoint sights are easy to zeroCAUTION: Place the firearm in a safe condition prior to handling or making any sight adjustments.Aimpoint’s red dot sights are optically centered. That means that if the mount base is properly aligned with your firearm’s action, only minor adjustments should be necessary. It is easi-est if you start the zeroing process from a short distance. We recommend 25 yards or less. This allows you to immediately see if further adjustments need to be made, which in turn can save you time and ammunition. Once you have set up a target, get the firearm in a solid rest, aim at the center of the target, take your first shot and inspect the point of impact, (fig 1&2). Check how well the sight is zeroed and then make any necessary adjustments (fig 3). Aimpoint’s adjustment screws are located on the top and sides of the sight, which allows for impact points to be moved up/down or right/left. After zeroing the sight at 25 yards, you are ready to zero at greater distances.

Aim straight, shoot betterIt’s simple. Keep both eyes open. For a moment, lower your firearm and focus both eyes on the target. Next, without taking your eyes off the target, bring your firearm into position so that you are now looking at the target through the Aimpoint sight (fig 4). The red dot will now be on the target (fig 5). It’s that easy! When the dot is on target, so are you. Since all Aimpoint sights are parallax free, you never have to worry about centering the red dot inside the sight.
