They'll shine them at a target and watch them bounce around. In a few seconds they must get

Lasers are not intended for slow fire bullseye shooting. They are
really for quick point and shoot situations or times when you can't
establish your normal hold or sight picture. (weak hand shooting from
behind cover or something)
I had one on my Ruger KP90 for a while and took it off. It seemed like
more of a distraction than a help. This was an early one that did not
really have great switch operation tho. I forgot about it until now.
That might be a good laser to play with for this project.


I've never had a laser sight, but I do have a laser sighting in kit, and
it does what it is supposed to do...it speeds up the process of sighting
in a firearm that's new to you, or sighting in a new red dot or scope. I
change out and swap around the add-on sights on my rifles, and the
sighting in kit makes it easy-peasy to get right on paper.

CZ does a very good job of sighting in its firearms before it ships
them. I was shooting bullseyes with the SCORP right out of the box with
the "iron" sights.

I have always had pretty good luck with the factory sights. It never
ocurred to me they would be that far off. Precision shooting with iron
sights is more art than science anyway.
My 2 "target" pistols (a target model Woodsman and a OM Colt 38) have
the Micro adjustible rear sight and I have tweaked them a bit.
My .44 Ruger Carbine had scope mounts but I always thought a scope
sort of defeated the purpose of a fast handling little carbine. A red
dot might be appropriate. I just never used it enough to justify the
cost. The 4+1 ammo capacity sort of limits its usefullness.

Well of course. I mean, after all, it is *you* you're talking about, right?
