Holographic sight improves the static shooting accuracy and vertical sway precision during high-intensity dynamic action in the police task force

Abstract

The aim of this study was to find the effect of holographic sight (HS) on shortdistance shooting accuracy and precision during static and high-intensity dynamic actions. Twenty policemen (31 ± 2.2 years, 85.6 ± 6.1 kg, and 181.9 ± 4.4 cm) performed five shots in the 10-s limit under the static condition for 20 m and dynamic condition 15-5 m, and after 4 × 10 m sprint action, both with fixed sight (FS) and HS. The analysis of variance post hoc test revealed that HSstatic had higher shouting accuracy than FSstatic, FSdynamic, and HSdynamic (p =.03, p =.0001, and p =.0001, respectively) and FSdynamic had lower precision than FSstatic, HSstatic, and HSdynamic (p =.0003, p =.0001, and p =.01, respectively) in vertical sway. The HS for rifles has improved the accuracy of static shooting and vertical sway precision of dynamic shooting.
