Shotgunworld Overall Rating:  4-Stars - "...does in fact show true POI in every gun I tried it in"

Worst 1 - 5 Best

  I've waited in anticipation for the Arrow Laser Shot to arrive, but with apprehension as I didn't know how it would fit in my trusty SX-1 with a fixed choke. Fears were calmed when I saw how the unit was constructed, nicely done.

Construction is an almost 5 inch aluminum tube, a conical taper to secure the muzzle end, and a non-lateral, spring loaded three ball configuration locates itself further into the barrel. These three balls hold the tube centered in the bore and with the conical end secure, does in fact show true POI in every gun I tried it in. The three guns (two are choke tubed) I have used it in, have spent many thousands of rounds on targets and paper, I know what POI is and there were no surprises with the Laser Shot.

The trigger mechanism is simple and functional, a coil band is placed on the trigger finger (or any you prefer) and when it is grounded to the gun, the laser is there. A small wire from the band to the unit finishes the package, the wire is fixed on both ends.

Though I have just about shot up the house and every critter in the neighborhood (using the laser) it will surely have a place in my pickup for several reasons. It will be invaluable in determining POI while in a gunshop trying out a new gun, though I would give the gun the benefit of the doubt by checking with and without choke tubes if an error was found. One thing I think would have to be checked is to make sure a tube hasn't been marred by a wrench that might throw the unit off.

At the moment, my favorite target is a reflective stop sign, I tried it at 30-55 yards-----------this shows promise.

I would like to have had it last weekend as we were rain bound in the clubhouse, passing guns from shooter to shooter and each assuming what POI would be with them, this unit would certainly have helped in that scenario.

Preparation was little if any, I did clean/polish the bore deep enough for the unit, otherwise we are talking a few seconds to have it operative. Out of the box, in the gun, band on the finger and you are done.

I hope to urge my Wife to get into a regiment everyday with the unit in her gun, following seams of the walls, pulling up and shooting at given targets, I can't see it doing anything but helping her learn a sight picture and know where the shot will impact.

I am going to hold off judgement as a stock fitting aid til I try it on a few people, but looks promising at the moment.

The downside is at the moment.......................................I didn't have one before now, and I am a born skeptic.

Thanks Jay, SGW, and Arrow Laser Shot!
