Abstract

The aim of this study was to find the effect of holographic sight (HS) on short-distance 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 x 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.
