Hello all,
I'm looking for a laser pointer that I can use to show or designate target shots at the range. My son is active in different shooting sports(Small bore Rifle, Archery, Muzzle Loading,etc) and I've been trying to find a decent way to point out hits on target and also be able to point out areas for him to hit. Shooting small bore at even 25 yards is difficult to point out hits on a paper target at times and even harder at 50 yards. Also, the other day, I had the idea of helping my son, and some of the other kids in his group work on archery skills by having them focus on more than just hitting the bulls eye and designating different points on the target to hit. I did it by removing the laser off my carry pistol and using it as a pointer.
So, I'd like something that's not a weapon laser and not 100's of dollars. I assume that I want a Green laser, but wondering if there's other colors out there that might work better in daylight. I don't need or want something to burn paper or start fires. The purpose and use of the pointer would be while people are behind me and never used while people might be in the path of it. Nothing really reflective would ever be used as a target in any situation so I really don't think Eye protection during use is any issue.
Thank you all in advance for your input. I appreciate any advice and insight you can provide.
