What shooters are saying.

Hear directly from fellow hunters and shooters about how the Simmons Pro Target performs in real-world scenarios, from shotgun mounts to range days.
I mounted this on my TriStar Raptor 12-gauge and it's been solid. Sighted it in at 30 yards and it holds zero well. The only thing to remember is the adjustment directions are reversed, left is right, but once you know that, it's fine. Great value.

I've owned and used numerous Simmons scopes over the years. They just work. The Pro Target red dot continues that tradition—it's reliable, easy to use, and gives me the performance I need without the high price tag. Simmons is always my first choice.

As a beginner, this red dot made a huge difference. The big dot is so easy to find, and I can get on target quickly. It's survived being tossed in my range bag and a few bumps without any issues. A solid starter optic.
