Troy Industries Di-Optic Aperture sights set to score a direct hit
02:49PM / Friday, September 25, 2009
LEE, Mass. - Advanced design, superior sighting and battle-ready toughness define Troy Industries’ new Di-Optic Aperture (DOA) sights. The Di-Optic flip-type sights represent the latest innovation from West Springfield, Massachusetts-based Troy Industries, a top supplier of small arms accessories and full weapons upgrades.
The DOA’s key design strength lies in its rhombus-shaped aperture, which centers the eye on the front post instantly and effortlessly. In a heartbeat, the shooter zeroes on the target and is ready to fire. Circular apertures simply cannot produce this effect. The DOA’s optics, coupled with Troy Industries’ legendary battle-ready toughness, provide a dramatic advance in shooting speed, accuracy and reliability.
“We take a great deal of pride in designing products that are combat ready,” said Stephen P. Troy, founder & CEO of Troy Industries. “The new DOA sights are tough enough for any environment and the improvement in acquisition speed and accuracy is phenomenal.”
Another strength of the Di-Optic Aperture sights is versatility. The sights offer two aperture settings, one for up to 300 meters and a second for up to 550 meters. The sights flip up easily and lock solidly into place. They fold out of the way quickly with the push of a button. This versatility and ease of use make the Di-Optic ideal for military, law enforcement and home defense applications.
Troy Industries Di-Optic Aperture sights have been extensively field-tested and are engineered to exceed military specs. Troy’s competitors cannot match the DOA’s combination of advanced design and ruggedness, which is why Troy Industries expects the sights to impact the market in a big way.
“Our customers in law enforcement, the military, all types of shooters are as excited about these sights as we are,” Troy said. “We spent a lot of time making sure we got it right and we’re thrilled to get the DOA’s on the market.”
The Di-Optic Aperture sights will be available through the Troy Industries website: http://store.troyind.com/ and through a number of affiliated retailers.
