Aimpoint Micro H-1
          Wins Editor's Choice Award
Petersen’s Hunting Magazine Awards an “Editor’s Choice” to the Aimpoint Micro H-1 Sight
Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in electronic red dot sighting technology, announced that the Aimpoint Micro H-1 sight has received an �“Editor’s Choice” award from Petersen’s Hunting magazine as part of their recently published red-dot sight field test.
The Micro H-1 is a full featured non-magnifying compact sight that offers hunters a very high degree of versatility as it can be mounted on center and rim fire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns, and bows.� Weighing only 3.7 ounces, these sights are the smallest and lightest red dot sights tough enough to bear the Aimpoint name.� The Micro H-1 is fully waterproof, has twelve� brightness settings, and provides up to 50,000 hours (over 5 years) of battery life using a single battery.
“Receiving this acknowledgement from such an esteemed publication is true validation for Aimpoint,” said Steven Giordano, Aimpoint’s Vice President of Commercial Sales. �“Petersen’s Hunting is one of the oldest and most prominent hunting magazines available. Their understanding of the advantages of hunting with a red dot sight, and this recognition of� the Micro H-1 will assist us in delivering that same message to millions of hunters across North America ”.

he Aimpoint CEU is mounted behind the Aimpoint sight and rotates a full  260○  allowing the operator to safely look around either right or  left-hand corners,  up staircases or down tunnels from almost any angle.  Since the Aimpoint CEU does  not affect the sight�s point of impact,  the CEU can easily be passed from one  operator to another using the  company�s revolutionary TwistMount�. Most  importantly, the compound  optics contained in the CEU gives the operator a true  image, not the  distorted mirror image found in the cheap reflective devices  currently  being offered on the market. 
          
Originally prototyped in 2005,  the  CEU was completely re-engineered following reviews of the initial  concept  with active military units. Compatible with all Aimpoint  sights, the new  Aimpoint CEU is much smaller and lighter than the  originally planned design,  reducing the weight of the unit by more than  50%. The stabilized internal optics  were optimized for better image  quality, allowing targets to be identified and  engaged more rapidly. A  lanyard loop was added to aid in retention of the unit,  and the chassis  design was changed to allow the CEU to be quickly stripped from  the  weapon if required. The CEU can be used as a hand held viewing device.
