World's First Holographic Sight

The first ever Holographic Weapon Sight wasn't actually an EOTech, it was the Bushnell HOLOsight. But as it turns out they were made by EOTech on Bushnell's behalf. In this video we take a look at the original 1996 model of the Bushnell HOLOsight, and see how it differs (or doesn't) from a modern EOTech.

Corrections:
2:47 Typo, should have been 20 years not 25 since the Vortex UH-1 came out in approximately 2017
3:43 EOTech produced an variant of the HWS called the 520 with a 3D reticle specifically for archery use. It was discontinued not long after they started spinning up production for military and LE contracts.
