History
editIn 2013 Holosun was established in California. Their initial focus was on budget price weapons optics, although they faced general skepticism their low price point gained them market share. The quality of Holosun products although originally poor improved significantly through the 2010s to the point where it began to rival more established manufacturers.[1]
One of Holosun's innovations is “shake awake” where a motion sensor in the optic will power on the optic when it senses motion and power down when it does not sense motion for an extended period of time.[2]
