Can you see the holo with both eyes open if you are eye cross-dominant? I can with my red dots but it takes a little "training session" each time I shoot that way. Not sure how that works with other type devices.
... I'm right-handed, left eye dominant and scopes are a huge PITA for me. I use a Bushnell Holosight (cheap Eotech) and have had no problems with it.
OP's looking for an optic for his little girl. She's tried scopes and had trouble with them. Bindon Aiming Concept is cool and all, but I think it may be a little much for a new shooter.How about an ACOG?! Best of both worlds! Zoom when you need it, Chevron when you don't. Plus you get your range estimation. Gotta love that Bindon Aiming Concept.
If I had to choose between Aimpoint and EoTech it would be the Aimpoint for me. Keep in mind tho, it all comes down to shooter preference.
I shoot both eyes open whether I'm using irons, a scope, or a red dot. Closing one eye always seemed to stress my eyes more, besides the whole losing peripheral vision thing. I am fortunate enough to be right handed and right eye dominant though so I don't have to worry about that sort of thing unless I'm at a practical rifle competition and have to shoot from reaction side. Red dot/holosight does make that a lot easier than using irons.Can you see the holo with both eyes open if you are eye cross-dominant?

Aimpoint micro has been around for much longer than sig's cheap knockoff they started packaging their guns with recently. The sig red dot is actually pretty meh, even for a cheap one. Primary Arms, Vortex, or Bushnell make better cheapo micro red dots.The Aimpoint Mseries is too bulky for my preference and the Micro series just reminds me of the Sig red dot and am not a huge fan of that look.
"red dot" and "holographic" are the exact same thing- reticle image reflected off glass.
why not just phrase the question, "aimpoint or eotech?"
not sure who invented this retarded distinction, but its gay.
I didn't know they were the same technology. My question was more of the difference between the styles (tube vs. the little window looking thingy).
Thanks for the replies.
