does any one else feel this way? I used to like them early on. but as I have improved my skills with iron I find red dots to be limiting. I've come to the point where I can raise my rife up and achieve a proper stock weld just as fast as I can with dots. also isn't "reflex" shooting a sure way achieve collateral damage or friendly fire?
also using small aperture type sights provides a much sharper sight picture, (light through a tiny hole does magical things, even for 20/20 vision) and gets me much tighter groupings.
last, durability. I would never want to depend on one as even the best EOtech
can be rendered useless by a stray blast of dust or dropping it in the dirt.
So are we just kidding ourselves and falling for the shiny high tech appeal. sure I would still put one on a hand gun any day, but for a rifle I think I will go back to good old iron.
I'm not judging any one's choice for what they are comfortable with. only you know what works for you. (Dawning flame proof suit)
