I thought the purpose of a forum was to answer people’s questions.
Thank you. Honestly. I never heard of ultra dot. I did some research and they look great. Being this is my first year doing a pistol league, I want to keep my expenses to a min. The brands I mentioned are available to me with great discounts on EV. Ultradot isn’t. I do appreciate the feed back though.
Ok. Why the chip on your shoulder? It was obvious in your first post.
I’m still new to the bullseye. I might not enjoy it. I don’t want to invest a fortune in it yet. If you don’t have something constructive to say, then F**ck off. Seriously.
None of my business, but you chose one of the most stand up guys on the site to fuck with, good job!
then don't run a dot at all? better than buying cheapo red dots. buy once cry once and use the right tool for the job
I know there are a lot of good people to learn from here. That’s why I’m on here. But I I absolutely can NOT stand people who interject their 2 cents without providing anything useful. I have done a LOT of research. I narrowed down my choices to the 3 I mentioned. Not because I think they are the best, but because I have an alternate use for them should I decide to upgrade in the future. I think I am a decent shooter. Pistol and rifle. I am by NO means as good as the majority of people here. I will be using open sights for this season and honing my skills.People here are a wealth of information. They are willing to share it. One lesson we have all learned is the high cost of low cost items. Not because we are smarter than you, but because we made the same mistakes.
If you want to develop your skills, consider starting with good basic gear. (Like your pistol. Excellent choice) Learn to shoot the iron sights and see if you like the bullseye game. If you do, you will have a good basic skill set and can select a good red dot and move forward. If you must buy your skills rather than learn them, you will need to invest far more and success is still doubtful.
With your attitude I suspect you will 1) Ignore this advice 2) Fail to learn the basics of pistol shooting and move on to something else.
There are some very knowledgeable pistol competitors here like @308pirate and others IIRC. Don't expect a high tolerance of your attitude here. More so with @308pirate
I will stick around as you have the potential to join our epic thread group. Might want to look into that as well. Lot of bad examples you can learn from.
BTW, How many bow kills do you have?
Oops. Honestly, his first response to my post was basically “dont use red dots because people with red dots don’t know how to shoot”. It was a dumb comment with no useful feed back. I did respond to someone who mentioned a different brand. He provided useful information with a reason behind it. If that guy has something useful to say, I’ll listen. If he wants to insult people using red dots, I’m not listening.
You’re here to learn. Lesson 1: Read the part again about learning the high cost of low cost items.
I completely understand what that means. I know what buy once cry once is. There is a reason I chose those 3. If I continue in the league and upgrade to a better red dot, I’m good spending the money there. The dot I choose from my list will be used on something else. This isn’t just a “buy cheap” deal. I have a lot of factors in play.
Cool. That said. I’d still choose option 4 - none of the above. Keep saving for a nice red dot because you already like them.
Lol
interesting. From what I found, Aimpoint wasn’t really a good brand. I’m not saying swampfox is by any means, but I thought aimpoint was on par with truglo.
I do want green. It’s much easier on my eyes.
Things seem to be going that way. What I don’t want to do is invest in an expensive one and not like it. All I’ve used are open dots, but I’m learning enclosed are the way to go. My league is all indoor and my pistol won’t get any abuse unless I drop it.
Trijicon offers a 1MOA RMR. Sounds perfect for your use.
Yeah. I’m well aware. The red dot would just be for shits and giggles on the AR. Testing loads and stuff.
I haven’t seen a 1 moa anywhere. Thank you. I’ve mostly been looking at 2 and a couple 3.
If I continue in the league, I’m looking at a few different upgrades. Haven’t gotten too in depth yet. I can get the Trijicon 1 moa for under $400. So it’s not terribly priced for me.
I just found this EXACT same statement on bullseyeforum.net from 2-2-2020 a guy named Mike meyers.
I would go with Vortex Venom. I just like Vortex stuff. Sorry about the guys going off post. That is how it goes on here
