Bigpops Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Shot my first Open gun match this past weekend. On the first stage, second port, my dot came up missing. If found please return ASAP! (its small and red...I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 It's in your C-More somewhere. Don't ask me how I know. CYa, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yep.. It's usually in your C-More somewhere... If you wave it around a bit it will usually come back... Unless the lens falls out (as happened to one of the guys I know at a major match). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Amish 1 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Red dots are very shy creatures. Rocking the gun for a 10-15 seconds, forward and backward and left and right, may flush them and they come out of hiding. Try using a Texas star as a lure. Happy hunting!

SLM Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 This thread is too funny! A couple months ago my gun broke at a match so a friend lent me his. I was kinda a wreck after breaking my gun anyway and on the first stage with the borrowed gun I forgot to turn the dot on at Make Ready. I shot the first three targets and then realized... hey, there should be a dot in that little window! Tip the gun, crank the knob and back to shooting. A couple of the guys said they've never seen anyone turn a dot on that fast and if there was a classification for it I'd make GM in knob turning!

edison Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I always have sheet in my gear bag ever since I got the C-more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Red dots are also not fond of bright sunlight and replicate in the rain. They require a strong hand (or freestyle) and while normally smart creatures they seem to go dim on your most important stage. They are expensive to feed and if you let them lay on their side you have to clean them constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolguy Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Usually when the dot disappears it has come loose and fallen down to the bottom of the C more. If that happens, remove the scope from the mount, carefully remove the bottom and dump out the dot. You can then reassemble everything and put the dot back on the screen. Try to get it as centered as possible to avoid parallax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to get it as centered as possible to avoid parallax. I am 100% certain they fall off the screen and slide into the comp and get stuck there. That's why people rock their guns back and forth to get the poor bugger loose and slide it back into the C-more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every once in a while it seems when you've lost your dot it has run off some other part of your gun. Kinda like the dot ran away with the grip screw!

Hammar Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I tried shaking the gun real fast with no success. Apparently it does not function like a snowglobe. Who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I tried shaking the gun real fast with no success. Apparently it does not function like a snowglobe. Who knew? No, no. You have to shake it kinda gently. If you shake it real fast it does work like a snow globe... with just one piece of snow in it. Ever notice how fast they go? Your dot is floating around in your lens at warp speed if you shake it too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
