CAB33 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I just switched to an 8 from a 6 and love it in this FL sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hello: I love the 12MOA dot I switched from a 6MOA and can actually see it now. Accuracy is the same for me. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Seems that quite of few people are going to the 12 MOA dot, 6 and 8 are usually the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Switched from a 6 to an 8 to a 12 which I can now see in the sun. Need something other than some classifiers for verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think I'm one of the earlier converts to the 12moa dot and I don't see going back now...actually sold all my 6 and 8mmoa dots. I've actually put 16moa dots on my steel guns since the shots are all pretty close. I haven't seen a drop in accuracy and even at 50yds, the dot is barely filling up the width of the A-zone. Here's a somewhat newer thread: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71788&view=findpost&p=831049 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 just shot a 50 yd fixed time classifier last sunday...with an 8. going back to a 6 now-that sucker covered the A zone at 50! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Early on shooting open I found a 12 to be very helpful in finding the dot especially with odd positions and , after my presentation was grooved and I no longer found myself searching for the dot in awkward positions I have switched back to an 8. The one drawback to the larger dot was the target coverage at longer distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 just shot a 50 yd fixed time classifier last sunday...with an 8. going back to a 6 now-that sucker covered the A zone at 50! You realize that's not possible right? An 8moa covers roughly 8" at 100yds and 4" at 50yds. The A is much bigger than 4" wide (6" give or take). Your 8 would have to really be a 12 for that to have happened At the 08 Nationals I did pretty well on the 40yd standards with a 12 and any points I dropped wasn't the dot. I'm certain that it's a matter of getting used to seeing the bigger dot, because even an 8moa is nowhere near as wide as a typical front sight blade and almost nobody says a .100" wide blade covers too much of the A...even at 50yds.

Sean Gaines Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 4 dot here, Master Class, never liked the the big dots, come from the aim small miss small camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I wrote a treatise on dot size a little while back... search on it... I'm currently using a 6 - found a couple of modules that were bright. I can shoot the 12 quite accurately at any distance - you learn to use the top center edge of the dot much like you'd use a wide front sight. My problem with the 12 was that it was too much visual stimulus - I ended up shooting at brown far more than with a smaller dot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never against additional stimulus...oh wait, v i s u a l stimulus....got it. Never mind I actually would like to try a 10, but I haven't seen one for sale in a long time...not sure why they stopped making them. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Niner Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 8 MOA for me Ricky. You can take a peak at next Saturday's SEPSA match if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hello: I adjust the intensity of the dot if I am using it for tight shots. I turn the dot up for hoser stages and steel. I would look threw as many dots as you can to see what looks better to you. I have seen some dots that are bigger than others for the same size dot Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan R. Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Tried my friends gun, now I'm switching from 8 to 6. Seems much more crisp to me if that makes any sense!! Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwshack Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Ricky H I was using a 4 but have changed to a 8 min dot. I just fine that my eyes pick up the larger dot faster. Just my 2 cents.. lwshack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 8 or 12. If they made a 10, that would be my choice. 6 gets very hard to see in the FL sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Ricky, I will have both of my open guns Saturday.One is a 6 min and the other is an 8. You are welcome to try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki999 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I went from an 8 to a 6 and i like it very much, most of our matches are inside during the year. When shooting outside i have to make sure there is new battery in my c-more. Not reciured for every target but for targets in the sun it's recuired.
