Neomet Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Used to turn it on when I mounted the optic to the gun. Alas, 8 moa Aimpoints are relegated to history now so I turn my Cmore off between stages. I will say I had a buddy whose switch did break on the second stage of a match. Lucky for him it broke in the full on position so he could finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turn mine off as well after i shoot a stage and turn on at "Make Ready" Edited September 20, 2013 by ogiebb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm pretty new to Open, but I've tried to make turning on the dot part of my L&MR routine and turning it off a part of U&SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothandnail Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Since I have 3 to turn/off every stage, they stay ON Edited September 20, 2013 by toothandnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Moose Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I turn mine off between stages and turn it on when taking a sight picture/before LAMR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
314shane Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Turn it on when I make ready and off after I holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I turn the scope on as I'm walking to the start position, then I take a sight picture at the Make Ready command. That way I double check that its on and adjust the brightness of the dot as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman711 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I always turn mine on at Make Ready and off after Show Clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpcStn Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 My plan is to turn it on at L&MR then off after UL&SC and holstered but I have forgotten to turn it off after many stages (still relatively new to Open). I've noticed it on while helping to reset stages I've already shot...gotta work on the turn it off ritual. I change batteries the local match before a major match because I want to verify everything runs properly. At a major match last year I watched one of the top shooters either adjust or turn on his dot while moving from the first target to the next position! Was amazing to see...no panic just pure smoothness, like changing a mag. I think he finished 2nd or 3rd on the stage. So if it happens to top level GM's I suspect I may forget to turn on my dot some time in the future, ritual or not. I have to talk to Dean about shooting without the dot...!
