JeffWard Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I shot a carbine match last night. It was my first match with my Burris MTAC 1-4. I knew it was going to take a bit to get use to a new optic. First stage, we had a few 3.5" paper plates (steel) in close. It was MY stage design, with a few plates at 2 yards, and a few out past 20... To start the stage, I turned on my optic, took a quick sight picture on a full size IDPA target before LAMR, nose on the charging handle, set the brightness, good to go.... BEEP! 4 large papers in a few seconds, everything's great... then the first set of 3.5" paper plates... WTF! The plates are all over the place, and TOO DAMN BIG! Shit... Ran the rest of the stage, SLOWLY, constantly searching for the small plates (12 of them) in the damn optic. Got to the end of the stage and sure enough.... Scope was still on 4X from my 100 yard sight in... CRAP! The next two stages were FANTASTIC save one clipped no-shoot because I was blazing away TOO FAST with the scope set on 1X... Tell you what, a 3.5" paper plate at 2 yards on 4 power... That's tough! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EkuJustice Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 At that rate it would have been faster to change it back to 1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc361 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 LMAO. Been there done that. Those targets become so huge is impossible to transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm31 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's really hard to make a shot on a big buck at 4 yards on 12x too....haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Be sure and put a Switchview on that riflescope and use it when moving to the next shooting position... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MoreChains Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think for this reason I am going to be looking at a set of offset irons this coming season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSwift Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Did something similar, but just looked off and eyeballed it down the rail. The edges of the rail cross blocks make a usable ad hoc iron sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
