JAF1680 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have been using a 6 but ordered a 4. I think it is going to be my go to size in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theWacoKid Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I used an Arredondo glare shield and was happy with it. When I changed to my 4 MOA dot though, something wasn't right, I kept losing it. Assumed it was the dot till my brother pointed out it was actually the glare shield. I could see the dot dead centre of the glass, but it disappeared with any movement away. I've ditched the cover now, and can see the dot right to the edges of the glass. I didn't like the glare shield either. Unless I was exactly centered, I would loose the dot. Yeah I tried the Arrendondo shield and had issues with it blocking the dot at some angles. I switched to a LIMCAT shield with the small aluminum pad between the dot module and the glare shield and have had 0 issues since switching. Same here I tried a shield and you loose the dot if not centered. So I took the shield off I realized my shield was allowing the dot to show all the way to the left edge of the glass but blocking it well before it got to the right edge. Very annoying, but I didn't want to ditch the shield. I was able to take a razor blade to the corner of the right side of the shield and a little trimming cleared it up and stopped obscuring the dot on the right side.

PWSLMT Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Had an 8 then went to a 6. I like the 6. I think going down to a 4 will have enough sun issues I will stick with the 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also put on an Arrendondo sun shade cover. I had to modify it but it helped even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallisticianX Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I run 8 moa on my open pistols and Revolvers for everything other than bullseye shooting. I had a 6 and a 4. The 4 washes out bad on bright New England days. The 6 was ok but not as bright and noticeable as the 8. Another plus to the 8 is when your battery starts to die (always at a match of course) the 8 will be more noticeable and still usable as it starts to dim as compared to anything smaller.

BSComp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Brighter kind of = bigger. Basically the dot flares up a bit as they get really bright. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSComp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I like my 6. It's a great compromise, on long (40-50 yd) shoots on steel it doesn't "hide" the 'center' plate of the popper. Also, It seems that you get used to what you train, play, and compete with .... so in that vein, to each there own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hello: Well, I am going to try a 4MOA dot this weekend and see what that brings. I am liking the 6 MOA dot so far but just want to try something else. I will see how it goes on Sunday. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hello: I tried the 4MOA dot module today. I found it did not wash out at all for me and was actually easy to see to my surprise. For me I think the 6MOA dot will work better since I have middle age eyes and I will need glasses soon to shoot better. I think it is a worth while test for anyone thinking of doing it and great for those really tight shots. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I tend to think for guys with decent eye sight a smaller dot is probably better. it will give confidence on those tight partials and longer distance shots. I know the guy who came 3rd in open at the last world shoot (Brodie Macintosh) uses a 4 MOA dot. my eyes suck so I like a 6 or an 8. mostly 6s. but I'm about to switch my primary back up to an 8, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
