dot size

[tswisher21]

I am thinking about a micro dot for my sti dvc open. So what size dot do you like a big one or small one? I lean towards a larger one but I am open to a small dot. So what say you? Thanks Tim

I run small dots 4moa or 2moa.  I don’t like having the dot cover up half the target or the steel plate.  Currently running a Romeo 3

The RTS2 is a 6 moa dot. It's not to small, but not so large it covers small targets. I find the smaller dots a little harder to find in bright light so it's a good compromise for me.

I like 2 MOA

3.25 MOA RMR on my Carry Optics gun, 3 MOA Romeo 3 on my Open gun.

2.5 DPP for me

8 moa in uspsa. I tried the dpp 2.5 washed out on steel in the sun

[HotrodMachinegun]

I use an 8 moa jpoint. I don't care for anything smaller than 6 on my open guns.

8 MOA Burris FastFire III

RTS2: 8moa

DPP: 7.5moa

6moa is what I use. The dot size Is personal preference of what you see based on where you are shooting from, what you like as a sight picture.

10 and 12

Well said. Personal preference. 8 MOA Slide Ride for me.

8moa ff3 on my CO gun

Recently bumped everything up to 8 because just having too much trouble in strong sunlight.

I hate to bring this up, but does it have anything to do with a person's eyesight and age? It seems to me, from my experience watching and talking with my friends, the older guys like a larger dot and the younger guys like a smaller dot. Not sure that is scientific, but it is worth thinking about. 

 

When I started wearing contact lens, changed my preference to a smaller dot. 

[Steve RA]

Sure age has a bearing on it, also probably depends to some extent on the power of any vision aids someone wears.

I agree. I find that my point of impact shifts depending on whether I wear glasses or contacts.

I never thought about this until now. I run an 8 moa on my USPSA open gun and a 3 moa on my Steel Challenge Rimfire open gun. Both work well for there respective application. Proves to me that one size does not fit all.

RTS2 8 MOA

[Davidp1911]

For me 6moa works great for me

[stick]

6moa Venom on my CO pistol.  For me, anything smaller is hard to see in the Florida sun.

I am 68yo, and when shooting I use readers with +1.25 power - gives me perfect focus both near and far.  I settled on 8MOA years ago, and so far have not seen any reason to change it.

 

RTS2, and I simply set it to maximum on sunny days.

I’m running leupold dpp with 2.5 Moa dots. For uspsa it’s fine but I prefer a 4-6 moa dot.  Steel challange I go with 8 moa dots
