That’s what that knob is there for, so use it. A common complaint I hear about red dot optics goes like this: “On sunny days in Arizona, I have to turn the brightness almost all the way up in order to see the reticle.” Well, Duh. This will give a clearer sight picture and obscure the target less. Both eyes remain open and the focus never moves from the target.Īlways keep the reticle’s brightness adjusted as low as possible for lighting conditions. When the red dot reaches the point of aim, switch to fire and engage the target. As the sight comes up in front of the eyes, a red dot will appear in front of the eyes. Keeping both eyes open, bring the weapon up to the firing position. With the weapon on safe at the ready, identify and focus on a target. The secret to the reflex optic is this: if you can see a red dot, and the red dot is on your target, the bullet will hit the target. Co-witness has nothing to do with proper sight picture. Reflex sights work well because aiming is simple.įorget lollipops and 100 meters. Now I find that most civilians who ask about purchasing a reflex sight are also asking about their proper use. WHAT?! Other NCOs and I spent a lot of time trying to teach soldiers the proper use of Aimpoints and EOTechs and trying to combat improper training. Put the dot on the front sight post, put the front sight post on the target, and squeeze the trigger. That’s why it isn’t accurate over 100 meters.” I began to overhear some really weird stuff as NCOs struggled to help their troops. Problem was, many NCOs had never been trained. Non-commissioned officers had to quickly train their soldiers on their proper use. Suddenly, many soldiers found themselves with an unfamiliar piece of equipment sitting on top of their rifles and carbines. After all, the joes might break them! And anyway, the Sergeant Major never shot with optics when he was a young soldier, so neither will his soldiers. Aimpoints sat on shelves in arms rooms while soldiers trained with iron sights. When the Army adopted reflex or red dot optics, many units were slow to use them.
