Further, the EOTech sight is very high-quality, and I have found that the reticle does not obscure the target or in any way interfere with precision shooting. The one MOA center dot is ideal for precision shooting while the 65 MOA circle aids in fast target acquisition.
Why is the EOTech so popular?
This is the smallest center dot available and makes precise shooting easy. Well, as easy as precise shooting can be with an unmagnified sight with a projected reticle. There is no doubt that the circle-dot reticle is blazing fast to acquire.
What’s wrong with EOTech?
