With a 2moa red dot, I find it easy using them out to 210 yards. As long as it is a good quality red dot. My Aimpoint Pro works much better for me at that distance than my Trijicon MRO. Using the Aimpoint on one of my AR's it is easy to keep all the hits well within my 8" steel plate. Take into consideration that I am not a skilled bench rest competitor by any means. And, that takes calmer winds than RR deals with I haven't tried North Country Gal's method. I'll try that next time I am at the 100 or 200 yard range. That should make it easier to hit clay pidgeons as long as I adjust the sights for that method.JEBar wrote:interesting Red Dot .... at what ranges do you feel they are effective
210 yards is the longest I've used red dots. I can shoot out to as far as 300 yards on that range. However, the lighting is extremely poor. Targets are heavily shaded and extremely difficult to see. I find it rather difficult to see the permanently mounted steel plate at 300 yards even with my variable 1.5-4 power scope.
