yea i see what your asking now -- pretty much like others said just sight it in for 50 yrds and basically 25 to 200 you will hit within a 4in area -- maybe not a bullseye every time but on anything of size it will be a kill shot -- correct on no compensates for drop using red dot if shooting out past 200 yds you cant see a target that size anyway even with magnifier -- basically the dot will be the size of a normal person's complete top torso or more so it's not like you can zero in on a heart or head shot at that distancejohncanfield wrote:Roger on the magnifier, noticed they are available. I guess I'm still not making my dilemma clear. What I think I know so far is:
The red dot is like any other shooting optic
If you sight it in at what ever distance, the bullet will obey the trajectory table
There is no magic in the red dot optic that compensates for drop
The question remains how do most people use their red dot scope? Sight it in at 50 yards and call it good enough for anything between 25-100 yards since there is no reticle and you can't calculate holdovers?

Re: My first red dot scope - questions
there are several nice magnifiers out now days that will let you see out to 100 yds easy -- and with flip to side bracket you can flip it out of the way when sighting in much closer distances
