height of the gun is different<br />
and the dot can be hard to<br />
locate. There are two<br />
techniques to help pick up the<br />
dot. The first is to bring the gun<br />
up into the line of sight as soon<br />
as possible and then push the<br />
gun out, trying to get the dot on<br />
the way. The best way I've<br />
found is to make a normal draw;<br />
keep your focus 100% down<br />
range on the target and let the<br />
top of the scope "break'' into<br />
your plane of vision. It helps to<br />
keep the muzzle up slightly and<br />
then rock the gun down when it<br />
is almost fully extended. The<br />
dot will fall into view.<br />
A large number of people<br />
who shoot iron sights close one<br />
eye. When shooting with optics<br />
both eyes should be kept open<br />
if possible. Focus can be refined<br />
faster and a target acquisition<br />
is quicker with full peripheral<br />
vision. The easy way to break<br />
the "one eye'' habit is to put the<br />
polarizing filter on and black it<br />
out so you can hardly see<br />
through it. For a right eye<br />
dominant shooter this will force<br />
the left eye to open and focus on<br />
the target. By the way, bring<br />
the filter to every match. Extremely<br />
bright sunlight can<br />
cause the dot to wash out or<br />
fade even on its highest setting.<br />
I notices this on a bright sunny<br />
day with freshly painted white<br />
plates.<br />
Visual patience is the most<br />
difficult to learn when shooting<br />
with a scope. There is a different<br />
feel when shooting optics.<br />
A good stages with iron sights -<br />
one that gives you the feeling<br />
that you're shooting on the edge<br />
- will feel like you're shooting in<br />
slow motion with the dot. Just<br />
accept the different feeling and<br />
your time will be good. The dot<br />
makes everything easier, B-zone<br />
shots are elementary if you wait<br />
for the shot. The dot shows<br />
exactly where the bullet went,<br />
so a bad shot can be made up<br />
faster then when trying to call<br />
the shots with iron sights. If<br />
suddenly you're shooting out of<br />
control with the dot, cut your<br />
pace back to about 85% and<br />
watch what happens.<br />
The scope has given rae<br />
confidence in my shooting, which<br />
is the most important quality a<br />
shooter can have. Now I know<br />
that when I walk up to a stage<br />
I can make all of the shots if I<br />
just wait for a good dot. All I<br />
have to do is look at the target<br />
(like I've always wanted to) and<br />
pull the trigger. My scores on<br />
the standards have improved by<br />
about 20%, groups are easy to<br />
shoot, and I'm twice as consistent<br />
as before. Accuracy, speed<br />
and consistency are the most<br />
important elements needed to<br />
win in USPSA.<br />
