Im not saying the PAQ/PEQ are perfect but show me a better way to shoot quickly and accurately at night whilst keeping your NOD's on your face where they belong.

Tracers

that doesnt help on the first shot though, just subsequent ones.

<cough, cough get good with the irons, cough cough>

*if* I were going to forgo irons, which I don't/wouldn't - personally, an aimpoint 2 mil, prefer teh new one that takes a AA.

For my wifes AR, she got the EO tech - she liked the 65moa ring with the 1 moa dot.

If the EO T had the aimpoints battery life, that would probably be my choice as well.

They are both good choices, but IMHO, the superior choice is actually irons, and spend the $$ on ammo/training.

That said, I understand the need for toys.

I MUST agree that you need to get good with Irons, but a red dot is faster then irons.

Quite simple, lining up 3 things (Front, rear, and target)
is slower than 2 things: (Dot and target)

I've beaten people who were better than me simply due to the fact that I had a red dot and they had irons...

I do NOT susgest you forgo irons. IMHO you MUST have BUIS (Back up iron Sites) for when/if the red dot fails.

Depends on the shooters skill level... I've seen guys that can shoot irons as well as dots, but they have put in their time. These are the typs of guys that can teach aerial gunnery and hit 19/20 4x4" targets with an AR while in a moving helicopter... dead serious.

If you take it all the way, I don't think there is much/any advantage to the dots - at least not enough to offset the possibility that they might go down.

And they will be THAT much quicker lining up only 2 things..

Optometry says so, not me dude.

As for them going down... Cowitnessing dude.

And all the OTHER times it saves you time...
For 98% of users (According to you)

Fair trade.

(Especially since you can use the 'housing' of the red dot like Suarez teaches the 'Poor man's Eo Tech')

It ain't that hard dude...
