That thing is REALLY nice and don’t know that’ll I’ll go back. I turn the red dot down really low so that it is just visible. I found it much easier to line up on the head because you can see the whole bird easier.

I’m so used to having my cheek and head down tight against the stock looking straight down barrel lining up a front and rear bead for 30 years, it feels a little awkward lifting up a little.

I hunted multiple times last year where that would have been an issue. Fiber optic bead for me. Last edited by dirkdaddy; 02/20/21 02:56 PM.
