How many Open shooters adjust the dot intensity before shooting a stage?
Please note your class as A reference of what class does or does not.
I am M class and adjust mine to suit the type of targets in a stage.
Also what size dot do you run?
I run 8 moa for now.

[CJDOUBLETAP]

B class.

6 MOA.

I adjust mine like you do, depending on the targets.

For harder-farther-smaller stuff I like to turn it down so that my dot is a clear circle. On the close-easy stuff I turn the dot up all the way so I can pick it up fast.

[JThompson]

Depends on indoor or outdoor. I prefer a 4 in and a 6 out.

M

[McGunner]

B class

8moa

Depending on the type of day; If its bright and sunny and/or the suns at my back, full on. Any other time I turn it full on, than turn it down a smidge so its not a glaring bright dot...

I'm in "B" class using an 8 MOA dot.

Indoors I like to turn down the dot to where I can just see through it to the targets. Helps if one or two targets are a little bit in the shadows.

Outdoors I turn it up to the point where I can pick it up quickly but is not so bright it appears harsh and distracts me from looking at the targets. If its a real bright Texas day, its on full blast. Add a few clouds and its turned down a bit. Adjusted for each stage as needed.

B-class......4 minute

I adjust it for light conditions and sometimes for battery condition. A new battery generally does not need to be turned
up all the way outdoors, unless the conditions are very bright sun.

The last couple of matches my dot would turn off while shooting a stage.
I sent it in to C-more for a rebuild.
When it gets back I will be back.
By the way no more sand bagger, I made M

I had this in the Open forum. Maybe it will get more input here.

Cool...

does that mean i have new competition ...pls be gentle

[short_round]

Adjust everytime, Master, 8 MOA.

[Singlestack]

I merged the two topics. There is no need for two threads.

[Gregory_k]

Adjust everytime, as I turn it off on ulsc.

C, but they may want that back.

[boz1911]

I adjust every time, usually on bright sunny days I start at full brightness and back down if needed. Indoors or overcast I adjust up until I get a starburst then back down one click. 8 moa dot, A open.

[calishootr]

A class

8 minute dot

adjust for conditions, I dont normally like running it full on, the 'blazing halo' is a bit distracting, so i tone it down some...

[CocoBolo]

Outdoor daylight full on 8 Min Dot.

C class Rookie.

I had a 6 on one of my guns it was just too hard to see.

an 8 is probably too big for anything over 25 yards but not many 50 yard shots these days.

[Neomet]

B class.

8moa

There is a setting besides off and full on??


Good thread. I'll have to play with this some. I wonder if I crank it back some if I will stop dot fixating so much.

[rvb]

Newly-minted Master.

dot size = whatever came in it from STI?
outdoors = crank it.*
indoors = adjust as needed.

*unless shooting groups or zeroing the scope.

[TWHaz]
