So I received my Eotech XPS 2-0 from Primary Arms last week and took it yesterday to shoot at the range. I immediately noticed the fuzzy reticle problem, but did research and found people that people were saying that pixelated image was normal but fuzziness was not. I read the number of reasons, but none seemed to fit for me.
I have a VERY VERY slight eye problem (so small no contact lenses are made for such a slight offset), so I was worried this was causing the fuzziness. But then I turned on my eotech reticle and popped up both BUIS and when I looked through the peep hole the reticle was much sharper and the center dot had no star burst effect, but a single sharp dot. Why does using the rear sight make everything sharper; not only the outer circle, but even the dot whose entire star burst effect was well withing the rear peep-hole? I would love to use the sight without the buis but I want the clarity the rear sight seems to provide Teach me, Lol |

when looking at the reticle the reticle will look fuzzy. Look through it and at the target and reticle clears up. It is worse for some than otehrs. Looking through the aperture has the same effect as squinting. Before I had laser surgery I could look through a pinhole to be able to see better as it helped focus the light on the retina. Same thing for the peep.

| I had the same problem when I first received my XPS 2-2 but it was because I was using it incorrectly. When using an EoTech, do not concentrate on the reticle. You need to concentrate on the target itself. Also, make sure the brightness is not turned up too much. When you get a chance, try looking at a target at least 25 feet away without the reticle turned on. Practice looking through the glass but totally focusing on the target. Turn on the EoTech, turn down the brightness until you can barely see it, then continue to concentrate on the target and the it should appear clearer. Continue to turn up the brightness until you its comfortable to look at before becoming blurry. |
