I took my Eotech to the range for the first time today and got it "sighted in" I use that term loosely because if I put the gun down and picked it back up I'd have to readjust the sight. The Eotech was on firmly. It seems to me like the accuracy of an Eotech really depends on your ability to put the gun and your head in exactly the same position every time you aim. Is this right? |
At what distance? The Aimpoint and Eotech are both "parallax free" at anything more than 10 or 15 yards. |
well I was shooting at 25 yards. i guess i got this theory from aiming much closer though, pointing the gun around inside. you can move your head and watch the dot move 12" or more. i guess I will look further away and see if it stays on target. |

Sight the EOTech in at 50 yards, you will be centered at 50 and about 220 yards. I think the manual even suggests it. Don't worry about putting the dot on top of the front sight. Just put the dot on the target. If you move your head up, the dot will move with your head and stay on the target. Same thing going left to right. As long as you get a group that is where you want it, you should be able to lift your head up and also get the same groups. If your BUIS is sighted in too (at least at the same 50 yards), the rear sight, red dot, and front sight post should all be lined up when you look through your sights. Even on a riser, when you look throught the sights, the dot should move to the lower third of the window since it appears to move with your head. |

I just went outside and you guys are absolutely right. Does this mean the sight will be zeroed for anyone who shoots it? or just me? I do plan on zero'ing it at 50, I just had a short today today. It was my first time with my Eotech and new upper and only had 100 rounds on me. |
