General Forum / Re: Sighting In Red Dot

Last post by g8rvet - Today at 12:01:04 PM

I did some reading about this and there are some exceptions. What everyone has said is mostly true. There is no such thing as truly parallax free, there is just very little parallax.  Curved lens red dots are worse for parallax.  The real advertisement should be "very minor parallax".  The closer or further you are from 50-100 yards, the more the parallax, even in "parallax free" red dots is accentuated. Luckily, we are shooting shotguns and this effect is minor. 

this video helps if you understand that really neither of the red dots in the video exist - truly parallax free and full parallax.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in8qj4Xvb3Q

Bouncing off the above a little bit, having a well thought out and organized "kitchen" system was a game changer for me. I used to eat almost completely from fast food and gas stations because I hated the prep and cleaning up. Now that I can go from closed truck bed to pot heating up in less than 5 minutes and then can clean up just as quick, I find myself having a lot more motivation to cook a meal. Hot dogs, steaks, pork chops, fresh fish, corn on the cob, green beans, asparagus, broccoli are a handful of staples I go back to as there is little prep and they taste great. Usually get to slide some fried turkey in there as well or will vacuum seal and bring along some turkey noodle soup and cornbread.

Been shooting them for years and always sight in with a sled. If the dot is on the target it doesn't matter where your cheek, face, or eye is

I utilized a lead sled for initial sight at 12-13 yards with dove loads.  Dial it in dead on then back up to 40 and shoot your turkey load to check.  Adjust as needed and Go Hunt!  As Nash said, once the red dot is sighted in where the dot is, is where the shot will go.  Cheek, face, eye or cant of the gun doesn't affect the target dot.

I normally hunt too hard to worry about cooking and cleaning up the aftermath. My sleep is more important to me. Sandwiches, protein bars, canned soup (i.e. Campbell's chunky), canned chili, noodle cups, apples. Quick, easy, minimal clean up. I also probably stop for hot gas station food more than most others in this thread.
