I know most of you guys on here are FF fans, but has anyone heard of this sight? I was looking to buy a FF but the funds just didn't work out for me. I found this one at a local sporting goods store and went ahead and picked it up. Seems to be ok. Battery has easy access on top and easy access to windage and elevation adjustments. I've never used one of these types of sights so I'm new at it. It has a 3 MOA dot, crosshair, 10 MOA dot Crosshair, and 65 MOA circle with 3 MOA dot adjustable brightness, green or red reticle. Now, I have yet to learn what MOA means but... Maybe you guys can tell me and maybe some of you know about this sight. I may have wasted my money because I didn't ready any reviews first but seasons closing in quick and I need to do some shooting... Here's some pics. anybody know anything about these sights?

Never heard of the brand.  I use basically the same sight sold by TruGlo.  Only difference is I feel I can trust TruGlo to stand behind the product.  Fact is all these similar framed sights are made in China by the same company and many companies put their name on them.  A given model may hold up to recoil and another may not.  Difference is can you contact the company and they stand behind their product.

MOA stands for minute of angle.  It is the angle of a cone that will result in a one inch radius at 100 yards.  So a 1/4 minute of angle scope adjustment will move the point of impact 1/4 inch per click at 100 yards.  A 3 minute of angle dot covers a 3 inch area at 100 yards.  That can then be mathematically extrapolated to different distances.  A 3 moa dot will cover 1.5 inches at 50 yards, 3 inches at 100 yards, and 6 inches at 200 yards.

Ok, so I went back and bought the ff III. I couldn't resist when I saw how small it was!
