Fastfire III Question
March 31, 2017, 12:33:35 AM
For any of you that happen to use a Fastfire sight, are you using the 3 MOA dot, or the 8 MOA? Although it will probably be after this season before I get around to doing so, I am seriously considering a Fastfire. I have two old red dots on two different shotguns. One is, I think, a 1 MOA, and the other, I think, is a 3 MOA. I much prefer the larger dot, but wonder if the 8 MOA would be too much of a good thing for turkey hunting? Thanks.

I myself, along with the majority of the people I know, run the 3 MOA.

I run the 8. To me the smaller 3 would be good for applications such as rifle accuracy but for scattergun purposes where I'm not going for pinpoint accuracy just center of pattern. Put the dot on turkey's next and squeeze the trigger.

I just picked up a vortex venom 3 moa and I think it'll be perfect. They also have a viper which is 6 moa might be worth checking out.

3MOA for sure with a turkey sized target,,,,PLUS in early light conditions the 8 will tend to glare more...

my reddots are 3moa and 4 large enough to easily see and find but small enough to be precise.

I prefer the 8moa. The size of the dot can also be used as a semi range finder in relation to the size of a Gobblers head at 40 yds.

I just got the 3moa last week. Glad I did.. I would think the 8moa would be way too large for me.

Mine is the 3MOA. I haven't tried one with the 8MOA, but I probably wouldn't notice, anyway.
