Effect on POI when occluding red dot sights

[markm]

Just did a rough non-firing experiment from the house with an aiming point of a gable end 50 yards across the street. Took aim with the cap closed and my support hand ready to flip it open. Every time I flipped the cap open the dot was actually like 16 inches right of where I wanted it.

I did same experiment. POI is expected 20moa to the right and 20moa low. Workable in short distance. Will help to place the reticle high left.

I probably won't use the technique. Cranking my lpvo down to 1x-2x will do better.

Coincidentally I've been messing with this and getting similar results to what I'm seeing here.

Big relief. I thought my eyes were too far apart.

You guys are dot focused. If you are target focused youll be on target, thats why you have to do it quick and not stare through the scope.

If you stare at the target, pull the gun up and shoot quick, youll be much closer

The thing that I thought helped a decent amount was looking through the rear fixed iron app. Seemed to reduce the effect, but that method was ridiculously slow.

You have to be target focused.
