View Full Version : Adjustment decals for EoTech sights

The adjustment screws on the EoTech are pretty hard to read under many conditions even for young eyes. Black on black on black and recessed into a black hole. Most of us ain't carrying the owner's manual and I've seen some high-end, daily users of the EoTech forget which screw is which, which way to turn it, and what the value of each click is at a given range.

These stickers pretty much solve all that. Graphics are in a desert tan color. They are $10 for one, add $8 for additional ones. You can Paypal me the funds or send a check or $10-spot to:

For the time being at least, I am not sending instructions with these-- none really needed, but I have found a little trick that helps.

Pull the decal off the backer and place it back on with the bottom 1/2 or 1/3 of the circles hanging off. This way you can use the backer as a "handle" to get the alignment right before "committing" on sticking it down. Keeps you from getting your fingers on the sticky part and maybe compromising the adhesive, it also keeps the decal stiffer during application.

Probably the best thing for the initial peel-ff is a pair of tweezers, again to keep your fingers off the sticky stuff.

Ned,

Excellent idea, hope these do very well for you! If I owned a EO-Tech, I would have to have a set!

Done, Ryan.

Part of the "directions" should also be, clean the surface well first, make sure it's not all oily and dirty. Finish the cleanup with alcohol.

Guys, you can just use my Email for PayPal-ing me:

Gladja like it Steve. Would not want to be in a position where I sent you something you did not like!

I'm going to have about a 3-to-5-day "no-decal" period here. First batch is nearly gone, second, larger batch due by end of week. Thanks guys.

Almost here, Ballistickers. These are 1" wide by 1 1/4" high stickers similar to the EoStickers, but with ballistic dope on them for the load of your choice. These will be available for 5.56mm, 55 grain at 3000 FPS, as well as 62 grain and 77 grain loads at velocities typical for 16' barrels. The 77 grain Ballistickers will be available in two velocities, one that reflects the Mk 262 ammo and one that is for the commercial, SAAMI-spec stuff.

These will fit on the other side of your EoTech (assuming of course that you have the EoSticker on one side :D ), or on the side of the magwell of your AR, or on the stock. They will include the deviation from line-of-sight at distances out to 500 yards, plus windage in a 10MPH, full-value wind.

Ned, I'm sorry I'm a dumb ass but is one div = from dot to dot or each click on the dial?


Thanks for the info anyone.



FNGs:rolleyes:

Ned Christiansen

Yes.:D







The EoTechs have ten clicks per turn and the stickers have ten dots that line up with them.

Not a bad question at all.

I was saying yes to "from dot to dot or each click on the dial?" That was an attempt at being funny but actually the answer is yes to both. Ten clicks on the dial, and the stickers have ten dots.

I was not saying yes to "Ned, I'm sorry I'm a dumb ass", if that's what you were asking;)

Thanks Ned,

I found the answer in the industry forum:

What is an MOA?

MOA stands for "minutes of angle" and 1 MOA is near 1"at 100 yards. The center dot in the standard reticle is 1 MOA across, and the ring is 65 MOA's across. Each of the adjustment shafts (both windage and elevation) on your HWS move in ½ MOA increments. This means every tactile click or single adjustment of the shaft will move your point of aim ½" at 100 yds; ¼" at 50yds; 1/8" at 25 yds.

Payment sent for one sticker. Please ship to my paypal confirmed address.
Thanks.

Received the decal on 10/4. That was fast. Feedback left. Thanks Ned!!!

Haven't heard that AB bought them out. If they did, I hope they don't change anything.

Done deal, thanks.

Thought I heard that Anheiser-Busch bought RR but have yet to see them on the bottle.

Have plenty of EoStickers BTW.

Have Ballistickers in 55@3000 at the moment, this week I'll have them in

62@2800
62@2950
62@3100

77@2600
77@2675
77@2750

Ballistickers are black with text in a desert tan. they are 1 X 1 1/4 so they fit nicely in the left side of an EoTech, left side of an upper receiver (with text vertical for easy reading), right side of a magazine well, or back on a telescoping or solid stock.

Ballistics are calculated using a 2.5" sight height and 100 yard zero. The velocites should pretty much cover most scenarios in terms of load choice (say, commercial 77's or NATO-spec) and barrel lengths. No, every possible combo is not going to be available, but anything between these velocites is not going to be very far off. For example, the dif at 300 yards between the 62@2950 and the 62@3100 is just over 1 1/2" in drop. The 77's with their greater ballisitc coefficient, the dif at 500 yards betwen the 2750 and 2675 velocities is only 4".

Ballistickers also include wind drift in inches with a full-value (90 degree) wind at 10 MPH.

Point of impact is given at 25, 50, 100, and every 50 yards beyond that to 500 yards.

Pricing is the same as for EoStickers, $10 for one and $8 for each additional one in the same order, mix n' matching Ballistickers and EoStickers no prob.

Disclaimers: These are stickers, only stickers. They're good stickers, but they are not rated to hold up to being soaked in oil or being used as a skid pad for the carbine. Applied to a clean, dry surface and given a minimum of care they will last a long time. Other disclaimer: if you blow the shot that would have saved the planet or even just the day, remember that the Ballisticker did not pull the trigger.

Stickers made to your exact ballistic specs will be available in minimum orders of 100, at $6 each.

EoStickers are now available through LaRue, and by about 4/25, Brownell's will have them. Not sure how long it'll be before they come out in a Brownell's "new products" catalog supplement but as soon as I find out what their part number is I'll post it here.

I'm very happy to have this product carried by these two outfits. They are two of the most straight-dealing outfits I've ever dealt with in the gun industry or any other industry I've been involved in.

They are still available directly through me at the same price as before ($10 for one, $8 for additional in the same order) but for a lot of people it will be more convenient to order from one or the other of these guys since they both take plastic directly (I'm working on it but for now it's still PayPal or send a check), and a lot of you will be ordering other things anyway from LaRue or Brownell's.

Another thing I like about both companies is how they are supporting the troops in various ways and not always in ways that everybody knows about.

Ned! Thanks for the part#, I couldnt find them on Brownell's site for the life of me without the #. I was just able to barter a sweet deal on an Eotech 512/LaRue mount combo, and these are exactly what it needs.

Stay safe brotha!
