Here are a few of the comments (not verbatim) from the operators I have talked to in the last 9 months:
Co witnessing is zeroing your Red Dot and Adjusting your Iron Sights to that point.
Argument to that is this:
Iron Sights and Red dots DO NOT print the same on a 25M zero target so if you adjust them separately @ 300m your will not have the same POA/POI. (This is why SOPMOD has offset Targets)
Iron Sights Should naturally co witness, so the term does not apply if optics / Red Dots are not being used as a 3 part alignment. (Rear sight to Red Dot to Front Sight Post)
Argument to this:
Well, I just want to be able and see them through my optic / red dot and thats why they call use that term, and it sounds better.
