aimpoint t1 dot flare

[mysak]

Ive had a aimpoint T1 sitting around for a while and i mounted it and noticed the dot wasnt crisp and thought maybe my eyes went to crap so picked up my holosun 508t and it looks perfect. could it be me or should i contact aimppoint?

take your camera phone and aim it at your dot as you look at it. If it looks normal then it's your eyes. each red dot is different - some might look better than others to you.

Thanks! it does look a little bit better through the camera. . . shiddy tiddy. I was about to grab a T2 good thing i didnt. what are my options now?

If you have BUIS flip up the rear and look at the dot through it. If clean through the sight it is you for sure.

Dude I've had astigmatism since I was a kid, so I have no idea what those dots are even supposed to look like to a normal person. Glasses help a lot though. 100% not an issue, besides it triggers some people's OCD. In reality though you just end up using one of the little spiky parts to make precise shots.

Yup, this should be out standard answer anytime someone asks about the actual dot or any misconfigurations when viewed.

Good trick and one way to confirm.

For a more precise shot use the small peep on the rear BUIS. For quicker, close-in shooting keep it folded down and go to town. Gotta figure for close-in work that dot birthing another won't matter. Further out it could be an issue as you try and decide which one to focus on!
