    I have the TruGlo model on my bow, I don't know if other companies have an equivalent.

    Something did come of this I think. I do plan on running some harder tests using more un conventional positions. I would like to see what the difference is. I know one area where my scope did kill me in a match was shooting left handed. Before the 2009 Larue match I did very little left handed shooting with my long guns. (bad training choice on my part) I sucked bad on those stages in the match. It was a major ego killer. After that I started practicing left handed shooting every time I went to the range. Its still a lot harder to find the correct eye relief on my weak side.
    Again sorry.

    Wow John and Pat, you two geezers really went at it.

    Well my conclusion is that I'll need both an RDS and a variable scope, one on one carbine, and the other, on another

    If there's something coming around to replace the ACOG, I hope we can start getting them as surplus soon thereafter.

    I'm debating between a TR24G and TA33 GH or hold out until the next generation of Trijicon variables which hasn't even been announced yet. Id like to hear some opinions regarding positives and negatives to both. Do you think that the ACOG will be around for much longer given the advance in variable power optics?
    Mr. Goodtimes posted this video on Youtube. Check it out. It's awesome!

    in the Acog vs. RDS, I would want an Acog if shooting outdoors. I would want a RDS is in a shoothouse.

    the 1-4 variable can do everything an Acog can at distance and has the advantage of emulating a RDS at short range. I would still want a RDS in a shoothouse...
