Title: BSA Red Dot question
Post by: Tater on December 12, 2012, 09:14:29 PM
Hi guys,

I didn't want to hijack the other red dot thread, but I had a different type of question. I can only shoot indoors and even with the red dot at the lowest setting, the dot is still too bright and there is glare around the dot. If I point it out a window on a sunny day the dot looks like a perfectly round tiny dot.
The glare around it indoors makes shooting from anything past 25' very difficult and under 25' it could be much better. I've tried turning numerous lights on and even opening up the blinds when shooting during the day and it still isn't right.
Is there a way to dim the dot somehow or has anyone put some kind of filter over there's?

Use it more. When the battery is low it might be perfect.
