A very small shift by the user's eye in any direction results in an error in the point of aim. Your eye MUST be at exactly the same place each time behind the scope for there to be any accuracy at all. I had this mounted on a lever-action rifle and depending on who shot the firearm, and the position of the shooter, the dot was up to a foot or more off at 100 yards... completely inaccurate and unusable for me.

I put this on my Barnet X Bow Pistol and it's perfect dead on after one shot but, i only shoot in my back yard 30' so a small Dot works fine here. The price is what i can't get over, this is very well made and comes with scope caps, and the battery! I think this will work out to fifty yards, It's a good scope, i have shot my xbow over 200 time's and it's still shooting on center. OVERALL A GOOD SCOPE 4 the $

My buddy and I bought one each and installed them on our Kel-tec .223's. Maybe we are just lucky, but we both sero fast and easy with a laser bore sighting tool, then shot like pros. These sights are insanely accurate. The dot is a "little" bit faint in bright sun, but when considering that the dot is basically dead center in the sight view, we didnt have too many problems. We had our doubts about a $20 red dot, but ... we could hit gator-ade bottle caps ate 75 yards. And 4" gongs at 100 yds all day long! Once zeroed, it styaed seroed, even after rapid firing for 60 rds. Basically, the bullet goes where the dot is... period. I know, I can hardly believe it either, but when they go on sale again, I will buy two more.

The red dot is not bright enough for outdoor hunting or using at an outdoor range. The dot if you can see it is also to small. Good for indoor use only. It is now colecting dust on a shelf. Purchased a Millet, works great.
