Pointing ain't gonna cut it for me (perhaps only at 2-3 yards distance). I need a precision instrument that reliably hits and sends no fliers outside the zone of COM at 30 feet with buckshot (mine groups 5-6 inches at that distance) and can reliably place a slug between the eyes of BG, if need be, at that same distance. I'm using 00 buckshot, and because I live in an apt. complex and occasionally have visitors staying over -- missing, which would lead to penetrating thin walls, is a huge issue. Not to downplay the importance of training/practice -- which is THE most important factor in accurate shooting -- I'll take any technological advantage I can to make my aiming just a little more precise and fast...
