Hello all, I'm really confused about something and I'm hoping someone can explain I'm a way I can understand.
I'm looking to get a red Dot for my new ar. I've never used one before. I was looking at the EOtech website and they have a pic of targeting with it. It shows the center Dot is zeroed for 50 yards. But to shoot 7 yards you use the bottom mark. This is where I'm confused. Wouldn't that raise the barrel and shoot higher? I'll try and post a pic of the circle from the website.
In my mind this is how it works. If I'm hunting with a regular scope I have it zeroed at 200 yards. If the deer is 300 I use a bottom mark raising the barrel and shooting further. If the deer is 100 I use a upper mark lowering the barrel and shooting closer. Is that not how it works for red dots?
I'm trying to wrap my head around how using a lower mark for closer works. I think I'm just missing something.
Thanks in advance for any help or clarification you can offer.
