Re: Optics for my Little girls AR
An EOTech is ideal for folks who need to quickly know where the barrel is pointed, perhaps, not knowing how to do it with the AR's superior iron sights. Of course, to properly use irons, your daughter will likely need some training in the fundementals of marksmanship. With an understanding of the AR's BDC sight, it is more useful than a dot sight, even one that's parallax free, as both BSZ and BDC functions are possible from an initial 300 meter zero. And, when aiming at the sort of targets the AR is designed to hit, good hits are probable out to about 600 meters. Plus, when consistent resolution can be established between the front sight and target, accuracy can be as good as it gets. The only requirement to use irons effectively is to be able to focus on the front sight. Bottom-line, consider your project in terms of helping your daughter get a good start to becoming an exceptional shooter. The EOTech is what you want after irons are understood, not before.
