FastFire™ 8-MOA Dot

Select this reticle for personal defense weapons or close-quarter shooting situations. 

Q: What is an 8 MOA Red Dot?

A: An 8 MOA (Minute of Angle) red dot means the dot covers 8 inches at 100 yards, making it a large, highly visible aiming point. This size is perfect for close-range competitive shooting, where speed is more important than pinpoint accuracy.

Q: Why is an 8 MOA red dot ideal for competitive shooting?

A: In speed shooting competitions like Steel Challenge, an 8 MOA dot allows shooters to quickly center on steel circle targets without wasting time searching for a smaller reticle. The larger dot is easier to track, helping shooters make fast, confident follow-up shots.

Q: What’s the effective range of an 8 MOA red dot?

A: An 8 MOA dot excels at close-range distances (0-15 yards), but remains effective up to 25 yards for rapid-fire engagements. At longer distances, it may cover too much of the target, making precision shots more challenging.

Q: How does an 8 MOA dot compare to a 3 MOA dot?

A: A 3 MOA dot offers greater precision, making it better for longer-range shots and versatility across different shooting scenarios. However, an 8 MOA dot is much faster to acquire in close-range competition shooting, especially for quick transitions between steel targets. If speed is the priority, an 8 MOA dot is the best choice for competitive shooting, while a 3 MOA dot is better for mixed-range precision shooting.
