What I'm looking to verify is that you are using the red dot properly.
Look through a red dot sight.
Are you focusing on the target?
Are you using both eyes? IE: both eyes open.

That never occurred to me Rich, and of course, I could not recall. Probably I was squinting at the dot with one eye closed, as much as I try to shoot with both of them open. So I got out my rifle with the Aimpoint on it, and tried it both ways. Both eyes open is better. So maybe I will reconsider a red dot. I went to Cabela's and got some scope rings for an old Leupold I have and put it on one of the .22s. It remains to be seen how it will shoot, but I can tell you this - it is heavy! It is a 2x scope off a .44 mag too, so it really amplifies any wiggle. But hey, rings are cheaper than a decent red dot.
