Do any of you guys or gals use a red dot sight for coons? If you do what kind and what do you think of them. Thanks

I have a red dot scope on my T.C Contender.It is put away right now so I will have to go find what power and brand.It is really accurate.Quite honestly I just can't seem to trust how it can be so accurrate when the dot is not centered in the scope.Guess it works like a peep sight.But I can't come to trust them either.......

I like mine. It is very accurate in the distance you have it sighted for. Mine is set to about 60 feet. If a coon is much higher or lower in the tree, I have to make some minor adjustments by aiming a little high or a little lower.

That is what mine is sighted on my T.C.One night one of first nights I was carrying it and that ole coon was way higher.Just barely had a spot to aim at.I am thinking dag-gone it I wish I had the rifle.I am no pistolaro .I got a good steady aim and the dot actually was covering the spot on the coon the target spot was so small.Crack... and I could not believe it but I had hit him.

The cheap ones without turrets for pellet rifles work ok just not to sturdy, or magnification.
