Matt,
Are you using a lense with just a circle or are you actually using a pin in your scope. I'm assuming you're just using a ring, but if not, what color fiber? Because I ABSOLUTELY can not see a pin against a Vegas face.
I prefer a black ring, it allows me to stare a hole in the x-ring and prevents me from focusing on the float of my sight picture. Subconsiously your eyes willcenter everything up if you just stare at the X through the middle of the ring,kind of how you don't look at the road directly in front of your car..........you look 100+ yards down the road at where your going and subconsiously you keep it between the yellow lines. When I'm shooting my best I don't even notice how much I'm floating to be honest.
Most guys shooting pins successfully at the top level are shooting a VERY large diameter pin.........039 and better. Just cover up most of the yellow with it and let it rip. If I had to use a pin, I'd be using red. If your gonna play with the big boys though in open class, you might as well shoot a lens setup. I'd start with a lower power though.......4x with a black ring should be plenty and you shouldn't have to spend $$ on clarifiers and such either.
Man, It's really looking like if I want to compete I need to go with a slidebar setup. I'm just not wanting to do it though, lol
. Any great deals out there I should consider? Doesn't Sword or someone have an AWESOME slidebar/scope deal?
