Default Anyone using a Red dot scope?

Hey fellas,
I am fed up with peeps, string loops, serving wear, etc.
I want to try a red dot scope with a adjustable yardage bracket, maybe a MZE, and a gator jaw release. (no more string loops). Anyone out there with some pros/cons to this setup, or advice, tips, tricks about something like this? If you have a red dot on your bow, tell me what you like/dislike.

Thanks

Default RE: Anyone using a Red dot scope?

I put one on last year.
I shoot right handed, BUT:
My righteye cannot focus on anything closer than about 24", I have a fake lens in that eye.
I had a peep and pin sight, but the pins would dissapear when I went to draw on a deer, and I would end up looking at the pin with My left eye and miss the dear by about 5 feet.

For some odd reason, the "dot" in red dot scopes is crisp with My right eye, so I went to that set up. I love it. I have a single dot scope set for 20 yards (I allways had 1 pin too)

The mount is kinda cheap, when I get My new bow, I will have one milled out of light weight billit.
