Why 2 MOA? Why Smaller Dots Make a Big Difference.

While the large window on the Defender-XL^™ Micro Red Dot appeals to most competitive shooters—allowing them greater peripheral vision and faster target transitions—many shooters prefer a smaller dot.
Smaller dots cover less of your target, allowing for more precision. This is especially true at longer ranges, where larger dots obscure more of your target. If you shoot competitions that include longer ranges, a smaller dot can make a big difference.
