I don't think so. The circle on the EOTech is sixty minutes I believe.

The circle has a number of uses but probably the most common concerns speed in bringing the eye to the dot and centering a target. The eye will get to the dot and center the target faster with that circle as the circle gives the brain a reference from which to judge a number of physical things. Target movement and speed is a major one. Even if the shooter does not know how big the circle is, it remains a fixed reference in his mind.
