heh heh
That's why I included the simulation link. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a moving picture should helps further. I have no financial gain from this, but I'd recommend giving the full version CD a shot. It really helps build that initial confidence (mental part). If you got second thoughts or need confirmation, shoot me a PM and I'll forward Rick and Major Econ's take on the simulation. Then you can decide for yourselves.

You're welcome. There are selfless professionals here and at the range giving their time, effort, and often, equipments, to forge my skills...gratis!. So it's only natural for me to give back/pass the buck at every opportunity. A match director at the range serves as a role model. He does his part in preserving the 2nd amendment by introducing marksmanship as a safe, interesting, and challenging activity to folks of all age, size, gender, etc.

well IMHOO....from a HP mindset, I'd say iron
. I was taught that "optics don't make a poor marksman better, but worse." Optics magnify the target, as well as your visible wobble zone (movements). Unless the eye is already trained to accept a decent sight picture while maintaining perfect alignment via a good hold, all that movements can introduce errors and bad habit. Having said that....go with mildot/TMR. You can always use it as plain crosshair (duplex) and ignore the dots. Then, when you decide you want to play with holdovers, ranging, etc., it's there for you to use.
ok...withdrawing to my lane...
