FWIW, the highest record for bullseye is still held by iron sights, despite advancement in and variety of red dot options.

IMHOO, red dot is a crutch. As Master Rick used to say, optic makes bad shooter worse. Applies to both long range and pistol.

However, I also submit there's a placebo effect from the perceived advantage. One coworker with RMR on his G19 has a hard time hitting beyond 50 yards with irons, but with the RMR, he is consistent at the 100yards silhouette. Not relevant to the study obviously since there was no time as variable.

Concur with the article's recommendation on laser. Perhaps a parallel with no/low light shooting. Don't you HSLD guys just see the IR illuminator on the target when shooting with NOD?
