I took my brush gun out last weekend and swapped the iron sights for a small red dot. The dense cover meant shots were close and fast, the dot made target acquisition instant. I liked that I kept both eyes open, peripheral awareness stayed sharp, and follow-up shots were effortless. Zeroing was quick, battery life held through a long day, and the dot was still readable in dappled light. If you hunt thick country, a compact red dot is worth trying
