Hey all just want to ask what the internal diameter (in MOA) of the horseshoe is. Thanks
I am comparing it to the Vortex DRT that I have, which has 44 MOA on the inner ring.

Ours is much smaller. 10.6 MOA on the inner measurement you describe.
Therefore, it subtends to almost 11 inches at 100 yards, making it easy to fit around the head or chest area of a steel torso target at 100 yards. Or other torso type targets of similar size. |

Thanks PA_Mike. That's what I thought.
I hope PA comes up with another Prism version that's geared for the plinker crowd. That inner donut ring on the Vortex makes it already busy for my plinking needs, and some I read on the interweb and people I meet on nthe range also have the same comment. Something like a 65MOA circle and a dot in the middle will be nice. Thanks |

What is your main use for the 65 MOA circle? If it's there, it's making the reticle more "busy" so it needs to do something to justify it's presence. How do you like to use a 65 MOA circle when you shoot?
Not a trick question, I'm always looking for info on how guys are using reticles in the real world and why they perceive them the way they do. For example I think the horseshoe is awesome for plinking because we often plink at unused clay pigeons, and you just fit the horse shoe around the pigeon and blast it while your buddy is still lining up his iron sights.

No doubt the cyclops is awesome especially for it's intended purpose. Why I want a 65MOA circle with a dot is for plinking, the larger circle makes it easy to find the dot, while it's not too busy or obstructive when I want to shoot smaller things at the range, I can also use the same on my shotgun for home defense. That is just me though.
If only my eyes were as good as when I was young and I didn't have astigmatism, I could have settled with the holosun with a circle dot. |

I have a circle dot reticle on my HD shotgun. I use the large rings when firing at up-close, home defense distances. Up close it is probably perfect. Also, it is something to aim with rather than nothing and is not a tiny 1 MOA dot which is slower to acquire. It makes for very fast aiming and shooting.
I use the dot for slugs. Out to about 100 yards, my smooth bore is still fairly accurate with slugs (keeps them in the black). The 1 MOA dot might be overkill but it definitely works at those longer ranges. |

I wish someone would make one with a single bigger dot. I have the Spitfire AR and I’m not sure what all the circles are for. I’d rather have a 3-4 moa dot and maybe a thin circle.
On the vortex the dot is very small and precise but the thick circle makes it hard to use. |

On the vortex the dot is very small and precise but the thick circle makes it hard to use. Thin outermost ring starts to draw your eye in without concentrating on it because it's so thin. Thick middle donut/ring makes framing your target incredibly quick and easy. The center dot is already 3moa, and gets lost without illumination quite easily on it's own, but not in conjunction with the concentric circles. It does appear smaller then 3moa though when not illuminated and allows for surprising precision for it's size. I could see ditching the outermost ring, but the rest is a standard that everyone uses for a reason.
