It tells you how big the dot appears to be on target. 3 MOA covers about 3 inches at 100 yards, 4 MOA 4 inches at 100 yards. 3 MOA would be about .3 inches at ten yards and 1.5 inches at 50 yards. Watch-Six

3 MOA means that dot is three inches wide at 100 yards. it covers 3" of your target at that distance. extrapolated, means 6" of coverage at 200...etc....

3 MOA is the size of the dot. One MOA being appx. 1" at 100 yards, a 3 MOA dot will cover 3" at 100 yards, 6" at 200 yards, 1.5" at 50 yards, etc.

There was a thread a little while back in the optics section kinda along this lines. Someone had been having a problem with the 3moa Aimpoint. Come to find out, it was his Stigmatism in his eyes that caused the dot to become oval. He got a 4 MOA model and has no problem. He had found out from Aimpoint that this is kinda why the went to a 4 MOA model.

Take a look at www.bullseyepistol.com for a pretty decent explanation of red dots.
Yes, asigmatism will have an effect, as may plastic lenses in glasses, |
