Who shoots a AR15 without a 3rd point of contact???
100 yards would be a lot easier than 25 yards.
25 yards has 10 inch plates.
The 100 yards has larger USPA Silhouette steel. Too easy.

Agreed. 10 inch plate at 100.

100 yards to ten inch plate with zero magnification red dot?
Homie please.
Apples and oranges.
You're confusing slow precision shooting with my super fast combat shooting.

Irons:  Either target in focus and irons fuzzy - or target fuzzy and front sight in focus. Unless the target is super close and super large you're going to be dealing with some degree of trade off between your sights and your target clarity.

vs

Dot: Both Target and Dot in focus at all distances.  More info with less mental energy.

The more complicated things get (increasing movement, smaller targets, decision making) - the dot gives you more and more advantage.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here

ETA: 2 weeks ago I was doing a 10y walk back with a newer shooter on a 8 inch diamond spinner and my 17 YO rolled up on 4 wheeler wanting to join. We Shoot at 10, everyone who hits goes to 20, then 30, etc.

Son of a gun went toe to toe with me out to 70y before we both dropped. I was sweating he was gonna beat me. We did a tie breaker at 80 and I won. Not today kiddo.  Still I was stunned at his capability for someone who shoots like 200 rounds a year.   Dots make it easy.

Gen5 g19 with RMR and GPT
I have two gen 4 rowland special style 19s with RMRs and kkm comp barrels. One has a very smooth, "revolver" style break and is my HD gun (I have toddlers so I switched to a handgun in a little safe with a simplex lock). The other has the GPT.

I can hit a 2/3rd size USPSA target 80% of the time at 100 yards with either of them. Nearly made B class in open in steel challenge on my first try, and I hadn't shot an auto in two years. I love them.
