When the description says adjustable wind and elevation, does that mean that you are able to move the red dot around the sight? Because if I were to get a riser then I would need to lower the dot in the scope because with a raised scope you wouldn't be able to see the paint at all...any thougts.
I betcha one person will say scopes are stupid and don't work. I have a different opinion, leave me be. I can validate having one.

well people will post anyways. its an ignorance thing, if it doesnt work for them how can it possibly work for anyone else... meh cant stop em so just ignore em, I love my scope and get all kinds of use out of it.. tho I will admit ive never tried to shoot with it... but thats me :P I still like it :)
A riser will probubly caus eyou to need to slightly adjust it.. maybe not at all, a inch doesnt make that much of a difference in the end tho... whatever the fact I cant see a riser being a problem for you

Hi
I have an A-5 with a riser. I have a Nc star 42mm red dot. At fifty feet the dot is about 6 inches higher the where it hits. Which isn't bad.
On my T9 Tiberius I have a Tapco 42mm red dot. I sight it in at 100ft and at 50 ft it is about 6 inch low.
The trick is to sight it in at the distance you want. Then you just have to judge distance and hold above or bellow your target.
Red dots will give you your left to right aim. You just will need to judge your distance. Pratice a little bit and you will become good with your sight.

Yes. However, as slingshot said, and due to the limited ballistics of the paintball, I would sight in at half the maximum effect range. Then you can learn how far up or down to aim as you play.

I would suggest getting the bigger red dot. Like a 42 to 45mm. Because it will let you have your head at stronger angles. It faster to sight. With mine I can keep my head almost upright. With a 30mm I couldn't.

Awesome, it helps. I was just wondering and what y'all said helps. What slingshot66 said is someting I would have never thought of, I would most likely of adjusted my aim to the default setting. But that's cool.
