3 MOA Dot

As your most precise point of aim, this setting is ideal for any application that uses tight-patterning shotgun and load combinations. Its simplicity and uncluttered view are perfect for turkey hunting, or any other slow to stationary target.

32 MOA Circle + 3 MOA Dot

The 32 MOA circle opens up your point of aim, simplifying shots on slower moving game like pheasant. (The 32 MOA circle roughly corresponds to a full choke’s pattern.)

65 MOA Circle + 3 MOA Dot

With the bigger circle, you get a better shot at fast-moving, closer-range game like passing ducks. Perfect for fast-shooting scenarios 65 MOA places those wider patterns at shorter ranges. (The 65 MOA circle roughly corresponds to a modified choke’s pattern.)

32 MOA Circle + 65 MOA Circle + 3 MOA Dot

Put all the options together and you get a point of aim with all the versatility to drop running rabbits and other small game that changes directions and speeds quickly. Adaptability and versatility are the name of the game with this combination, letting you both place a precise shot when needed, and place those wider patterns on moving game in a hurry.
