This guide details how to use the unique Circle Dot reticle found on EoTech sights for estimating target distance. An expert instructor explains how an average human silhouette's size relative to the reticle's components (outer ring and center dot) can indicate distances from 100 to 400 yards. This technique is valuable for making rapid, informed adjustments in the field.

Quick Summary

Estimate target distance with an EoTech Circle Dot reticle by observing how a human silhouette fills the reticle. At 100 yards, it fills the outer ring. At 200 yards, it spans from the bottom ring to the center dot. At 300 yards, it covers two-thirds of that space, and at 400 yards, it extends from the dot to halfway down the ring.
