Holographic sights project a hologram that appears to place the reticle on the same focal plane as any target you look at.  This feature is why they use the optical technique in fighter jets’ heads up displays (HUDs).

A red dot sight uses an laser emitter to project a reticle on the same focal plane as the optic’s objective lens (similar to the focal plane of an etched reticle in a traditional scope).

An EoTech isn’t unique because it uses the circle/dot reticle. The use of holograms is what sets it apart.  The Vortex Huey is the only other small arms optic that uses holography.

Projecting a hologram takes more power than using a red dot’s laser emitter.  That’s why eotechs have shorter battery lives.

I'd buy another Eotech but I have to buy bread and eggs instead -- FJB.

Got the arm pump in before the video 🤣

I would say that it comes down to what Garand Thumb mentions at the end of his videos, it doesn’t matter how good the sight is, if you don’t practice with it,

I just love the way the Eotech looks

Kaya’s low ready is the highest I’ve ever seen and would not fly in competition.

Eotech is good for beginners to intermediate shooters. The larger ring helps with target acquisition. But for Advanced shooters that have a consistent presentation and sight picture the T2 is less cluttered and helps with Identifying more thats going on.

Pick one and train with it.

Having owned and run optics from both companies, I will gladly spend the $ and get the aimpoint

From personal experience, Eotech is a great option for cross-eye dominant shooters. Wide window, so with both eyes open you just see the mark on the target, no interference. One exception – transitions in non-dominant eye direction (to the right in my case, I am right hand / left eye dominant). It’s like a 0.2 second delay when pretty wide side profile of the Eotech blocks the line of sight, before you turn your body with the carbine. But I guess right hand / right eye dominant people have the same problem with transitions to the left.

I used to run a UH-1 Gen 2 because I’m a vortex fan boy for a while, but I ended up selling it and bought an Aimpoint Duty RDS and never going back to a chonky sight

Clint must be pissed. Kiya getting to do all this shooting. Great stuff guys. Stay safe.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲

IMHO the most nonsensical discussion on a red dot/holo rifle optic has to be FOV. If you have both eyes open you essentially have 180 degrees FOV no matter which optic you use. This isn't your 10X scope. :-) The only value I have ever had with a large window is shooting in some really awkward position where I can't get a good mount.

Tall tan dude didn’t start at the low ready he basically started sighted in so yeah guy

I run both. I prefer my Eotech, but I have a T2 on my NV gun to keep the weight down.

Can't you have both! We all have more then one AR

If Eotech had a 50k battery life and no auto off it would be perfect especially now that they have widely released the single 1 moa dot version of the Eotech. I know per the technology the battery life won’t happen but that’s why I run a lpvo or t2 for my work gun so I can keep it on and know it’ll have a long battery life

Ina used eotech since 2003 or so but went over to aimpoint and then Trijicon because I like the idea of it being always on. Switched back to eotech and sold the others. Eotech is better for night vision, better for parallax at distance and is much faster to acquire for me. My favorite is the exps3-4.  The hold over bdc is great out to 500 yds.

The dudes from Eotech did a good interview on the Live Q or Die podcast

Got both, love both. Eotech is still my favorite. Close in shooting under 10 yards you can use the bottom portion of the ring for your height over bore offset. I like the 1 moa dot for a bit more precision at range and you also can use the reticle to range targets if needed. Its a bit more versatile in general.
