Re: Red dot sights - non circle dots? Triangle or inverted V

Rule303
The Holosun thread details a reflex sight I'd like to try out.

Why does my dot look misshapen?
Make sure you are looking through the optic focusing on your target, not on the dot.
If you are prescribed corrective lenses be sure to wear them.
Try reducing the intensity 1-2 steps.
A starburst effect or misshapen dot can be caused by astigmatism. You can check this my rotating the uninstalled optic while viewing the dot. If the shape rotates with the optic there may be an electronic or mechanical issue. If the shape does not rotate with the optic, this is how your eye perceives the reflected dot.

I've had a look at the V dot sight. I've been told it doesn't get as starry by astigmatism as the circle dot. No idea of the truth or not of this.
