im not a big fan of eotech's but will admit theres nothing faster or better on a moving target.
This morning is the 1st time I've had the chance to tryit out on anything.  A pack of 4 adult coyotes were on my dead cow this morning when I got to work.
2 left, and 2 weren't lucky. I forgot to take pics, but I'm going back late this evening. Maybe I'll get the other two, and I'll take pics. Linda got a kick out of the running shot.
That Eotech along with the reworked Rise trigger were awesome.

I'm a big fan of Eotech sites after actually using one in the field. I also rate it top drawer for home defense also.  ;)

Got the last two members of the pack of coyotes that have been after our calves today.

First thing this morning I took an off hand shot at a big male at about 100 yards and missed.  He started up hill flat out going to my left and closing towards me. Next shot was just behind him, and the next was midship, and down he went.

At about 1 I got an offhand shot at about 100yds at the last little female and downed her with 1 shot.

Here's a postmortem pic of her. Purty little female.

Good shooting. Cool gig.
Ammunition is like firewood. The more you have, the warmer you feel.
