Shooting With a Red Dot

[RugerFanRyan]

So recently I bought a red dot for my rifle. I went to the range and fired my frist 10 shots VERY low and right. Fixed that and went about a 1 inch group at 50 yards with it just below the orange. So now that I have it sighted properly I let my friend use it he shot low right. I pick up the rifle and fire another group low right as well... I'm not sure if it's the sight ( I doubt it ) or if I'm just not doing it right.

Can anyone give me tips on what I should be doing to stay acurate with a red dot?

Thanks.

Check your mount/mount's...and torque on screws...and what brand is it?

I did that while I was shooting. When the shots started going off I made sure it was on there right. Uh the box says UTG on it. Idk if that is bad or not. I bought a relatively cheap red dot due to it being my first one and money...

UTG is an airsoft company i'm pretty sure and it will not hold a zero usually you get what you pay for. not tryin to break ur balls or nohtin

It could just be a bad unit? stuff happens, I have a cheapy Tasco pro point and it works great over ten years now...

I've never had any luck with UTG or NcStar optics. Never stayed zeroed or the picture through them was just awful.

Wanna buy a Burris 135 Speed dot? I've got one that I was thinking of selling. UTG is about the best China could put out that day. Burris is a few steps up. Definitely not the top of the line, but better that UTG.

Maybe depends on the price. Jobless right now so yeah..
