After my year of irons I'm just getting back into my TA33. I got a chance to use it in a match again last night. The techniques that are unique to this optic are coming back to me. For example, I ran a shoot house stage with the front cap down, and when I got to the end of the stage and had to engage steel, the orange paint on the steel washed out the red reticule when using it OEG style. I quickly adjusted and flipped the cap open and re-engaged the target with two hits.

I'm wanting to play with so me of the 1.x-Y optics, and they may well be better otios for many folks, but I'm having a hard time finding fault with the TA33 for my use as I get back in the swing of using it.

It certainly didn't notice any meaningful blur of the reticle. The first stage was engaging ~12" steel at ~140 yards with one round standing,one kneeling, and one prone. I got the standing and kneeling hits and missed the prone. Go figure. But I want even really consciously aware of the reticle in any way.
