It is wether it helps or not. I have a list of guys as long as my arm who gave up on dots because they couldn’t reliably pick it up. This is after years of iron shooting. Competition shooters are their own breed. They put the work in and it’s competition. A flat presentation while on your side behind cover wearing body armor makes picking up the dot a lot tougher. The high draw to flat presentation is subtle but helps a lot. To each his own. Not saying your way is wrong. Again, these are tier 1 guys teaching this technique not me.
