Rule: Under Rule 13.1F, you are required to take relief if your ball ends up on the wrong green. The rule also states that you must take relief if your intended stance is interfered with by the wrong green. “When there is interference by a wrong green, you must not play the ball as it lies,” the rule says.

You may not substitute a ball on the putting green unless your ball is cut, cracked or out of shape (see Rule 4.2c(2)). “ From USGA Rules FAQ. Definition of “Substitute”: “To change the ball you are using to play a hole by having another ball become your ball in play.

Loose impediments and movable obstructions can be moved anywhere on the golf course, including in bunkers and penalty areas, even when your ball also lies in the bunker or penalty area. The only time a penalty does not apply is if your ball lay on the putting green when moving a loose impediment caused it to move.

According to the rule, if the player farthest from the hole is not ready to play, he can ask another player to hit a shot or putt. In that circumstance, you could receive permission to hit your putt even though your ball is not farthest from the hole.

Plumb bobbing is a technique some golfers use to line up putts by using a putter as a plumb bob to create a vertical line they can use to compare the slope of the green. Plumb bobbing is a way to get a general feel for the overall movement of the green, not a way to line up putts.

Depending on what you calculate as the slope of the greens, you use your fingers to determine a spot to aim the ball with your putt. For example, if it’s 2 percent, then you use two fingers to pick the spot left or right of the cup, again based on the slope you feel with your feet.

Aimpoint always wins on battery life. EOTech wins on reticle options. EOTech wins for smallest dot which is better for long range shooting. Aimpoint wins again on battery life (worth mentioning twice.

The U.S.’s elite military units commonly use the Aimpoint and EOTech red dot sights, just to name a few. They have used the Aimpoint Comp M2 & M4 EOTech 553 Holographic Sight’s past and present. As a Navy SEAL, I used the Aimpoint, ACOG TA01NSN and Colt 4 X 20.

They’ve used these optics for years and I don’t think it will be the expense alone that will keep these organizations from completely discarding their inventories of EOTech. If they are smart—and they are—it’s likely that they’ll hold on to the optics and use common sense because, in short, EOTech is still good-to-go.

Thousands of EOTECH sights are used by federal law enforcement and military, including special operations forces.

A true red dot sight is a reflex sight enclosed in a tube. They offer a brighter reticle than open sights and open reflex sights provide a wider field of view and unlimited eye relief. Open sights are better for faster target acquisition and are more comfortable for aiming with both eyes open.

L3Harris Technologies said today it has agreed to sell its EOTech business to American Holoptics, an affiliate of Koucar Management.

The Army has officially selected a fresh optic to go with its brand new Precision Sniper Rifle. Oregon-based sightmaker Leupold will furnish the service with its Mark 5HD 5-25×56 rifle scope to use on the Mk 22 Mod 0 PSR that’s based on the Barrett MRAD bolt-action multi-caliber system, the company announced last week.

While there isn’t a singular definition for what constitutes a sniper scope, most scopes over 20x magnification are capable of being used with a long-range rifle. These kinds of scopes are mostly used for long-distance accuracy competitions or for hunting targets that won’t move much, like slower and larger animals.

The requirements for the military are different. While their standard 10x scope is the ideal magnification for target at medium to long range, it’s best suited for 250 to 1000 yards. When shooting under this distance, the 10x scope is more of a disadvantage because the range of view is decreased.
