Burris FastFire® E — Enclosed Emitter Red Dot

Tech Notes — Astigmatism, Blurry Dots & Setup Tips
• Astigmatism: Uncorrected astigmatism or dry eyes can make the dot look like a starburst/comet. Check via a phone camera (dot should look crisp) and/or lower brightness.
• Training (handguns): Bring the sight close to your eye to acquire the dot, then press out slowly while keeping it centered; repeat until presentation is automatic.
• Mounting gotcha: If you see a tiny emitter glow low in the field of view but no dot on the window, the sight is likely mounted backward—flip it.
• Emitter cleanliness: Smudges, oil, or dust on the small emitter lens can blur/flare the dot. Blow off dust, use a soft lens brush, then (only if needed) a tiny amount of lens cleaner on microfiber. Avoid harsh solvents; don’t touch the LED.
