Dot crosshairs put the visual anchor directly on the target. They can make tapping feel precise, but the center dot also covers a small amount of information that a gap-based crosshair would leave open.
Start with a dot only if you like a hard center reference. If the dot hides heads at long range, reduce thickness or move to a small non-dot code.

Selection notes
Dot crosshairs are precise but unforgiving
A dot gives a hard center reference. That helps tapping, but the same dot can hide small target information at long range if it is too large or too thick.
- Pure dot is cleanest but gives less spray reference.
- Dot plus lines keeps a center anchor and transfer reference.
- Tiny dot setups need strong contrast.
Test head coverage at long range
Before saving a dot code, aim at long-range head positions. If the dot covers too much of the model, reduce thickness or try a small non-dot code.
Use dot codes for deliberate aim checks
Dot setups are useful when you want to make crosshair placement obvious. If the dot is not already on head level, the mistake is easy to see.
Workflow
1. Try dot plus lines first
Use a dot with short arms before switching to a pure dot.
2. Check long distance targets
Aim at long-range head positions and confirm the dot does not hide the model.
3. Reduce weight if needed
Lower thickness, alpha, or outline if the dot feels too heavy.
