I definitely recommend a red-dot sight. Running shots become so much easier. The key to using one though is learning how to use both eyes. Use the eye your looking in the scope with to be the main focus eye, and just use your other eye to see the animal like normal. That way you can see what the animal is doing and about to do and you can react with the eye looking through the red-dot. As already mentioned, they're great for thick brush country and for quick, repeating shots. My dad and I just got back a mount we ordered from the B-Square company and we mounted it on our old Winchester .30-30 with a red-dot on it. We haven't sighted it in yet, but I must admit, it looks freaking sickly awesome!!! Good luck in your decision.
