is the pinpoint sight important?

Not really, but it taught my boys how to aim. You can literally line up the dot thru the sight and then just pull the trigger.

Not at all, but it looks really cool. It can work just fine without them, but It completes the gun.

No, It has really low brightness settings so you can use the sight in conjunction with nightvision optics.

yes, you can be returned by the same route that traces using the option "way points", it is important to highlight those areas of importance for better orientation upon return, especially where there is no road or the topography is quite complex, it is a very good team, I recommend

My answer is the same as the 3 other answers it is on or it is off - once you sight it in - it's a great tool for getting on target.

Yes. One dot on top of the other. If you have 20-20 vision you'll have no problem distinguishing the two dots. If you're eye are bad, the whole sight is a blurry and you'll need your glasses. Excellent sights!

Yes. The sight post has a spring loaded pin to keep it in place. The pin can be depressed to allow for elevation adjustment or sight pin removal

I don't use a single pin, but I have put it side by side with my range finder and it is spot on. Well worth the money.

the beam does not pin point whatsoever, it does get a bit smaller though, you have to turn to adjust beamfor the money its not a bad flashlight, so please dont get me wrong, i have a nebo redline that is a much better flashlight in my opinion, and it runs on aaa batteries (3) and much brighter i think, it also adjusts and come from amazon in a few daysgood lucki hope this helps

I mounted my Aimpoint PRO on an AR-15 platform flat-top carbine. The glass is clear and the "dot"is easy to see- you get variable brightness settings. It's a very nice package deal, I think.

Since you get it for free, not bad. Narrows your view for short range tactical shoots, not enough magnification to help at the 200 yard stations. You would be better off getting the Vortex swing away magnifier. The sight itself is really good.

The Pinpointer is made to help the user to pinpoint the target in the hole or the sand. It is designed to be an aid in determining the exact target location! I guess it could be attached to the detector, to prevent it's being dropped and lost, while digging. Hope that helped! Tom

Your right about the guard ring. I don't even see it when I'm sighting. I don`t think it helps in sighting as I consternate on the pins. I do like this sight.

I do not have this particular sight anymore, however this one is used if your rear sight is mounted on a flat top rail system. If you are mounting it lower, you will need the high profile sight.

The answer is yes but it does not line up perfectly.....the aimpoint people said that It as well as theirs, will be a little off but that's how they work is if your a perfectionist you might not be able to live with it being slightly off center but it works just perfectly nevertheless.....hope this info helps you I

No, I don't think so. It is the pointer you set up for easy seeing the temperature you want to reach.

I use it with a floor standing stand at sitting ear level. Not sure how it works with pinpoint mount.

IMO terrain view is the only view to have ... updates when you get them are to both terrain and standard maps as far as I can tell. On a dark road, I find the terrain view gives me a better idea of what to expect ahead during the times I have to drive slowly. Now, I like to look at views when its safe, but at night there's nothing to see, except what's via the Garmin. I traveled up an unfamiliar windy mountain road on a trip a few months after purchasing my 3790, and "saw" the canyons and rivers running nearby. I'm not talking about side views, but a pseudo topographical mode that gave me enough information to feel I wasn't entirely "in the dark" going thru an area I might never pass by again. But that's just me. :)
