I don't think the Meucci dot relates to aiming. It is at the joint and you can't see it anyway when shooting. It is to orient the grain of the shaft the same way every time.
The ferrule on the other hand is in your line of sight.

I've used a scribe on my ferrell for years. One tip of English is one half the width of the ferrell for me.
Put the line in the middle of the CB move to the edge of the ferrell and I've added one tip of English.

I've marked the ferrule on and off for about 20 years, but it's for getting the cue into the same rotation rather than for aiming.
I was about to play a match in the Galveston tournament (about 5 years ago) and my opponent saw the mark, asked me if it was legal for aiming and then went off to find an official. He was told to shut up and play. I suspect the ruling will vary by official.

The guy who asked for a ruling for the mark on your ferrule.....
....is a great example of a nit.
There is probably a lot of crazy ideas that may actually be valid. Look at golf and all the gimmicks they have. Of course most is to make a buck but not all, many are a part of the game now, such as improvements in the putters.
I would not knock anything someone tries to help improve of simplify the game for them. I have pool glasses I made my self. People often to see them and when they notice they are not a normal pair want to see them closer. The concept of what I did is obvious and they can easily see how they help solve a problem.
What is funny is, I see them month after month struggling with their everyday glasses playing pool. You can see the obvious problem they are having but they just accept it and don't at least even try to do something about it.

That's what I thought at the time, but on the other hand, he is a pro player and probably was trying to earn his living at the event.
Not sure you wanna go iron sights on this.
Better would be to get a good Nightforce.
I know for a fact that this 5-25 is very good.
I hunt with it but I'm sure there's a way to attach it to a cue.

Viking exact shot shafts are perfect for beginner and intermediate players when learning to play with an aiming system. The line on the shaft will give them a visual aid in defining and confirming their line of aim before shooting.

I remember, drawing a line on one of my shaft for aiming and my opponent was saying that it not legal as no aiming device can be used during matches. I guess the question is are aiming device or aid allow in regular tournament? I didn't think that a line on a shaft can be consider training aid...but what about an automated shooting cue?
I've seen a cue that works like a gun....you line it up and then pull a trigger to shoot. LOL...now is that legal?
What about alignment device for tangent line? I play with a guy once that had a very creative prop he put on top of rail to define his tangent line.

So just to be clear, putting a line on your ferule would be legal in tournaments wouldn't it? When I first started shooting my grandpa put a small line on my ferule and had me always line my cue up that way but I haven't used that cue in years. I've actually never thought about if it would be tournament legal, no one ever said anything in league when I first started shooting.
