How do people determine which color they prefer for optics?
I like red for FO on pistol
green for pistol battery powered optic (6MOA dot over 3 or 2) no problem with circle dot or just the circle either, they all work okay
For ACOG, I can use red and green, arrow or horseshoe either works fine for my eyes
I don't shoot rifles at night, late dusk I find green is lit nicely, but in very dark background I find the red seems to work better for me. Again, I have very little experience shooting at night.
I read about how we have twice as many receptors for red, that we pick up green easier- wavelength spectrum; red is in our brain as a priority, etc.
but it depends on what platform and as Sage Dynamics guy says, the laboratory keeps changing so it's difficult to really compare.
Any thoughts or experience to share?
