For sure...i am glad the horse shoe & thick side bars are there for use @ 3X.
If memory serves me correct everything lights up other than the side bars and horseshoe.
I will try to snap a picture of it later when i am home tonight.
FYI; when i was jacking with it this morning; the illumination is only bright enough to use during low light.
Interesting. My original intent was to only illuminate the center dot/hash arrangement, not the whole tree. Ultimately, it is up to them. On scopes like this, I really like to have a small illuminate portion.
