iShootguns Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 When I started I was using a red, then a buddy of mine said to try green. Shortly after, I switched to black on black and now I am back to green haha. Green is most definitely the easiest for my eyes to pick up, especially in bright sunlight.

Aircooled6racer Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hello: I was using green all the time. I see it better than the red but I think I was seeing it too well. So now I am using red but plan on trying no fiber soon. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyreb Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have been running both on several different platforms. I came to the conclusion I pick up the green much faster and changed out all the red for green rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEAN Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Green is the color that the human eye picks up the easiest and with most instinctive detail (why night vision is green and not blue, red, etc). That being said, that can be offset with what you're pointing at. A green sight on a green background can wash out. But for most of us we're shooting at a B/W target. It's one of those personal preference things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I rotate between red and green. When the old fo starts to dull I switch colors. As I get used to the sight I feel like I tend to take it for granted. Switching colors causes it to stand out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowellacsbd Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 What fiber size seems to be the most common/easier-to-pick up? 0.90, 0.100, 0.110, 0.125...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlgentlegiant Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I am red/green colorblind (not severe) and find the green or yellow provides a better contrast. The red just disappears into the background at times, especially in lower light like we have here in the PNW at times. +1. Same issue here and the same results. Tried both and green seems to work better for me. Of course if I had to do it again I would go with a plain black rear sight and FO front. As it is I just never clean my rear FO so it is pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashdown Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Red with Oakley G26 lenses is the ticket for me. ^^^This. Every few years I pop a green fiber in the gun just to check...I'm going back to red again. Now for an optic, I prefer a green dot to a red dot. Weird, eh?
