Time to change the way you view optics?
Ever since I picked up my crossbow from Horton and it came with the illuminated red and green reticle, i have changed my mind about the types of optics that I am going to be using. I had a lot of trouble going from standard duplex reticles to all of those circle, triangles and hash marks that you see on many combat optics. I’ve learned in the past that it’s best to pick a bullet weight that is flat shooting and then give yourself a better chance at getting a hit rather than knowing all of your bullet drops at various distances and having to bring a range finder with you. For 556 I tend to stick to 62gr bullets and the 150gr for .308 if I want that flat shooting trajectory.
When i first looked through the Trijicon Accupoint scopes that looked very odd to me. I had trouble understanding why I need to have a pole reticle but the Trijicon Accupoint rifle scopes have a very clear and pin point aiming system that can actually help many shooters see their target instead of covering it with crosshairs. There are different reticles you can get and background can make a difference. There are certain wooded areas where amber or yellow reticles might do better for your eyes than the green or red, but it’s really all about preference. There are many Trijicon Optics out there to choose from and their hunting optics are superb.
