Well between the red dot vs. the green dot, the green dot is the winner every time. It shows up better in low light![8D]
I remember hearing on a discovery channel program quite a while back that the human eyecan, by far,pick up and see moreshades of green than any other color, thats why night vision is seen in shades of green
dont know how true it is but it makes sense I guess...

I am looking at Red Dot scopes and plan to mount one on my Excalibur Vixen. I go to Wally world and see one for $29.95 and $39.95 some made by Aim some By BSA. At Cabelas there are a number of them from $19.95 and up.Some are Red Dot some are Green Dot. What is the difference?
I've used the various "$29.99" 30mm red dot scopes by BSA, tasco and blazer and besides a slight variance in lens shade I havent noticed any real difference between any of them, they're all pretty much the same deal just with different names on them
I also have no complaints with any of them, I havetascos on a couple of my guns with no problems at all,one I've had on my .44 super redhawk for yearsand its held up just fine
Ialso have BSA's on a couple of my guns, which are the same scope walmart sells,and one on my crossbow, its a single dot but I prefer it like that anyway, its simpler and less confusing...
I actually dont care for the mulitple dot red dot scopes, even with mutiple dots you still have to know, or be able to judge the yardage to make the various dots accurate at they're intended ranges and IMO if you know the yardage and what the drop of your arrow is at that yardage you really dont need all the extra dots cluttering upthe field of view in the scope, thats just my opinion though...
