RE: phoenix/lumizone
i have adjusted the focus til its clear and sharp. it just doesn't pickup the light as my eyes can that early in the morning. then if i turn on Ill. setting i see all markswell but it glares enough that what i am looking at is still dark. the green fiber optic pin i can see it even tho my eyes can't focus it clearly it being too close to my eyes. i was going to get a red dot, but thats the trouble every thing red glares badly where as the green is very easy for my eyes to see. the Bushnell on miss vixen is great glass and i see very well with it in the almost dark. there is a diff of day and nite between the 2 scopes.
that being said the old adage speaks the better the glass the better you can see. well maybe i can find a huge field of view that i can see in almost dark in a green dot/holo or something of that type. the lumizone is great for what i got it for 3-D shoots, i just wanted to hunt with miss phoenix some this year. i have gotten that Doe with her and i will use the pin & peep til i get another. then i will go back to miss vixen cause she can see in the dark!
