Default My Own Target I made.

Here is my own target I made. You can aim for the center of the "X" as long as you can see it. Then you aim for the green circle when you can no longer see the X. You may print this target and try it if you like.

I need your opinion on a few things. I really like green and I think It is a good color and I can see it real good. Do you think red would be better? Or should I stay with green? Let me know how it goes shooting it.

Thanks for your help!

I can't remember where I read this, but I heard green was easier to see than red as your eyes get older. I beleive the thread was about open fiber optic sights. They're almost all made with greenover the breech and red at the muzzle when they should be made the opposite way. My two cents??

My thoughts exactly. And in very low light, you can still see the green pretty well while the red almost disappears. On my first T/C Black Diamond, I replaced the red fiber optic rod on the front sight with a green one. That turned out to be too much green -with the rear open sight having green on each side of it as well. So I got rid of the rear open sight and went to a Williams receiver sight on the rear. Great setup.
