Fiber Optic sights and glasses lens color

Post by Doodaddy »

For those that use fiber optic sights (specifically green for me) is there a lens color for your shooting glasses that doesn't wash out the front sight color?

Garin,

I have found that a yellow lens helps a little with the green fiber rod, and a rose lens will improve the red inserts. The difference is minor, but noticeable to me.

I feared that the green fiber was too similar to the yellow tint that it may "blend" so to speak. This gives me some direction. Thank you.
