Some scope buying advice for older folks.....

Being older than almost anyone else on Earth is not always as much fun as it sounds. One thing that suffers is your vision and your ability to see colors.

I have lost the ability to see some wavelengths of red, which is no big deal except that many scopes today have that point of light thing in them and it is always red. I just have to take someones word for it that there is a red dot inside the scope because it is invisible to me.

I have heard of scopes with green dots, but I have never tried one.

The point of this is: If you are of advanced age you may want to consider not going with a scope that depends on anything red lighting up inside of it since it is just a matter of time before you will wonder what is wrong with the scope. The answer will be the scope is just fine, but your eyeballs are getting worn out.

I guess I am lucky to have learned to shoot without a scope and I have never found one that was of any advantage to me. I also can't get the hang of that shooting a pistol while holding it with both hands thing, so I guess it all depends on what you learned when you were first starting out.
