Illuminated vs non illuminated reticles

[kmon]

All my sights have illumination. Only time I use them is when I'm running my shorty with the red dot are at night when I'm hog hunting and turn the dot on in my viper pst gen 2.

I keep both on as low a setting as possible.

Agree on that lowest setting possible. I have seen several scopes that d not turn down enough for my liking when it is dark. Too much light in the scope makes it hard for me to see the animal. Part of that could deal with my eye issues but not all of it.
