An Illuminated Red Dot Enables Faster More Accurate Shot Placement

It is the responsibility of every hunter to place the shot in precisely the right spot as this - and only this – will ensure a one shot instant kill. But in dense forest where sambar are hunted often this is easier said than done. Because an Illuminated Red Dot is much easier to see than a black cross hair, it enables faster and more accurate shot placement.

Less than perfect eyesight can cause cross hairs to blur out making fast and accurate shot placement difficult, whilst a red dot provides a clear aiming point enabling a fast, accurate shot. And unlike a black cross hair, a red dot will not become lost in a jumble of branches, twigs and leaves.

That’s why Vixen included an illuminated red dot when they redesigned the German # 4 reticle. This reticle is superior when hunting medium to large game such as sambar and wild boar in low light.
