I have an astigmatism which causes me to see red dots as fuzzy. Since this is a triangle and tritium, will that alleviate the fuzziness?

When I look through a eo tech with its red dot and circle they are very fuzzy to me. The triangle reticle is sharp with no blur and comes to a nice fine point which I use for aiming. I really don't know how a astigmatism would effect it but for my eyes it's great.

The triangle is clear, but I still get a bit of starburst effect around the triangle. My Trijicon is sharper.

No. Are your targets fuzzy as well? How do you know what you are shooting at?
882733
As long as you are shooting at fuzzy targets I don't see what the issue is.

I don't have astigmatism so I don't know really. Like other red dots, the reticle does look fuzzy if you're looking directly at it. It looks sharp and proper when you're looking PAST the dot, at your target. I'm not sure if this sight will be any better for you or not.

Yes. Both the front and rear sights have tritium inserts. Both are very bright in low or zero light.

"Useable yes, easy no" is my experience. If the sunlight is really bright, it is hard to see the red dot. Not a problem if you are doing simple distance measurements, but triangulation did not work well for me. It's great on a moonlit night!

Absolutely not. Make sure that your line of sight is inline with the scope and not shifted to a side. Also do not focus on the triangle, focus on the target itself. If that doesn't work the sight could simply be defective. Don't get discouraged with the product, when functioning properly it is hands down one of the best out there. Hope this helps.. Michael

It didn't help with mine at all. I did find something helped though and could feel it immediately, called deli via awakening eye gel. Not sure if sold on amazon. But great results and cheaper :)

If it is listed as Tritium, it is. Flip it up and it is on the smaller aperture only.

Says China. But I'm happy with it and my other Vortex products. I'm the one in ten that has the astigmatism, so I see a cluster of dots instead of a single dot. But its the same with Eotech and other popular red dots or prism type sights to me.

The green will always glow to some extent as it is actual tritium. The orange is a phosphorescent paint. It needs to be charged. Grab a flashlight preferably a higher lumen tactical one and shine it directly on the orange post. Then go into darkness with it. 10 seconds should be good for a minute or two. Any which way I have used alot of the sights on the market and to be perfectly honest. As far as combat sights go these are the best on the market. I am an experienced shooter and have served in the military and LEO. Stick with these sights you won't regret it.

Not really. I tried it. It is kind of hard to hold them in position. If you have bad ASTIGMATISM, THESE WILL NOT FOCUS ENOUGH.

Absolutely. I wear tri-focular lenses and only lose a small portion of the field of view. Slow panning is the thing you use when looking for game in the brush or trees and the field of vision is not noticeable.

because there is a fiber optic tube in front of the enclosed tritium glass ampule therefore it allows for daytime ambient light adjustments in brightness and the glass ampule tritium shines up through the tube during total darkness to allow you to line the site's up. This allows for sight alignment through ALL levels of available light. The long sight assembly protects all the parts that make these sights work so well

it is in the front and rear...but to be honest both are really small and difficult to see even at night. If your the kind of person who buys quality parts as a rule...go ahead bc I don't think you'll find a tougher sight anywhere then trijicon, but there are probably tritium vials that grow brighter. Oh yeah, and this attaches with a weird glue that they send with the item. I'm skeptical of glues, but it has held up fine thus far.

Some people with an astigmatism will see more than one dot or the dot will seem out of round. I am one of those people and you just get use to it over time. My aimpont and delta point do the same thing.

I can't answer that because I returned the sight due to it being so small and ineffective. The picture is deceiving. Not only was the entire post small, but the so-called tritium insert was all but useless. I bought the tru-glow night sights and couldn't be happier.

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, and it does not glow in the dark. As it decays slowly into helium, it emits electrons (called beta decay). The inside of the tiny vial in the sight is coated with a phosphor. When the tritium electrons hit the phosphor, the phosphor emits the light; this is called fluorescence. Some extra info: There are many phosphors, but none of them contain phosphorus. They contain various elements such as zinc, copper, sulfur, etc. Different combinations emit different colored light. The tritium has a half-life of about 13 years. Therefore, after 13 years, only half of the tritium in the gun sight will remain. This does not necessarily mean that the sight will be only appear half as bright to your eyes in total darkness; it is possible that it will seem nearly as bright as when you bought it. I can better answer this in 13 years. Sorry for the long answer.

For proper eye relief you should use one of offset mounts, like the Burris PEPR or Vortex mount; it will not be above the sight, but at magnification you won't see it.

with out the 3x magnifier I wanted the two dot easy to see . with out the 3x magnifier over two dots hard to see them . yeah with 4 dots and no &#9726;3x magnifier looks like a straight line. I dint want the weight and pay the extra cash. my friend has the 4 dot and 3x magnifier really nice set up. hope this helped you :)
