How does it work to aid precise reticle alignment ? What else has been tried in the past and discarded - and why ?


To kick things off: the current preference here...

When sized correctly a duplex reticle breaks the target into 4, squares being good. Allows placement of the reticle (black) over a white aiming point, and I find it slightly easier to tell the difference between squares and rectangles than matching the size of four sectors when using an equivalent circle. Disadvantage: hard to see shots in the black from a distance, and unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as well for me if the outer square is thinned down to fix this. For conventional crosshairs only.

Print it in red, can still see the lines well and also see your shots over the line I use a flash harry thing @kiwi39 sent me. Basically a diamond or square on its point. Although I got lazy and now just draw a 10- 15mm dot If you cant see where you hit its normally a good group
