    Green is more visible and better for our eyes, always used green for hogs

    The military is now putting blue instrumentation in aircraft and vehicles. It is also showing up in optics. Projected blue might have some benefits.

    This. Pay attention if and when you’re at an airport at night. For some reason, blue is popular.
    Heck, I can see blue light bars on cop vehicles from miles away….well before red or green traffic lights.

    I voted green. For some reason I see that better during the day (I know you asked about night), but I suspect it’s better at night too.
    I am often in error, never in doubt!

    I should have been more clear. What color scares game the least.

    I may be stuck using red because my optic is green. I could go lpvo 4x and use the green laser genetics focusable laser.
