Hello everyone.
When shooting indoors with artificial light,what would be the best colour for the front sight aperture disk?I have a FWB P70 and the one that came with the riffle was clear(colourless?)I read from the manual that there is also in red,green and a dark clear?What would be the best colour?
Thank you.

Front sight colour
Most indoor air rifle shooters tend to stay with a clear front sight and if colour is needed they use a rear iris with built in colour filters.
Obviously there are always exceptions, but using a coloured fore sight element will reduce the amount of light reaching your aiming eye as will colour filters in the iris.
Generally speaking a coloured fore sight element is more useful on out door ranges which are lit by natural light.
Back sight iris filters can be useful in improving the sight picture contrast on indoor ranges. However, what colour works for you may not work for some body else. I tried them all and dumped them for a clear un coloured sight picture.
Its a trial and error thing and expensive.
