I am just getting back into HFT and am wondering if anyone uses their illuminated ret on dark courses or does good glass make it unnecessary?

Ive only ever done one hft course and i did use IR...
In woods first 4 targets then open field for 12 targets then back in woods for the rest by the time i got back to the woods and needed it it had turned itself off... hawke digi nite eye for you, auto off after an hour.
Daystate Regal xl .177 / Hawke niteeye 6-24x50irsf...
Weihrauch HW97 .22 tbt kit / Hawke sidewinder 30 10×42...
2 ferrets and a net...
for me as I get older I am finding I need a little bit of help with an illuminated ret,
Cheers

It is useful. Good glass doesn't make the reticule against a very dark background brighter.

I used to write my turret and IR settings on my score card. Leupold TMR rets are very fine so easy to lose against the dark, I'd also forget to switch it off a lot too!
The toxicity of lead varies, depending upon the weight of its doseage and its velocity!

I think it was that exact Bushnell series, cant remember what mag and objective though.
Whilst some may not think glass makes a difference it is generally accepted that better quality glass gathers more light making the target and therefore ret easier to see in tricky light conditions.

It may well be, but I thought the Firefly was a phosphorescent coating - a bit like the luminous hands on a watch.
I don't know enough to be sure but my little Bushell 10x40 is a corker.
However, I am aware that they can suffer really bad parallax error - so not sure of its capability really.

I have mine on low when I shoot. Can be useful if the target is in a very dark location.
However this has only happened on 1 or 2 occasions when I have really needed it.
Nice if there is an option to have it but not essential.
