I have three guns with peep sights, the only iron sights worth a darn for my eyes.
Now, the problem with peeps is that they aren't worth a darn in the first golden fifteen or twenty minutes of first light or the last twenty minutes before dark.
NOT ANY MORE!
Check this out.
Most sporting goods stores sell the Rodd-n-Bobb's BEACON for use when night fishing with a float. They cost three or four bucks and come in red or green. (They also make handy bore lights. Never go to a pawn shop without one.)
You pull the plastic bulb out a little to turn it on, and push it back in to turn it off. The self contained battery lasts for over twenty hours.
Here's what it looks like turned on.
If you use electricians tape to mount one of those little suckers a few inches behind your front sight, LIKE THIS;
Your sight will glow LIKE THIS;
Believe me, if you can see the deer well enough to place a shot, you will be able to see the sight just fine through the peep.
I keep the light and tape mounted on a small piece of plastic that came in some packege or other, and just peel it off to place on the barrel. It goes back on the plastic when I take it off.
No, no. There's no need to thank me - just send money. :grin:
