Thanks for the posts. Very interesting to get other's likes.

I primarily use my open sighted guns for hounding bear and for bad weather deer hunting in rain and snow, both conditions occuring in thick timber and offering very small targets at times and fast moving targets at others. My own preference is for a big thick front post {NOT a fine blade} or sourdough combined with a square open rear with the notch cut wide to allow plenty of light around the front post when the rifle is sighted, i.e. allowing the animal's body to be seen on either side of the front post. Very fast and given time, very precise.

Some obviously like them and do well with them, but I have never been able to obtain consistent results from a bead of any kind for the front sight. I get shifting zero depending on direction of the sunlight reflecting off it and elevation is hard to maintain due to the fading of the top of the bead. I gave up on them years ago and started cutting my own.

With peep rear, I still like the same front sight.

What are the Rosary, the Cross or the Crucifix other than tools to help maintain the fortress of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
