My recommendation is to keep your target, then shoot on different days under radically different lighting conditions, especially under bright glaring sun AND dim, dark, overcast conditions as well. Compare zero's of the different targets using different sights and see what happens.

It was this procedure that made me give up on beads and go to "pistol sights", i.e. wide front, flat-topped posts and wide rear notches. Beads looked great in the gun room, and shot OK under some lighting conditions, but I just could not get them to repeat and since I hunt in sometimes very dim lighting and sometimes very bright, I needed something that worked in both circumstances.

I shoot a couple game targets for a test as well, and again, under varying lighting conditions {they are shot at 100 meters from sitting on the ground, no bench} the beads give me varying zero's depending on lighting. These targets have no precise aiming point and require the sights to be placed in a "void" of sorts, again demanding accuracy and repeatability.

Changing sights on a gun can be a job you won't want to repeat, and though this procedure might take some time it might help uncover some issues you might not see on one trip to the range. In the end I think it will help you nail down what you really like and save you trouble in the long run. You might find you like a bead/"V", or a wide post/notch, or something else...
