How do they work when you're shooting a flyer with the shottie barrel? Seem to disappear? I know when you're wing shooting, thinking about it has to stop, or you're going to miss--wing shooting is reflexes (what was the old line? "Birds is reflexes, ducks is ballistics"? Something like that.) On a rifle I much prefer a tang peep or one on the receiver to any notch or buckhorn, but that standard 24 tip-down rear sight at least gets out of the way. I ain't gonna break 25 from the 20-yard line, or run 'em at skeet, no matter what, but I do wanta whack the odd grouse or cottontail at least once in a while.
mind yer topknots!

Good find on the Redfield RE-24 as they haven't been made in a long time. On my 24C, the Redfield lines up fine with the regular front sight band. On the older soldered barrel guns, the RE-24 originally comes with a riser block to raise the front sight to the proper height.
I unscrewed the aperture disc from the RE-24 to give me more of a ghost ring effect to pick up the sights faster. Try it.
Still keeping my eyes open for a Williams WGRS-24 peep sight, as they been out of production for a while.

Excellent work there Sneektip, I found the aperture on my Williams 5D too small for fast work on critters especially in challenging light conditions at dusk. I removed the aperture disk for a while and used the outer holding aperture as a ghost ring but found it hard to frame the front post with the thin walled ring, especially at dusk. I solved the problem by drilling out the hunting aperture to 3.5mm and because its close to the eye it performs as a ghost ring and has enough surrounding metal to be useful in all lighting conditions.  |
