my truglo sights

[MountainDevil54]

got this a couple weeks ago, Its the see all open sight. No front sight needed! Almost works like a red dot scope, but does not magnify the target, but the sight so you can see the triangle thats marked on the front fiber optic. This is legal in all states where fiber optic sights are allowed.

I looked at those See Alls, but don't like how it seems to cover everything below it up.  I use a williams peep and as small of a fiber as I can on the front.  I doo like that hood over the Williams front sight, though the bead looks huge.  For early/late, I unscrew the globe and just use the threaded ring since I would not be taking long shots in the legal darkness.

Agreement.. but to compensate fro the size of the bead on the front site I use a 6 o'clock hold so the top of the blade is the zero point...



And I agree the 'see all' is pretty yougly and really seems like a limb branch catcher.  Plus it seems to me the snow could easily settle on the broad flat top of the assembly. And how do you get a clear picture of the sight area, the area around and under the animal...

I am sure it works - but  lot of things work but.... time will be the real telling factor...

I've never had good consistency doing the 6 o'clock hold but I don't shoot as much as I probably should.

mine i just line the three dots up and let go  but i would like a cover on the front blade just for safety and not breaking it

Sabotloader,
Do you find that moving the rear sight to the very back of the rifle improves the accuracy of the rifle much ?  I'm mostly referring to the standard dove style sights.

For me, yes the peep at the very rear is an advantage.  With the sight at the rear and with it being a peep I do not even think about the rear sight - it is a blur anyway - all need is that clear path to allow my eyes to line up the front blade.  With the hood in place it looks like I am looking through a 1 power scope...

We were taught in rifle team competitions to use the 6 O'clock so I have been doing it since ROTC in High School so it is not foreign to me.  Even when I shooting a scope since I use a 3" PBR sighting in - I use a modified 6 0'clock depending on the range...
