I been thinking about going to peep sights because of failing eye sight, would this sight help with the problem of focusing on the rear sight?

I can confidently say that the answer to your question would be yes.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Hi Killmore,

I see that jackelope has answered your question already, but I wanted to follow up and let you know that these ghost rings are a better option than iron sights. The larger hole on these sights makes it very easy to see through, and the fire dots make it so you just line up the dots and squeeze the trigger.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I'm wanting to change the factory Knight sights on my muzzy as well.  Even with great eye sight, would you still recommend this ghost ring or what other sight would you suggest?  Thanks.

Am i the only one that has found the ghost ring to be difficult in low light condidtions? Is there another option that might have a better glow but still a circle ring?

If they're difficult in low light then standard iron sights are terrible in my opinion.  I hate fiber optic in low light myself.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Hi MtnMuley,

I apologize for the slow reply! We have been very busy this summer on some projects that we are working on, as well as preparing for hunting season! I have found that the Ghost Ring to be a good solution with either good or marginal eye sight. The Ghost Ring is not a receiver sight, so it actually sits where your current rear sight is located. This explains the larger hole, but still giving a similar feel to a standard receiver sight. Personally, I like the fiber optics on the sides because I'm not a very confident peep shooter, and it helps me align with the center of the peep. Please give me a call or email if you have any other questions!

Hi The100Road,

Personally, I have not generally been a fan of any peep sight in low light situations, but that could just be me. To me, there is a balance between fiber optics and peep sights. I think that if you added more glow to the Ghost Ring, it would actually make it harder to see your target because of the adjustment that your eye is trying to make. I could be wrong on this, but that is just my .02.

If they're difficult in low light then standard iron sights are terrible in my opinion.  I hate fiber optic in low light myself.

Hey Johnathan_S,

Py previous response to The100Road pretty much sums up my agreement with you. If only the Northwest would start to open up the muzzy restrictions!
