when you order this sights do they come with different apertures?  or is that something you have to order?

The williams typically only comes with one appurture (spelling?)  The David Pedersoli looks to only come with one, but I have not purchased one.  I am considering it for this year.

I just bought a new used Black Diamond at the gun show today and it came with he williams sight so I have one with both types of sights. I am excited to see what the difference is.  The peep does seem a little weird.

Will the williams peep just bolt right on to my Black diamond or would I have to go to a gunsmith and have new holes drilled and tapped. also which front site works better with the williams peep ??

Thanks !!!

I've heard that the Williams peep requires you to purchase a shorter front sight, so as to have more elevation adjustment.  Has anyone else heard of this?

I have a williams rear peep sight and I kept the original front sight on my T/C Black Diamond and it shoots great.  I killed my deer this year at 165 yds.  So no you will not need to purchase a new front sight as well.  The original will work just fine.

Wow! That's a good poke for a front-stuffer! Nicely done!

As it is now, my open sights cover the whole target at 150 yards!  :(

Thanks, I'll definately be looking at a Williams for next year.

That's why I got the peep sight.  The original open sights are freaking huge and can't see anything.  And yes with practise and a range finder 150 yard shots are just chip shots after awhile.

Throw away the stock sights get the williams peeps. Both my brother and I used the stock sights and the williams today and its not even close.  You can see sooo much more, and you just put the red optic on the target and bang its done.  8)

Lol!  Yes, I do believe the open sights are destined for the trash! 

Thanks for the update! 

Were you using the stock front sight?
