Options for front sight on CVA accura

[Mallardmasher]

I put a peep for the rear sight, but would like a smaller front sight, preferably a fiber optic, but smaller then the factory dot. Or any other options that both gather light and are more precise past 100yds. Any thoughts?

thats the tough part about fiber optics, they all have that black ring crap surrounding the fiber optic 

One sight I'd look into are the ones made by Truglow.

Couple of thoughts... You can get a thinner fiber optic rod - most Archery shops will have a variety...

Two - One thing that I learned in the military shooting on various rifle teams was what is called a 6:00 hold.  You place the point you want to impact on the top of the bead.



With the sight setup I use the illustration shown in "H"

One other thing that helps me immensely is that sight the rifle in with what is called a PBR...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-blank_range

With a muzzle loader I set a 3" PBR - through a given range if the rifle is aimed 'dead on' the bullet will never be higher or lower than 3 inches.  In most cases with a ML this works out to be about 3" high @ 100 yards and dead zero around 150-160 yards depending the weight of the bullet and the muzzle velocity.

This ballistic sheet shows what I am indicating.



Hope some of this might help...
