I'd use something with a gold bead, or Williams Fire sight for the front sight (Visible in low light).  I love a good peep sight but in dark timber it can be pretty rough.

What sight do you have on the front?  I use a fiber optic Williams sight...



And in really low light I just remove the peep aperature and use the rear sight as a Ghost Ring



Do not know if this helps you any but it does work for me...

For really low light or early/late, I unscrew the bell and just use the threaded ring.  In these conditions, ranges will be less and the loss of detailed accuracy is more than made up for in visibility.

IVe seen the screw in inserts with a brass ring that is supposed to help in low light. But I haven’t use them myself.
