Peep rear sight with Globe front?
« on: September 03, 2021, 03:14:40 PM »
Hello All, just ordered a rear peep sight and a Western Precision globe front sight. Does anyone else use this combination? Pros? Cons? Thanks Jason

I shoot a rear peep and a hooded front sight so close to a Globe. I went with the hooded because I made a custom front sight that has a .030" fiber since the original .060" fiber was way to big for 150 yds.

I personally had trouble with a peep globe combo, I just couldn't focus on the target and the front sight at the same time it was one or the other never both. Ended up keeping the peep and putting a fiber optic front sight on instead.

Sounds like a quality setup

The problem with fiber optics is most are .060" and that size will cover a deers chest cavity at 150 yds. I had to make a smaller one since I was shooting deer out to 190 yds. So if you are shooting over 125 yds. the .060" sight might not work for you.

Got me curious so I just went out and measured my fibre and it is indeed .060, so now I will have to take a much harder look at my front sight at some known target dimensions.  I have plenty of new fibre optic on hand for bow sights so I could swap it out to .029 if need be.

Not as easy to just swap the fiber out as the metal holding it in will not hold a smaller one with out cri.ping it and they usually break if you do that.

Mine is a Williams front sight and hood. I don't remember where I ordered it from as it has been a few years. The front site blade I have is not the original one. I bought a metal front sight with the brass bead and then removed the brass bead and drilled out the sight and notched it for a .030" green fiber. I used a #69 drill bit and damn that thing is small. I also used a slightly taller front post as I was hitting to high with my rear peep.

Hard to get a good picture but here is a comparison of the .030" (Green) and the original .060" (Red).

I should look into doing something like you've got going there I'm sure mine is a .060 which makes it easy to see and all but not very great out past 100 yards just covers too much of the target.
