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.

lokidog it looks like you and Sabotloader have the same idea on removing the inner part of the peep.

I have the same setup as sabotloader, but do not like the aftermarket williams front sight as well as the stock one, bead is way to big. IMO

But.... and I am just throwing this out there... You do not use the front bead to cover your target or desired POI - the Point of Impact should sit right on top of the bead!  You want to see what you are going to hit!  So, I was taught when shooting open sights in rifle competitions use a 6 O'clock hold on the target.  Jst be consistent with the hold.

This picture shows the various 6:00 holds gives you an ideal of what I seeing as I look through the hooded front sight.

So basically I am using sight picture 'H'

This might help also...

This is a picture where I have set clay birds at different ranges... I would tell you the front bead will completely cover the bird at 100 yards and come very close to covering it at 75 yards.  To prevent the blotting out of the target with the front sight I set the bird on top of the sight... Results   

I skipped the 25 yard bird because it just seemed to easy - so it is still standing at the time of the photo... the other clays were not so lucky! And in the end I could not go without shooting that final either  :)
