Title: Upgrade Ghost Ring?
Post by: Jimmy33 on November 22, 2019, 07:42:26 AM: How much more accuracy will i really notice upgrading from a ghost ring and front blade to a williams peep and front globe? Worth the money?

I have several sets of spare fiber optic sights. They seem to break fairly often when beating brush hunting elk. But you can still shoot without the fibers.

The big upgrade I make is to swap the colors. The guns tend to ship with green rear and red front. For me the green is much brighter and washes out the image when its close to your eye. Changing it so its red in the rear and green in the front is a very big help.
I also sight my rifle in so the impact point is right at the top of the front sight instead of having to cover the target with the front sight I just cover the bottom half of the target.

I am using a circle and the fine wire. Like howlow said only downfall is low light or dark target like a black bear.
Some guys paint them with glow paint to help fix this issue.
