Can you show me a picture of your setup? Or what brand of rear sight?
I'm at work now but can get some pictures when I get home tonight and I'll look up the two peeps I've tried and post them for you just give a some time.

That's the peep sight I'm using but that globe sight just didn't pan out for my eyes I just couldn't focus on the sight and the target at the same time.

I too have an issue with not being able to see both sights clearly so with my optima ive settled on the factory front and a aftermarket peep. So If your optima is equipped with the factory sights I would recommend a rear peep which I know of at least two different aftermarket options for the optima and you can either run the peep as it comes or drill out the aperture to a larger diameter (which is what i did) and if that isn't enough you can remove the aperture all together and have basically a ghost ring rear sight which more or less makes the rear sight dissappear went looking through it. For me this type of setup has allowed me to shoot well out to 200 yard with relative ease. Let me know if you have any there questions.
Same for me. I kept my optima front sight and installed a Williams peep. First time out I shot a buck at 212 yards. And I'm blind as a bat when it comes to open sights. :twocents:

It seems to help with the site picture for me, but I haven't been able to find more.

That brass ring does seem to help.

That brass is what I need. Is there a tutorial somewhere?
Tutorial?

In my opinion it's best to use the EABCO peep rib due to the fact that it positions your rear sight several inches further back from the front sight. The factory rear sight is really close to the front sight. The longer distance between front and rear sights is going to be more accurate especially on longer shots. The ability to easily mount a scope is also a nice bonus, but not the main reason I like my EABCO peep rib sight on my Optima.
Good advice, Bobcat. Are you using the original front ramp and fiber optic?
