bob-nj sir
I’m 50 and was born with wonderful better than 20/20 sight. By the time I was 18 I had to wear glasses to read a chalk board from the back of a class room, now at 50i can’t hardly read 2” print on a box without glasses.
It’s all astigmatism and every two year when I get my eyes checked it’s always been slightly worse. Every four years requires new scrip for my glasses.
In short sir, what I’m saying is I understand sympathetically.
There are two things you can do “or three” depending on how it works for you.
My first experience with fiber optic sights was as exciting as my first experience with contacts, one word.
Out standing
You can use different colors front and rear to find what works for you and line up all three colored dots. They don’t seem to fade out front to back and are excellent in low light when other open sights seem to fail.
Some one suggested peep style sights and those are as varied from super basic to very expensive and also work very well depending on what your trying to do and what combination of peep related sights you are using.
Then you can use a combination of peep and fiber optic. If you are using this sighting system for general hunting and target should work very well for you.
The rear sight in a peep sight system can be a simple ghost ring to a fine peep.
Then the front sight can be even more varied and the combination can get as expensive as optical glass so I usually just go with glass as it’s easier to use and decide what to get and use for a given set up.
Hunting glass for me is usually 4x30 something or 6x40 single power.
Get a rear peep of the right diameter “I think I’m right here” that improves your focus for your use with Target paper punching. Then when in the field hunting you can remover the small peep and use the threaded part as a ghost ring for ease of sight picture.
I would suggest trying both a brass bead and fiber front in either red or green.
My second suggestion would be a front and rear fiber optic sight , red in front and green in rear.
When the red diapers between the green or are lined up with the green your ready to go bang.
Finder optic open sights work great for hunting with open sights and astigmatisms.
Back to peep sights.
I use diopter and peep somewhat enter changeable but they really are not. So for give me. When I said diopter I was referring to peep.
The peep size can tremendously aid your yes in their abilities to focus and the peep or ghost ring virtually disappears so you are only focusing on the front sight and the target. As someone else pointed out your eye/brain automatically centers the peep and it vertically disappears.
Then if you get the sighting system as a whole the muzzle sight is almost unlimited and you choices are as varied as scope choices.
Cross hair, globe, post , post and globe, brass bead, and more. Circle with a cross and dot.
Again it just depends on what you are going to use it for. These front sights with this system are easily changed from one to another if you chose to get them as well.
I’m new to peep sight systems but like them enough to get a ghost ring for my yellow boy and may get more for future walking guns.
I know nothing about diopter other than they focus and are kinda like scopes and peeps and are still considered open sights.
