Congratulations when your inches away at 1000 yards a fly fart can effect your shooting Reactions: sparkyv and sharps4590. My eyesight has deteriorated so I cant shoot long range without a very good scope. The final test was to determine (in actual hunting conditions) whether the fiber optic gathered enough light to clearly see the aim points in the last 30 seconds of legal shooting. I have never used that sight but have used adjustable peep sights. Never seem to get a shot over 200 yards anyhow. I use it in the timber for chasing elk and feel like Im not giving up too much in range. Even with a light scope it just felt too damn heavy. The deer were not moving in the rain but I patiently waited for the last minute of legal shooting time which was 30 minutes after sunset. Ive decided to use peep sights this year on my 9.3圆2mm. As sunset arrived, light rain moved in and what would have been a hassle with a regular scope was a non-event for the KodaBRO. There is also an accessory feature which mounts on the front sight (not shown) for determining range to deer and elk so the sight can also be used for range finding. You can hunt with high confidence that your KodabBRO crossbow shots will hit the heart/lung vitals every time with a properly placed shot. Sighting takes a little practice as compared to a regular scope but will come naturally to shooters who have used a peep sight on a vertical bow or learned to use open sights on a firearm. This is what the sight picture looks like from the rear of the crossbow. You can expect to hit a 2″ to 3″ bull at hunting distances and fine accuracy is governed by your personal ability to align the rear peep with the front sight. Upon receipt, we promptly mounted the production sight on a crossbow and went out shooting and then on an evening hunt. These observations are after extensive testing with the initial prototype and then the first actual production model coming off the line which incorporated several changes. Here is exactly what you can expect when using this sight. We shot 2″ groups at 50 yards and the experts at BRO shot 2″ groups at 60 yards with a Kodabow so it was a green light all the way. The “BRO” part stands for Bad River Outdoors who teamed up with Kodabow on the production of this sight. The optic colors are Green – Yellow – Red – Green. The rear peep is where elevation and windage adjustments occur. We also doubled up the mounting screws that hold the sight to the rail because that is how we do things at Kodabow. In the production phase, we decreased the size of the overall rear peep mass and mounted it lower. The sight uses a rear peep and is specifically built to mount and be used on a Kodabow. The 225 Big Rhino will shoot slightly flatter and the Koda-Express 185 will require a small adjustment to shoot just a touch high at 30 yards to hit the remaining extended range marks. This is a fiber optic sight with four crossbow aim points calibrated for 30- 40 – 50 – 60 yards using our Kodabow Magnum arrows and a 200 lb Bravo Zulu. I have scoured all my books but I can find no illustration of sight picture using a globe front.Iron Sights ? Not really …… the first thing you notice is the new KodaBRO Sight contains a lot more high tech gadgetry than what your dad had on “Old Bessie.” It can do better when I find the right bullet for it I have a good starting bullet and load, as I also have a Sharps in 45-90 with a 6x Maclcom, that shoots a 1.5" group at 100 Yards. IF I move my head back to remove the globe in the rear sight I have a poor rifle hold. So, I am asking how should my sight picture be, should I dismiss the globe and focus on the insert itself, center the globe itself? which is difficult with all the light that surrounds the globe inside the aperture I find that when finding my sight, the damn globe ring is shifting with every breath or head movement, while trying to keep the blade insert on the target, so I am all over the paper. When I used a plain blade, I had no problem, as it was the same as the M1. When my head is positioned correctly the tang sight aperture is between 3 and four inches from my eye, using an aperture size that gives me the best light and focus, i have the rim of the globe swimming in the rear aperture. My problem is finding my sight picture using the front globe. I used to shoot NRA high power with the M1 so I can use a peep sight.

A tremendous advantage of peep or ghost-ring sights that’s often overlooked is the sight radius actually it’s not a radius, it’s a separation. Both are reliable and rugged open sight options.
#How to use aperture sights how to
I know how to shoot as I have been shooting for over 50 years. A Talley peep sight that will t Talley scope bases (right) is shown next to an XS Sights ghost-ring sight.

Both are MVA, Rear is Long range Sharps style with Hadley eye cup and a #111 globe front with post insert.įirst things, I am 65, and use shooting glasses due to old eyes. I feel silly asking this, but hoping to get some advice in using the front globe sights with a Sharps tang sight.
