The white dot on my sight is whiteout. I also keep a little bottle of it in my hunting coat pocket. Yes, you are correct that it shows up nicely on a deer.

Well my Ebay fiber optic sights arrived, I will take them in the timber before mounting them but they did not pass the gun safe test for brightness as compared to the fishing lure white and jig head chartruce yellow. I like the fiber optics on my slug gun fine these TC sights are not as bright. The old style renegade sights and the TC peep with the post are what I like best. For this season I will just have to be conservative on my shots in regards to daylight. I will let you all know how the head shot squirrel at 50 yards pans out.

Ok I pretty much nixed the FO sights they may be helpful for my wife though. I tried to win some partridge sights with the wider notch from Ebay but went shooting instead of watching an auction. so I took a file to the semi buckhorn sights on my renegade, about 20 light strokes with a jewlers file and the blueing pen on each side of the rear notch and it looks great. Back to the range.

well I am getting older. I cant see through the newer style TC sights very well(semi buck horn?). The Partridge style are great, the peep are great. I may have to use the TC fiber optic style in the dark timber if the Fishing lure paint does not cut it. I need to do a late afternoon squirrel hunt prior to deer season. I hate the idea of using the fiber optics but wounding a deer is much worse. I still have good vision 20/20 it is just the dark timber at dusk that is tough to se
e my sights, the last 20-30 min of legal shooting time when the deer come. Any suggestions are appreciated.

about 6 weeks ago I added a set of dovetail fiber optics to a .54 for hunting..... For ME 6" 100 yard groups came down to 3" and 50 yard groups are almost 1 hole again... Maybe glasses would cure it to but a fuzzy front sight dont help much at all....

Ok SO I got the front sight from Ebay auction....took the fiber optics outside at 5 min before legal shooting ends... they lit up really nicely and the sight in front was small enough. I am going shooting with these on Sunday, My other front sight was too big and covers my target. So we will see. It took 15 minutes to put them on.
