Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Old eyes and open sights

I've never seen a "quick detachable" front sight hood. In my experience, they are quick to install, but a pain in the azz to remove. I've always had to use a pair of snap ring pliers to expand them before I could get them off.

I have used, and still do (with my 72 year old eyes) use the X/S ghost ring rear and white stripe front sights. I've tried all available front sight colors, fiber optic included, and none are more visible under all conditions, than white stripe. And I am much more accurate with a flat top post than with any bead front sight. I have used them since the original owner, Ashley Emerson, started the company that is now X/S Sights. RJ
