Thank you, Kurt, much appreciated!

You're right - you have to spend a lot of time shooting to figure out any sight. I think I have a pretty good handle on iron barrel sights, at least as well as I can see them now, but I'm always looking to learn and have always wondered what tidbits Mr. Bagwell could have offered.

Quite a few years ago I was trying to come up with the best rear barrel sight for use in the woods. Most of our shots here are 150 yards or less, but in less-than-full daylight due to the tree cover. Tang peep sights are great for distance, but they do require decent light to work best. I ran across some pictures of the Freund More-Light sight, and spent quite a bit of time adapting the Sharps rear buckhorn sight into a "More-Light" sight.

Here's a thread I stared on the Shiloh board about my results: https://shilohrifle.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=114667#p114667

Unfortunately, the photos in that thread were lost in a long-ago web-based photo hosting closure, and the sight was loaned to a "friend" to try out, and it was never returned. I appear not to have saved any of the original photos (I've spent several hours today looking). This thread made me think about making another one, but like many folks that fool with these rifles, my eyesight is not as good as it used to be. So it's probably of use to me only as knowledge gained, but I'm always looking to learn something from folks who are willing to share. I'm hoping to pass this all on to interested grandkids as soon as they are able to absorb all this stuff.

Thank you again, take care,
Regan
