Default RE: Peep sight for my Encore?

The kind of sights is really a personal preference. I have rifles with old iron sights, fiber optic sights, and peep sights. My favorite has to be the fiber optic sights.

Iron sights can be hard to pick up in dark areas, shadows, or during the late hours of the afternoon especially in a forest. The same holds true for the Peep sight. People always tell you to take the center peep out and shoot through the ghost ring. I have done that and it works fine, but I would not shoot long distances with just the ghost ring.

The fiber optic sights on my better rifles are so easy to pick up and spot that I just feel for my own personal use are the better choice for me. If you have an oppertunity to look through or at some of the different sights in the different lighting conditions I think the choice would be easy to make.
