My days of being very accurate with regular open sights are long gone, but if I use a good peep sightI canshoot some pretty good targets at 100 yds.
A green or yellow fiber optic bead on the front sight will show up brighter later in the eveningthan a red one will. While a small rear aperture may be OK for target shooting a 3/32 to 1/8 makesa better sight picture for hunting. Very early morning and late evening I just unscrew the aperture, put it in my pocket and use the threaded hole as a ghost ring.
Rattus recommended pie plates for target practice and once I tried them thats all I use for peep sights now. Paint a box black and slap a pie plate on it and get an excellent sight picture at 100 yds.

I've shot a lot of pie plates.. I also tape a bright colored index card to boxes. I get the bright colored 3"x5" index cards at Wal Mart. It gives me something to aim for...
I've seen some of your targets you've done with the peep sights.. very impressive..
