I Colorado and in the past in Kansas we haveto shoot open sights for the muzzleloader seasons. I've had that same problem also with not enough adjustmwnts in the rear sight to cover short range. Since open sights usually limits your range I first fixed the problem by shooting a much heavier bullet and a medium charge to get the bullet in my sight picture. After we started stretching our open sight shoots out near 200 yards we switched to the E Aruther Brown peep sight and fine front blade to give better precision shooting and more adjustment to cover the lighter, flatter rounds and higher powder charges to stay flat at those distances. Like mentioned thought, there $50 to buy.

I think since most all state are allowing optics these day that there won't be much change in the iron sights on these modern guns. I'll sure pass along the request though.
