Yeah, that's an option, and I may do it that way just for the "cool look" factor.

I don't expect to ever use the buckhorns for sighting, nor do I expect to shoot anything way out yonder with a little .45 ball.

I find I do better using the same sight picture for all shots (i.e. the top of the front sight aligned with the top of the rear sight) and adjust my hold on the target animal to place the shot where I want it.

I'm getting an average of 1,900 fps with a 75 grain load of GOEX FFFg. With the zero set at 75 yards it shoots only about 3.5 inches low at 100. Holding about an inch and a half below a squirrel's or rabbit's eye at 50 yards should put it in the center of its head.

I doubt I'll ever hunt deer with this .45 and round balls. If I ever do it will be with a 50 yard limit.
