A Bright Front Sight At Dusk
 

That front sight can be mighty hard to see in the wee hours of the morning, or in the late evening, even when you can see a deer clearly. That's especially true with a peep sight. And fiber optic sights don't work for my eyes. But this does, and very very well.

I paint the front sight with White-Out correction fluid. It scratches off easily with a fingernail when I want it gone.

Then I secure a fishing bobber light to the barrel a few inches behind the sight with black electrical tape. It's easily attached and removed.





This is what it looks like with the light turned on.



The light and tape are stored on a piece of scrap plastic and go in my pocket when not needed on the gun.

Now that is inovation...........:rock:

Good idea, and I could use it, but it's not legal in Colorado. :(

Hey! I LIKE that! It's gonna get tried Semi, bet on that.

Sweet site setup Semi! Have to see what local regs are on that one.

Good idea. How long do the lights work in case a person would forget to turn it off.

Don't really know 32HRmag. I've never left it on for more than about 30-45 minutes at a time. It's almost impossible to forget to turn it off because I put it on the barrel in the early morning, then take it off when the light gets good and put it on the plastic tab. Then put it on the barrel again in the late evening and take it off at the end of the hunt.

The one I have is still going strong after two years of intermittent use.

OK. Thanks for getting back on that. I found some that say they are good all night fishing. So for intermittent use it should last at least 4 or five years if the batteries are good quality.
I was reminded of my red dot sight is why I asked the question. That darn thing has been left on more than one time.lol
