The sights on my flinter are fiber optic and the front bead is pretty big, thus giving me a blind spot of fairly good size at 100 yards. Your post is probably prompted by my recent comments here concerning this. I was never in the military so I am not so privledged with sound shooting training as some of you guys are. I appreciate your insight. I sighted the gun in at 50 yards and the bead was no problem there, so I centered it in the bull. That's some real good advice which I will usethe hell out offrom now on

I don’t have any V shaped rear sights, but I do have a U. I’d put the bead with the bottom of the bead just touching the inside edges of the V. You should still be able to see the whole bead.
On my U rear, the bead sets in the U with ½ of the bead in the U and the top half out above the U. There is an equal sliver of air space around the bottom of the bead as it sets in the U. The same thing might happen with your V. The bead might not fit all the way into the V, but be divided at the top with the bottom just barely not touching the V.
The bullet will hit behind the bead. Play with it and see what makes sense to you. At the proper distance for your rifle, try a couple 3 shot groups and see where it’s hitting. If it doesn’t make sense, adjust it until it does.
See post above about the snowman style of aiming. Your gun might be sighted in with this style. I personally don’t like it, but have shot a rifle sighted this way. It’s the way my buddy learned to shoot and he’s a good shot.
Sight the way it makes sense to you. You’ll be the one doing the shooting. Good Hunting.

my peep sights on my high poweredrifles are real small.you can aim at deer or target and not cover it with front sight. i was out todayhunting and doe walked out. i dont shoot doe now do to lack of deer here in pa. on state forestlands. so, i got to practice with sight on this deer. deer was about 60 yards away. i put the v-peep sight from RMC on deer. the front sight is real small too for a muzzleloader sight. guess what, that front sight almost covered over half of the deer. if that deer was at 100 yards or more, i think front sight would have covered deer mostly. so,i then used the sight over 6 o clock at cayugag said, and i could see a lot more of the deer. when shooting target i can see bullseye after 50 yards if i DONTcover the point of aim. when i use 6 o clock, i can see target real good out to 100 yards. we cant use scopes here in pa. in late season and most of shots from hunting here in late season are between 60 yards to 125 yards, i feel. take care.
