Truglo TG958G
 

Most of you probably don't have to use open sights like we do in WA so you probably can't help me. These Truglo TG958G sights are the latest rage here in WA, it seems a lot of guys are taking off their williams sights and putting these on. TruGlo Muzzle-Brite Xtreme Universal Muzzleloader Globe Front & Ghost Ring Rear. They are supposed to really help with long shoots where your front bead would normally cover up too much of the target to be acurate. I don't have experience with either sight, so before I drop 50 bucks on a sight I am looking for a little feedback. Thanks, Steve.

I found these reviews:

I think they are pretty neat, I would give them a try if I was not permitted to use a scope.

I think they are pretty cool too but im not a big TruGlow fan....atleast not in their scopes. Many states do allow a 1x scope or AimPoint type sights. I think Traditions sells a 1X that is cheap enough (sub $50) to try without breaking the bank.

Or you can get a Doctors note. :D

I replaced the stock sights on my omega with those Tru-glo's.
They are awesome and I really like them. I have a lot more confidence at longer ranges using the globe sight. I'm sure you will be completely satisfied with them.

I do not care for their scopes either but those sights look interesting. If you can use a 1X the Bushnell Trophy Red/Green Dot's are nice IMO. I have one on my 870 turkey gun but have only fired 5 rounds through the gun with it on there, 3 to sight it in and two 20yd turkey kills.

I agree the globe sight looks very interesting. The MK came with a standard front globe cover and i think it would be great with a good peep in the rear. They convert to a ghost ring pretty easy with a larger aperture.

Red Dots are not the answer. Tried them, took them off. Anyone want to buy some? 1x scope are a great thing for those states... where they are legal. But if your down to peep sights or open sights.. I like that one you showed because of the open top which would help to put light on the sights in low light conditions. Also the accuracy of the peep sights is proven to be much better FOR SOME PEOPLE then the open sight system. I think that would be a good choice. I have a Williams Peep sight on one rifle. They are very accurate to aim. I had a T/C Hunters Peep sight on a rifle and had some problems with it in low light, so I took it off and went to a 1x scope.

Is there a way to use the globe front sight on an Omega?

The Omega doesn't use a dovetail, and it looks the Tru-Glow does.

Maybe you mean, "cheap red dots are not the answer." I really enjoy using iron sights, but if I had to bet my life on being able to hit a 12" pie plate at 200 yards with either iron sights or a quality red dot like an Aimpoint, I wouldn't hesitate to pick the Aimpoint. If they weren't so amazingly fast, accurate and durable, our military would not rely on them so heavily. Problem is that an Aimpoint will set you back around $500.

I have and prefer a peep rear with globe front with interchangeable inserts. Not much on fiber optics. Except on my bow of course.
