Like I always said, that long range environment is total different from what I hunt. Although I will admit that if I hunt southern Wisconsin there are some huge cornfields. And when I hunted them I used a 7mm mag.
Now I understand your challenge with open sights in that country. For me, I would have to be 100 yards or closer. But I have seen some of the distances you shoot. All I can say is ... good luck, shoot true.

I decided to hunt in the afternoon so for the morning I decided to try the XS Peep sight and see how it compared to the SeeAll.
I put the XS on my fast twist knight
Loaded some tubes of Blackhorn and took a dozen 260gr Dead centers to sight the XS in with
The XS fit better on the knight than the SeeAll .
I sighted in at 25 then moved to 50 and finally 100
Groups were good for me and open sights . About 3" at a 100 yards
I was shooting 84gr by weight (120 by volume)
The knight has a Lehigh breech plug and ignition was instantaneous at -6 temperature. It was 9 below when I got stuff together but I figured I would wait for it to warm up
I sighted in about 2 1/2 inches high at 100 which should give me a 160 zero and a PBR of 180 to 190.
Velocity should be around 2035
After that I decided to eat and go back hunting
This time I picked a spot further north where they come across a pasture into the sunflowers before heading to the millet .
There are some dips and little hills and I think I can catch one coming over the hill . I will let you know .i am sitting here now watching and waiting

I cannot think of a better item to have in your day pack to have in the event of a scope failure in the fIeld. Other than a second scope zeroed in With detachable rings that is or dedicated iron sights as a back up.
