I really like peep sights. I have them on several deer rifles and my two air rifles. As far as deer go they are not a difficult target at the ranges I hunt, usually 100 yards or less. My Air rifles, one an FWB 300s has the original match sight and is geared towards the 10 meter bull. I sometimes use a little bigger insert in the front sight so I can keep the bull in the ring so I understand the correlation between insert and bullseye size. The other day I was getting bored with the same target, not that it wasn’t a challenge, I’ll never master them, but I wanted a change. I got a deck of cards and tried to hit the symbols on them with the circular aperture and it didn’t work out so well. Haven’t tried a post but I really couldn’t see them too well so how can you hit what you can’t see? I’d like to be able to shoot flies and I know this rifle will do it too. Do I change the rear aperture to something smaller perhaps or will I have to scope it to accomplish this. Please educate me on these sights and what I can accomplish with them. By the way, I’m 69 and wear progressive bifocals. Thank you.

I have one on a revolver and it works well. But I want to take aperture sights as far as I can

In addition to a couple aperature sights, I have tritium SeeAll sights on a few of my guns. Unlike an aperature or open sight, they don't require a front post.
They're a great alternative to scopes if you want to try something different and are way easier to use visually than iron sights of any kind.

I would suggest the smallest dot you can get for a red dot 2MOA and under. As for peep sights I use a Williams with aperture and can hit 1-inch spinners out to 30 yards fairly well. I have learned to locate the targets inside the front aperture depending on distance and wind, the farther away the target the lower in the front ring. I don't think it will ever be as precise as a scope but I can pop the bottom of a soda can at 50 yards fairly regularly

Do you have the target knobs on your Williams...? I read somewhere there were different size appatures that would thread into the williams..? I've been kicking the idea around putting a peep on my HW 30.

I have the Williams target adjustable sight on my Beeman R7, and you can get different size apertures for it.
