Not to throw stones at ingenuity, but why not just drill a hole? Most of the commercial peeps are round. Drilling a hole is much easier than filing a V.

That is some real nice shooting with your makeshift peep sight. Good luck on your pig hunt.

Maybe. But suspect filing on the edge of small insert was easier than trying to drill a hole in it.

the reason for the v was I was originally making the slot larger so I just used the small v shaped file. then I got the idea to turn it over and make a peep out of it since the v was there I just stayed with that. Now on my 22 mag I did make it round and it does work even better then the v. I am currently trying to get a replacement piece for my 357 so I can start over with roung
