home made peep

[glb]

was siting around thinking about how hard it is to see with the sights that come with the big boy. so got out my v shaped file and did a lot of filing to make a large groove. then I turned it over locked it in place and ran to the range. what I found is that it is of course not a round hole but works in my opinion very well. The face that I am just too lazy and too cheep to actually buy a real peep here are the results of my day at the range

Nice shooting!

I agree, that is some excellent work with the homemade peep.

Not cheap at all with your DIY peep. I'd say resourceful, especially after seeing your great POI target results.
Would like a peek at your peep in some pics.

Bet the Cowboys in their day did the same.
Good job and good shooting.

Nice job based on those targets! Congrats. Not to be a " Peeping Tom " but I'd like to see your work also!

Wow, that looks terrific. Yes, please show us a pic of what you did!

Great work!

well this took a while started with a $2000.00 lens and ended up with a kit lens go figure. the sight is actually green but it was a little blurry so I had to darken it so you can see it. as you can see for my first attempt it is not a pretty thing but it works well. have a couple of other plans to try but not going to change any thing till after my pig hunt

Very ingenious! I'm guessing the challenge for me (and maybe some other "more seasoned" members) is that is sits out in the dovetail on the barrel, yes?

Still, if it works for you (which it clearly does!), that's some mighty clever design work. Congrats!

Key words, ( working for you )...that's what matters!! Nice job!
