Ordered one of those for my kids Wolf V2 yesterday. Should have it on there by the end of the week.

I was thinking of moving from crosshairs to a single post... really hard to see crosshairs at low light. Thinking for the other close shots the insert type won't matter much

I ordered the fiber insert and plan on letting kiddo decide what she likes the best.

I love the finest crosshair one that comes in the Lee Shaver insert kit. My newest sight set from Bad to the Bone has wrapped fiber optic, which is nice in low light but the trade off is it’s bulkier at long range.

Put the Williams sight on my kid's muzzleloader today. Took it outside and quickly realized that I couldn't see the front sight......I had her come out to see what she thought, and she said "What do you mean it's not clear? It looks awesome!"
I ended up putting in the fine crosshair and the fiber optic stacked because that's what she liked the best.
I couldn't even see the crosshairs. I'm going to have to go to the eye doctor.... again. I have to see what is going on to get the gun sighted in at least. My eyes are getting so crappy as I age.
I'm going to go sob by myself now. lol
Sweet little setup though.
PS: The screw(s) that came with the sight were all too long by ~.030 and I had to make a trip to the grinder.....

Happens to the best of us. Sounds like you need an adjustable aperture to bring the front sight into focus (like I do).

Admittedly, I know very little about peep sights. Is that legal to use in Colorado?
I just need something to sight in the gun. My daughter can see the sights fine.

Absolutely. An adjustable aperture just allows you to enlarge or (usually) reduce the size hole you’re looking through so that the eye can focus on the front sight. It’s an aperture/depth of field optical phenomenon.

Focus on the front sight, crystal clear... pull the trigger slowly to the rear. Ding! Hit! The above mantra is baked into many a seasoned rifleman's mind. If it isn't baked into your own mind, perhaps you entered the world of the AR15 in the post iron sights era. Hey, it's not a bad thing,

Wow. Thanks for posting that! I’m going to order one of those little buggers and throw it on there.
