JimSprouse Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I have macular degeneration which is worse in my right eye. To best describe my vision is to say I see a bit of a smudge right in the middle of my central vision. My left eye still is in pretty good shape so I can aim my revolvers, which I shoot with my right hand, with my left eye. Long guns are a different story. I am trying to shoot them on my left shoulder but I am far from perfecting that skill. Shooting the shotgun at fairly big targets that are close by can b e done off my right shoulder with both eyes open. I just received the 1866 rifle and the front sight is very slim. I can see it barely and, again, it works ok for hitting big targets at close range. But, I think if I had a very exaggerated front sight I could shoot with greater accuracy. I am open to suggestions as to who, what and where to get such sights. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 First you need to post a CLEAR photo of what your present front sight looks like. What can be done depends on what you are starting with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacherman Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Hi, I really like the Slix bead, a brass replacement for the Marbles' brass bead. You pull the stock one out and just replace it. It has to have the 3/32" stub though. I like the .175" best. .090 seems too big. https://www.slixprings.com/proddetail.php?prod=SliX-Bead-Rifle-Sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
