Hey guys,
A quick update on the See-All sight...
I took out the Disc Elite to the range this weekend with a friend who is teaching me all the ins and outs of BP/Muzzleloaders and we fired off about 10-12 shots from the Elite with the See-All sight mounted to the front-most scope mount (a Leopold Weaver-style) base). (mounted it on the rear scope base it interfered with the operation of the bolt).
My general impression is that it is GREAT for targets up to about 50 yards away, but trying to line up the 100 yard target was very difficult because the sight obscures anything under the target and the little triangle is simply too big to be accurate at that distance. At 50 yards I was shooting a sub-1" group, and this was toward the end of the day when my shoulder was getting very tired. (250 gr. Barnes TSX flat nose all copper bullets, Crush Rib Sabot, and 110 gr of BH209. However, trying to shoot a deer at 100+ yards would be very difficult; there is simply a mis-match between the size of the sight and the size of the target. Compared to the modified M1a aperture sight on my friend's Knight there was no contest, and made me realize very quickly that the See-All is not the solution I am looking for to hunt deer.
That being said, the ability to easily focus on the target with both eyes open and then line up the very bright triangle on the sight was very fast and easy. even in the drizzly low-light morning hours when we started. I'll probably end up putting it on a pistol or shotgun, as I think it would be great for those applications.
So, I'm back to the hunt for a good front/rear sight combo that I can use on the Disc Elite. I may post a new thread that is specific to my needs rather than clutter up this one. But I wanted to follow up in case anyone was curious about the See-All.
