Open sights and my eyes are not good company. The sights look nice though. I'm sure you'll do this, but I'd use plug screws to fill the open holes before they get junk in them.
What kind of distances are you thinking of hunting with it and the open sights?
LOL....the gun looks naked without a scope.
Many thanks, my longest shot on a deer was at about 125 yards. Scoped 12 gauge slug gun. Open field. Beyond that, every other has been inside of 50 yards.I keep all of my pistol shots inside of the 50 yards sight in. Just me, but I'm sure it would lay a big deer down at 100 or more. Of the four deer I've taken with my Optima pistol the longest shot was 23 yards. The closest was about 13.
Good luck with the haired creatures deermanok.
deermanok, very interesting thread. You might find out that simple setup is the ticket. I have enjoyed following your project. Although i have not bit the bullet yet I have been mulling it over in my mind the benefit of owning one of these. Good shooting and good luck!Got the new sights today for the Optima pistol. I'll see how it works out. View attachment 9572
Thank you for kind words. Muzzle Loaders.com currently has them on sale for $ 298.00 I think was the price.deermanok, very interesting thread. You might find out that simple setup is the ticket.

Try the PA conicals, they might surprise you with their accuracy.Sounds like it was a beauty for sure. The one I have is a 50. I've only ever put a patched round ball in it. I wonder if it will handle a PA conical?
