Shawn, if you wouldn't mind explaining, why do you prefer the sights on the bbl vs a receiver sight?

On an 18" bbl, sight radius is little more than handgun length. Moving the rear back to the receiver almost doubles the distance, aiding accuracy a lot and speed a bit,IMO.

Here in Md, I've been using a peep for deer for decades,and the results have been positive.
