Rear peep could be drilled open more , or adapted / modified to an open sight. Just cut it to make a rear sight.

I usually pack a folding gamble. But sometimes no trees around in the desert. Always pack a poncho. No...

But go quiet after sunrise. Some tree rubs are starting. This danged archery is too early. The muzzy hunts...

Public land hunts

Enjoy your hunting season. Hunting private property is a blessing. Majority of huntimg here is public national forest. Season opener was the 25th. I was basically scouting for elk. Lots of big rv camps, lots of atvs. Quads trucks with 3,-4 hunters, cruising the rds. One big meadow had at least 30 rv...
