Today I decided to try some target practice at 10 meters using the open sights in stead of the scope.I have discovered when using the open sights on my rifle that I cannot focus on them and the target at the same time.I have pretty bad astimatisim and wear gradient 'bi focals'.Is this a common problem? Am I relegated to always using scopes or dots?Would painting the foward sight white help?Thanks in advance
By 'peep sights' are you referring to an actual replacement sight, or the things you stick on your safety glasses?
Looks like the NP2 has a rail. Williams makes a peep that you mount on a rail.I use this same sight on a rifle with a scope rail.

I have to say that even a peep sight is not good for me. I have bifocals and the rear aperture is all fuzzy and picking up a target quickly is very difficult. I had to go completely with scopes.

I had to go completely with scopes.Hi Scott,The rear aperture is supposed to be fuzzy, the human eye isn't capable of focusing on objects that close. If target acquisition is dificult, it probably means that the hole on your peep sight is too small. Either drill it out or obtain another with a larger hole. Merit and some other companies make peep apertures that are adjustable.Under very low light conditions the peep aperture may be removed completely, but a hole that large probably won't sharpen the image.
