Does anyone use a rear peep sight? I know they help accuracy wise just haven't seen much about them? Who makes the best?

These are just close estimates - The Williams peep runs about $80. The front ramp $20 and the Fire Sight Bead $17. the hood seems like it was $10 - not all real cheap but for me the added confidence was worth it. It really gives you the illusion of shooting through a 1X scope.I shoot a rear peep and have better accuracy with them.
Sabotloader, that is a great looking set up.
questions:
What did it cost you?
Peep sight is 1/4 min clicks just like a scope at 100 yards - got that one figured out!Is it hard to adjust?
That is what the hood is for - it does protect the front bead... but as the hood comes from Williams it can get caught in/on the brush and pulled off. So what I do is squeeze the open of the hood down a little bit so it slides on the ramp much tighter. Then I drop some red loc-tite in the ramp tracks slide the hood in let it dry and hope that I do not need to take it off again because it is not going to be easy. It can be done but it is not easy...Is that front target sight durable enough for backcountry hunting?

Did you look at the Lyman peep? I like the looks of the system
Do you guys have any issue using peeps in low light situations? I'm totally decided on switching to a peep, that has been my only question.
The basic idea has ben used on rifles and bows for hunting conditions many many years. With the Williams sight you can buy larger diameter apertures if you want more light.

Yes, I do... but I use a 0.091 aperture for hunting and in the low light situations I remove the aperture and use the sight as Ghost Ring sight. Then when the light is adequate I install the aperture again.[/QUOTE
Sound logic, thanks for the info!
I have a friend that just burned a bunch of points on a CO muzzy Muley tag. He is a Superior long range muzzle loading competition shooter as well as a 90% elk slayer OTC Archery guy (tagged 18 out of 20 years). He was talking about shooting distances the other day and gave me the impression that at 300 yards he was quite confident and further wasn't out of the question.
His biggest concern was preparing at 1200 feet elevation and hunting at 10K. I think he is ridiculous, but I KNOW he is not full of shit.
What is a reasonable distance to keep a 12" group with a peepsight?
