I put XS Ghost ring sights  on my T/C pro hunter muzzlerloading shotgun. Being a person that wears glasses and has bifocals, I sometimes would be caught with my glasses slide down on my nose and would be caught between my bifocals and my regular lenses making it hard to line up. These Ghost rings fixed that.  A larger ring in the back  And tall post out front makes it very easy to get on target fast.  even though there was lots of adjustment at ring in back  i had to get a little taller post for out front.   Works great , wouldn't use any other sight now.  For me it just worked better with my glasses.

I don't like to rely on anything with batteries on my gun, crossbow or compound. I use a regular scope on all but the compound and just one pin on it.

Encore has a nice set of factory sights(fiber optic-two color).
Mossberg got a Burris FastfireII after factory sight broke for second time.
I am really liking the fastfire.
Burris claims 20,000 hours for a battery at two hours per setup you get 10,000 setups.
At 4 setups a day you get 2500 hunting days, 50 days per season you get 50 years.
So I will need to change my battery when I am 92 but I will probably do it before then.

Well, I have been using aftermarket sights (Tru-glo Magnum Gobble Dot) but will be giving a red dot (Burris Speed Bead) a try this season.

Mueller Quick Shot. Unlimited field of view and fast target acquisition. Been shooting these sites for several years without any problems. I have 3 of them on a 935, a 870 3" 12 gauge, and a 870 3" 20 gauge. I hunt ducks, doves, turkeys and squirrels with them.

Limbsaver Dead Center adjustable combo for me. These sights ride on my turkey and duck guns, and give amazing light in all conditions.

Bushnell HoloSight (they were made by EOTech). Unfortunately, Bushnell no longer services them and EOtech is limited to what they can do if replacement parts are needed.

Although I had looked into the Mueller QUick Shot and Burris FF2 quite a bit I went with a Nikon Turkey Pro BTR.  I love it so far but we'll see how it goes through turkey season.
