Generally foresights are hooded or at least have guards on either sides hence the question.....

with a blade foresight like this one is workable.....

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

A peep + post works quite well and is in fact a battle tested design, think M1 Garand & M1 Carbine to name just two.

Re: Blade foresight and peep rearsight.....
armed forces do use such a set up on some of their rifles.....
i did have a friend who used peep sights and blade fore sight on his hunting rifle very effectively.....but, and this is in his words and i am not vouching for it...
...at short ranges, on smaller targets he had dificulty getting a clear sight .." what range and size of target i never asked.

Throw me to the wolves....I will return leading the pack.

Setup both sights and did a quick test and the results are encouraging. Unfortunately I was constrained to use a very short range of seven metres.

Re: Blade foresight and peep rearsight.....
I really like this set up and had ordered such a peep for the rear. But then I had problems with my eyes and couldn't use it. But I remember shooting well with this combo earlier. What are you planning?
To ride, to speak up, to shoot straight.

They say peep sights are better for people who do not have a good eye sight. I know mine are not what they used to be. So going peep on the air rifle.......

I've had a few goes, albeit at 15m (so far), and find it much easier to use than the old blade and notch

The peepsight is a Beeman, the stock tyrolean
