|
|
| I am an avid bow hunter and have purchased a taurus raging bull to carry during firearm season for deer. I have steel sights on it now but feel they will not be good during low light conditions. I have thought about a red dot scope but am afraid it is going to make it to big and bulky. I am looking for suggestions. Scope or other sight options? |

| If you don't want the bulk of a scope, I would look at HiViz or TruGlo sights. They use fiber optic technology to make sights more visible in low light. |

| If the sights can't be removed then try painting the front sight, and dotting the sides of the rear sight a different color if possible. Red and white works great, but I think you might find some flouresent paint that may work better. If the sights can be removed, then deffinately get the fiber optic sights. They are amazing. |

One welcome to the forum. I moved this out of the NE thread to the hand gun thread thinking you might get a little more attention? |

| rrbriss -- I mounted an Ultradot 30 on my Super Redhawk and it weighs only a hair over 4 ounces. It does make it a bit bulkier, but I love it. A small red dot is great for hunting IMHO. |
