Anyone shooting peeps

Infrequently but yes, I do. I have a couple of Winchester 52's with peep sights, along with peeps for my Anschutz. I've run them out to 100 yards using the NRA A-25 target. It's a good change of pace.
My Annie 2018 with Warner rear and Rightsite front. And of course a can threaded on the end of the bloop tube. Not ISSF legal, but it sure makes people heads turn when an already quiet gun is near silent.
Yup, let's see..... win 52-D, Ural-2, Vostok CM-2, two H&R mod 12, BSA Martini Int., and a Schultz&Larsen . All of these are used at our long-range rimfire matches. (25 yards to 197 yards in 12 1/2 yard increments) I made a special set of targets at each distance so they can compete directly against the scoped guys at the matches. They are 4 moa in size which sounds big but they had to be big enough to see but the groups are clustered nicely in the middle.
Amazing how well they shoot usually rivaling groups on the plates the scoped guns shoot. If you can see it, you can hit it with peeps. Quite a few of my targets are smaller than can be seen looking thru peeps and it put the metallic sight shooters at a disadvantage, that is the reason for their own targets.
Short video showing them hanging off my plate racks. They start off smaller than the regular targets then kinda even out but are a tad larger at the end. The peep target has to be hit the same number of times that the scoped rack has targets. The smaller close up targets really get grayed out before you move on. 10 shots on the 50 yard target really gets tough near the end of your string. Also, think about the wind hold in switching winds at those distances. Yes, there has been a few perfect peep sight scores shot.

And they will shoot even farther. Get out and stretch the limits. Bet you'll surprise yourself.
