The New Williams Western Precision Muzzleloading Sight
The Williams Western Precision Muzzleloading Sight is the ultimate sight setup for western hunters in states that do not allow scopes on muzzleloaders. The Precision Muzzleloading Sight set includes a Williams WGRS rear peep sight, with a new front globe sight. While globe sights are nothing new to muzzleloading, this sight is a new model that attaches directly to the barrel of modern inline muzzleloaders, without using any dovetail mounts or additional bases. The Williams Globe Front Sight attaches with one screw, directly to the barrel.
With California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington all requiring muzzleloading hunters to use open sights, this new sight set is the perfect solution for those hunters looking to stretch their range. There are several different reticles included in this pack, with the one that we like the most being a crosshair with an additional sub-tension line below, which gives you a reference point for additional yardages. There are also reticles included for a standard crosshair and several other popular globe sight reticles, but the new BDC-style reticle is the one we anticipate most hunters using.
The bullet drop compensating reticle was designed with a 250-grain bullet and 110 grains of Blackhorn 209 powder. This load has been a standard load for us in the CVA Accura muzzleloaders, as well as the Traditions Vortek and Thompson Center Triumph muzzleloaders. With this load and the Western Precision Sight set, we recommend zeroing at 100 yards with the main crosshair. This should put the next sub-tension dead-on at 175 yards, and the thick part of the crosshair at 200 yards. Because this may vary from gun to gun, we recommend testing these hold points for your muzzleloader, altitude, and load. We also believe there will be an advantage in sighting in at 50 yards with the main crosshair in certain applications.
