You ever shot at anything in the dark that didn't involve IDPA rules?
I have never used a fiber optic sight on an AR, but I do have these.

In low light they do work very well. That being said, they are my back up irons to an optic so I do not use them all that often.
... Have you? Can you elaborate?
Coyote. raccoon, fox count?
I didn't mean specifically for an AR, those were just the links I happened to come up with at the moment. I am actually interested in the fiber for a 10-22 with the peep sights, for dawn and dusk hunting. How much light do the fiber optics pick up on a full moon night like tonight? I prefer to not use batteries in a gun if I can help it.

It comes down to knowing your system, its strengths and weakness and how to use it well in all conditions.
Sorry, dude. Didn't mean to besmirch your reputation as a gunfighter by asking about IDPA when you're involved in USPSA. I realize that USPSA is where IDPA folks fear to tread because they're not hardcore run and gun shooters. Still doesn't negate the fact that you're essentially plagiarizing stuff written in American Hangunner and SWAT Magazine when it comes to turning your light off so you can utilize your night sights.
Ok. My bad. You read it on the internet and not in the magazines.
I'll punch cardboard with you any day you want. Your carry gun, OWB / IWB holster is fine. 2 mags on the belt. No race gun shit. I run a G17 most days, but if you want to change it up to whatever you carry, I'll go get one.
Loser has to go get a Rifleman patch at one of those 25 yard Appleseed shoots with a handgun in 9mm or greater, or maybe donate $100 to the American Cancer Society or something.
It'll be fun. Raise a lot of awareness for the forum, and we'll have some good laughs.

Comm2a is a great org. We could make it the " First Annual Great Comm2a Challenge" provided Comm2a approves of it. We can sell tickets or something.
Want to stick with just handguns? Or should we throw in carbines, too?
Maybe get some of the match people to set up a course?
I was pretty disappointed that BA2 didn't accept the Appleseed challenge a couple of years ago, too.
My concern here is two-fold.
First, is there that much interest in a TheRoland v. Timber grudge match? Would people actually want to see that, or would this just be the basis for a bigger match?
!
How about setting aside an hour at each NES green shoot to settle various NES grudges/challenges. Keep it fun, losers proceeds go to worthy cause and all that.
Who knows maybe Timber and The Roland will be besties after all this.
He seems to be a stand-up guy.
I run black on black sights.
I don't buy all the marketing BS being thrown at us about fancy sights. Find me a scientific study that shows that a F.O. sight is faster to adquire than a black one. Find me another one that shows that one is to shoot more accurately using a FO sight? just as accurately? Right, there aren't any...

I would never shoot anything I can't positively identify, hence no night sights for me.
Like Jose, all my Glocks have a set of Ken Defoor sights.
A FO sight may very well be faster to acquire - unfortunately there is no scientific way to account for differences in shooter skill/experience plus the biologic factors.
You'd only compare shooters of similar measured ability, and that effect drops out of the equation.
