I recently finished my first inline pneumatic. I mounted a crude ring peep type of sight built from scrap PVC and stock acrylic. My sights aren't very effective beyond 35 Ft. Has anyone come up with a decent method for mounting open sights on their barrels. The Proper height, things like windage and elevation adjustments, and best mounting spot on the gun/cannon?

Some guys put scopes on their cannons, others (like me) develope a natural point of aim and get too lazy to make sights. I would like to make a fully adjustible sight like on my air rifle but I have no idea how. What we need is a 'how to' on fully adjustible sights.

Everone is looking for the easy way of doing this Blb. If they take the time to studie the post in the link you provided, it is easy to do! If your talented enough to glue a pneumatic together, you can make the Fall Adjustment Sight work well. If you still can't figure it out, then just glue a BB to the end of your barrell and use it like a shot gun beed!!! Dam all the pro builder's in here and can't aim thier cannon's, (still shakeing my head).
