[QUOTE="CentralPaHunter, post: 2389234, member: 120797"] When I was starting out I had a Marlin with see-through rings slip and take a hit, didn't think anything of it and then of course saw and emptied on the biggest buck I've ever seen to this day, all misses. Was shooting low a mile. Now, if a gun or crossbow gets knocked, I always carry a spare to swap to and I consider it off until proven otherwise. If it happens in the field I try to verify by iron sights if I have them, otherwise go away from my intended spot a bit and shoot a test shot at a tree to verify. An animal isn't the target to use to find out... I would advise adding ghoat-ring sights to any build as backup if you can. Otherwise use rings you can remove without tools and carry a backup sighted-in optic in a well padded, hardshell case. I guarantee the ghost-ring setup will be less weight. [/QUOTE]
