Don,

I'm curious too to see what the responses are.

The table shoot rule 5910 refers to both front and rear sights as I read it. It says the front sight has to meet rule 5010 which only talks about the shape of the front sight and then refers to the rear sight not  having any magnification or colorization as I read it.

I've never used the yellow insert before but was thinking about trying it but with it having  the hole in it I wondered too if it would be legal.

If it was solid would it be legal?

Everything is open to interpitation so I hope this generates some discussion.
Need something to do, it's too wet here in Kentucky to get out and shoot.

As I've always heard, idle hands are the devils workshop.

I really like good discussion like this. This gives us an excellent opportunity to clarify rules and interpretation of those rules. But now on to the question at hand. The long and short of the answer no colored filters or magnification, may be used on the front or rear sights. And here is my interpretation.
 
SIGHTS
5010–OPEN FRONT SIGHT–May be a blade, pin-head, post or barleycorn. The
match program will state if it can be shaded or not. A globe-style front sight with
a post blade is considered a open front sight with a sun shade.
 
5020–OPEN REAR SIGHT–All rear open sights must be at least six inches forward
of the breech end of the barrel or as placed by the commerical manufacturer. They
must have a U, V, or rectangular opening, as wide at the top as any part of the notch.
A buckhorn sight is legal provided the horns have a minimum of 1/4-inch opening
at the top. Sun shades may or may not be permitted, as specified in the match program.
Fixed rear open sights may have no mechanical means of adjusting the elevation or windage, and therefore are non-adjustable in nature.
Adjustable rear open sights may have a mechanical means of adjusting elevation and windage.
 
Colored filters magnification sight tubes and other such things appear under the any metallic sight rule
 
5040–ANY METALLIC SIGHT (AMS) FRONT –AMS front sights may be any open front sight with or without shades, or globe peep sights, at the shooter’s option. A colored filter, without magnification, may be attached.
 
5050–ANY METALLIC SIGHT (AMS) REAR–Any sight, open, or peep, including tube sights, not containing a system of lenses. A colored filter, without magnification, may be attached.
 
The Table Shoot is Not an Any Metallic Sight, match.
 
With that being said, we do allow Shaders and a sight such as built by but not limited to Redfield Olympic, so long as emulate a blade, pinhead, post or barleycorn. We have been asked in the past. If the doughnut insert is allowed in since it does not emulate one of the above, it is not allowed.
 
However, what you want to do at your home club is of course your business. We’ve just tried to standardize so that when you go to other clubs you’ll know what to expect.
 
Now that I have either answered your question, or entirely confused everyone. We will see where this goI really like good discussion like this.

Robin,

Your answer to my question was what I had anticipated and I'm on board with your interpitation of the rules as you have explained them in your response.

Thank you.

Off the topic but what would you like to have with the chili at the shoot next Saturday. Crackers, peanut butter, cheese, bread for sandwiches? Soft drinks? Let me know how I can help out.

Carl
