Doc Carlson at Upper Missouri Trading Post, Croft, Nebraska,  has that sight.  I bought one from him two years ago.

I agree!  Is it a shooting or a vision competition?  I use a 3/8" disc of black electrical tape with a 1/16" hole in the centre, stuck onto my shooting glasses.  It enables me to see the top edge of my rear sight more clearly, and as a consequence, all my rifles now are shooting high.  That tells me how poorly I was seeing my rear sight prior to the vision enhancer.
Interesting- That I shot low with your sights prior to you using the disk, shows I buried the blade further than you. Guess the very top of all the fuzz is actually the top of the rear sight.

This one, will and does work well for many shooters.

I have modified my standard buckhorn sight to reflect the design above. It is a little cluttered, but enhances the sighting experience:
