Today among the gun industry’s most highly sought-after commendations, the Golden Bullseye Awards were created to publicly acknowledge recent firearm and shooting product introductions that offered our readers exceptional innovation, performance and value. And American Rifleman is pleased to announce the 2025 Accessory Of The Year Award goes to the Wyoming Sight Drifter.
“The Golden Bullseye Awards are our way of honoring those companies that introduced products of remarkable utility, innovation and simple excellence to shooters and hunters during the past year,“ said Mike Sanford, deputy executive director of NRA Media. “We congratulate the winners, and we are confident that shooters and hunters will receive this year‘s winning products with enthusiasm.”
2025 Accessory Of The Year: Wyoming Sight Drifter
The title for our coverage of a Product in the magazine’s Reports section, “Wyoming Sight Drifter” initially conjures images of cowboy Westerns, but it’s actually an ingenious, ink-pen-size device designed to help the average tinkerer adjust the dovetailed iron sights on most any firearm. Whereas such efforts have typically involved expensive, complicated fixtures or clumsy efforts with hammer and punch, the Wyoming Sight Drifter consists of only an extension spring attached to steel rod sections with finger grooves and end pieces of nylon and brass.
What’s more, it’s astonishingly easy to use: Just hold either end against the side of the sight and pull up on the other end to momentarily extend the spring, then let go so that the steel rods collide, transferring the stored kinetic energy directly to the sight and drifting it into position.
The degree of force can be controlled by how far the spring is stretched, and the nylon and brass are non-marring—especially important when it comes to historic collectibles. Given its ingenious design, compact size and remarkable price of $39, we felt compelled to name the Wyoming Sight Drifter our Accessory Of The Year.
