You're sitting in a blind over a staked out goat in the dark of the night when the tiger comes along. With only the light of the moon to find your front sight you flip up the Moon Sight. The tiger is getting close, better hurry.
That was a tongue in cheek response I'm sure, and was true when folks hunted Tigers in INDIA. The name "MOON SIGHT" actually refers to the large white bead that is flipped up when the light begins to fade, or when going into tight bush with a wounded animal where the large white sight doesn't disappear against a dark colored animal like the Cape Buffalo or the dark bush. The white in most of those sights were made from Warthog tusk which doesn't yellow over time!
