I like iron sights but now prefer my lower power scopes for hunting. The extra light that they gather helps me a lot.
We were out to the range on friday and it was interesting using the different irons. From 100 to 300 yards I could use the old enfield ladder and blade not bad. But I when tried out peep and globe , even with the aperture set to max, I could not see the plate gong clearly enough past 200. Using the old buckhorn style I was good to about 100 yards and then the front blade covered too much of the target for me . I have a #1 with a vernier on the back and a blade up front and it was good all the way to 300.
The number of "hits" improved once I switched to the scopes.
Down in the bush, a good set of fast point peeps really make the rifle lighter but not good for me when hunting. Maybe I need laser eye surgery to improve my shooting?? or just more practise
