Message: <blockquote data-quote="ez bake" data-source="post: 919931" data-attributes="member: 229">I don't know, but maybe this is it (MoBoost's point is pretty good as well), but I have had a lot of improvement in my iron-sight shooting using orange clay pigeons at 100yds when focusing on the target - I honestly thought I was doing it wrong by focusing on the front sight post - unless I was actually just not focusing on a single point but on a blurred area that happen to be orange out at 100yds.I've gotten a lot better at using the mil-dot reticule on my .308, but I've felt a lot lately like I needed to learn the basics of Irons and have been doing some work with the AR with the optic turned off to make myself learn to use the Irons correctly - I figured out that when using the optic (2 MOA dot) with the Irons, I wasn't even really using the Irons - I'd line the dot up at the top of the front iron, but I got really lazy about not even caring about the rear site or proper line-up.I've been forcing myself to use the Irons "properly" lately by focusing on the target (which was apparently not proper).  Now I'm wondering if I focus on the front iron, maybe I'll actually see a point on the target instead of just a blurry orange blob out there since I've spent so much time focusing on a point in the center of it.I'm definitely going to apply what I've learned here and see how much of a difference it makes (or how much I've handicapped myself by doing it incorrectly).I love threads like this where everyone comes together with knowledge and no one steps on anyone's toes.Thanks for all the info.</blockquote>
