[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 920258, member: 6064"] Things I have noticed over the years: Most folks don't shoot irons very well. It is easy to shoot irons well if you do it right and expend a few 100 rounds a month to start, after you get a good grounding in Irons it doesn't take too much ammo to stay good. I have notice a fairly good impact change when shooting through a Red dot device that is turned off as the light bends from the refractory lens that lets you see the red dot. Not good for Irons! If you zero them trough the "glass" you need to use them trough the glass and vis versa! Most folks don't give irons a long enough chance and quit on them way before they will ever get good. Sight radius is your best friend. If your front sight looks too big at 150 it IS too big. Thin it down! Run a 300 yard zero. for both a .223 or .308 Hitting a 10" steel target at 500 yds isn't that hard if you have a good grounding in basic iron sight shooting. IF YOU DON'T FOCUS ON YOUR FRONT SIGHT YOU WILL NEVER BE GOOD WITH IRONS. There is a huge difference between "open sights" ( a-la AKs, Express sights, Slug sights found on 1100 slug guns...etc.) and Aperature sights ( anything with a "peep rear sight" a-la M-14 AR-15 etc.) Open sights blow! Aperature sights can and will shoot the potential of the rifle.; Disclaimer.....These shooting glasses aren't this thick for safety! You don't need good eye sight to be good with iron sights.
