[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4331929, member: 46104"] I really don't know what is going on with sights and philosophy/theory today, except that it seems rather lowbrow when I constantly read comments/reviews/complaints that the shooter was having trouble aiming because the dots were hard to see, and them shooting at 7yds. Hard to imagine them for a shooting companion trying to tag shotgun hulls or clays fragments on the 50yd berm or knocking over drink bottles at 50 and 100yds. The sight picture I have always used is to have bullets hitting right at top of sight, with bullet holes ideally half hidden by front sight...ideally...theoretically... which is as far as I ever deal with theory, my standard to do whatever it takes to hit the target, large or small, near or far, which sometimes involves gun/ammo combinations of front sight a bit high or low or left or right, practice with the gun/ammo combo being primary to develop consistant picture (and hold and squeeze and release), consistancy the key to accuracy whether going slow or fast. Will also add that constant practice leading to consistancy in everything leads also to gun pretty much aimed for "combat" shooting, front sight already THERE and any "aiming" only a slightest refinement.
