[QUOTE="lasher, post: 2855021, member: 40522"] my grandfather and uncle were both very good shots, they taught me when i was young to shoot reasonably well, USMC taught me to shoot a whole lot better. iron sights require practice, and more practice, until your sight picture becomes automatic. if you center the front post in the rear aperture, and concentrate on seeing the front post in focus, your rear peep will appear to be fuzzy and the target will also appear to be fuzzy, deep breath let it out slowly, when about 1/4 of that breath left begin squeezing the trigger. holding center of bullseye is difficult with iron, practice holding at the 6 o'clock and walk the bullet into the center with elevation and windage. holding at the 6 will give you a consistant point to hold on. i need glass because i'm 70 and my vision is no longer 20/15, i would only use iron sights at 50 yards if shooting for a score. with a 308 i can make head shots on silhouette targets, but it's not a scoring group, just solid hits. practice, and more practice, get a snap cap and dryfire to get a feel for your trigger. looking at your target you put many into the black, that's a plus [/QUOTE]
