[QUOTE="Bar7mag, post: 3194378, member: 4281"] I have been really interested in killing some deer this year with iron sights. I shot today and at 50 yards I really shot horrible couldn't hit a paper plate size target. I do wear glasses and don't have the best eyesight. However at the 25 yard mark I could shoot 5 bullets all really close to each other. Went back to 50 yards and same story. This was with two different rifles so I know it has to be me. I could also shoot clay targets consistently at 50 yards but it just seemed so much easier aiming at the clay than the little bulls eye. Do you think I should have started out maybe at 50 yards shooting something like a pie plate instead of a bulls eye? I would love to do some reading on iron sight shooting. I have read a little and it said to really focus on making your front sight and the target clear and let your back sight be fuzzy is that correct form? Do you cover your bulls eye with your front sight or is a 6 o clock hold right underneath the bullseye preferred. Should I maybe order a peep sight? Any help or info greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
