Iron Sights: Back on the Soapbox

This may not be the best price in town. But, it beats an empty stick:

I shot iron sights in the Corps... On everything from the aircrew 38s and 45s to the Competition 45s and 22s, the Garands, M14s, and M16s. Everyone didn't get optics back then. In competitions, we shot all the way back to 600 yards, with iron sights. We focused on the front sight, the target was a blur, we hit it.

In PPC matches later, we still shot handguns, with iron sights, back to 50 yards.
We blackened the sights to reduce glare, focused on the front sight post, and the target was a blur. We hit it.

These days, target shooting, I still smoke my sights.
Practicing with my edc gun, I get a flash sight picture.
I still hit it.

My squirrel gun, a cz22 has a scope, for long range head shots for Miss T.
My 308 has a scope, for feral hogs, wolves, and yotes, if needed. They, can be a mite skittish.

Iron sights on the rest.
