[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 765034, member: 9253"] With circular metallic peep sights and a round bulleseye (as with 1000 yard Palma and other highpower targets, it's been demonstrated that a person with normal eyesight can align metallic sights to better than 1/2 moa. That does not require actually resolving to dot to better than 1 moa, only judging the brightness distribution of the ring of light between the sight aperture and the bullesye. In thousand yard matches at standard targets (not shot from bench or or bags) having a scope is less important than the shooters skill at doping wind and the shooters physical shooting skill. For doping wind metallic sight shooters are still allowed spotting scopes. Since animals aren't round black dots metallic sights are a disadvantage for LongRangeHunting(tm) both in aiming and target recognition. The vital zone of animals is not necessarily at the animal's center of mass and it's not good to shoot a farmers calf or goat thinking thinking it a deer or antelope. [/QUOTE]
