[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 1233316, member: 999"] I don't intend to type a treatsie on this subject because good info has already been given but I'd just like to reiterate concerning sight picture. If one is shooting iron aperture sights..say a front and rear aperture, with the front being a circular insert, the primary vision should be focused upon the interior of the front insert for maintenance of concentricity with the bullseye if shooting on a paper target! There should be a circle within a circle within a circle! BUT...there's one very important thing which is often over-looked that is highly conducive to proper sight alignment which is the exterior of the front sight hood being used as another 'check-point' that must be maintained as viewed through the rear aperture also! IOW the rear aperture, which is normally adjustable for varying light conditions should be set at the appropriate size to allow the shooter to be able to see that the exterior of the hood should be centered up within the rear aperture as the shooter is making proper alignment! The human eye cannot focus on two different objects at the same time therefore at shot break, after proper sight alignment is maintained, the vision should be confined to the front aperture! If this is done the new shooter...or old....will be able to CALL HIS SHOT! Most new shooters I've trained using a scope do not use their vision correctly in that they 'by-pass' the scope reticle and are looking at the target at shot break which is basically azzbackards! The vision should be upon the reticle at shot break which will allow the shooter to CALL HIS SHOT! [/QUOTE]
