[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1954398, member: 2736"] Aperture sites are very good for long range targets because they are round just like the targets. They are used in many 600 and 1000 yard matches. The problem with them for hunting Is the tendency to hold center mass and hitting the game just behind the heart lung area. I recommend the thin front blade and a flat top pistol type sight so the POI is not covered and the flat top rear allows you to center the front blade and elevate the rear sight level with the front site for a good hold. With this setup you can hold over or under for the distance and still retain good alignment of the sites. I tried mixing the front blade with the/a rear aperture but the site picture was more difficult to to align and with both blade sites you end up with almost a reticle site picture with a horizontal line and two vertical lines. 👍 Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
