When holding the rear sight low as 6 o'clock as we do with hanggun sights, the quarry is paper or iron.

On game, the ball or bullet should strike right on the top of the front blade. Beads of too large a size are difficult for long range animal shooting - they are not suitable for this. With most rifles, there is no problem with irons out to 200 or 300 yards. I hold, that beyond this range, no animal should be shot at, scope or not. Too much can go wrong & does. With most modern rifles, there is no holdover for shooting to 300 yards - only a few inches being the 'impact error' - even on something such as a wolf, the sights need not leave the animal. Scopes and modern advertizing promote 'sky- shots' that should never be taken.

Failing eyesight will get the better of us, sooner or later. So far, the front sight is pretty clear, as it should be. With good metailic sights, I cans till shoot sub-1" at 100 meters off the bags. Lots of practise helps all.
