Re: Target for zeroing with open sights

Very interesting JPK.

I didn't say it before, but on the little buggers I shoot most, a shot falling off 2" at 50 yards would cost me the whole critter.

Another man's opinion follows. Admittedly it is only the opinion of one man, but I must say I agree with him. He only spent a short time in uniform as I recall, but he did shoot a bit of African game. I don't think he was a cork popper, but if he was, I wish I'd been there to pop a cork with him:

"THE TRADITIONAL OPEN V BACKSIGHT IS A SECOND-RATE CHOICE, FIT ONLY TO SERVE AS AN EMERGENCY STAND-BY. THE 'GHOST RING' APERTURE (JEFF COOPER'S DESCRIPTION) IS VASTLY SUPERIOR UNDER ALL CONDITIONS, FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER." Finn Aagaard, American Rifleman, March 1984, page 76.

This fellow's opinion might be a little unclear to some, but to me, even with a cork popped, it's pretty easy to understand.

Uff da, og nordmann også!

Cork poppers unite!!
