I wouldn't even have thought about the sighting options:






but then again I'm either a top-of-bead or centre-of-bead aimer.

Actually, I'm confused - what part of the bead are they aiming off? The 100yd shot has to be top-of-bead, and probably the others too.




Those are the different sight pictures using one blade, the 100 yard blade, to show how little elevation of the front sight was needed for shooting to 300yards.
Centre of the bead is where the ball(bullet) strikes.




Thanks. I understood the change in sight alignment with the front bead increasing in height but it looked like the actual point of aim (center of bead) against the animal was changing because the bead looks to be at different positions on the animal. They haven't scaled correctly the size of the animal - the 200yd animal should be half the 100yd, and 300yd a third the 100yd. The bead is meant to be on the same point on the animal in each case.
