Good comments by experienced NE shootets on express sights.

So much drivel written by modern net hack writers. One expects it from certain names.




Perhaps the modern writers are merely reiterating what has been written before. Back in the 80's (I think is was) a prominent gun rag writer named John Whooters who had been to Africa & shot a cape buffalo with a .416 Taylor wrote that express sights were only useful for shooting charging game inside 25 yards and were useless for shooting at longer ranges than that.
When I read that, I laughed out loud. I had already been shooting under 2" 5 shot groups at 100 meters with mine - and with a muzzleloader at that. This was 1987, seems to me.
The best I can do now, (2 years ago) was 2 1/2". Getting too long in the tooth, I guess. LOL- 4 of them were in an inch.
