Very interesting JPK.

"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.

I agree with you totally as to the Ghost ring--I would think it would be pretty clear after the military using it as standard equipement on the M-16 for the past 50 years there must be something to it.. On Jeff Cooper, as shown above, he was a huge advocate of this type of sighting system... IMHO, you really can't argue with his experience and insight..(no pun intended)

I grew up on open sights and still use them frequently today--in my experience as well, again , the ghost ring is much superior..
