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..

And this is so true until you are taliking about big dangerous game and ranges under 50yds, even really under 25yds. Here you need all the view and perspective you can get. That big open V works great, doesn't hide or obscure anything and isn't even a heartbeat slower.
