I still shoot my old iron sight rifle at the range..

[PETE]

My old hunting rifle has one of those old-school iron sight setups and I shoot it at the range sometimes just to stay honest. Nothing checks your fundamentals like simple irons.

My eyes are getting weak as I get older. I like iron sights, but I cant see them as well - anymore. I tried peep sights and I can hit better with those but for me - Red Dots have been a game changer.

Iron sights have a way of humbling anyone who leans too heavily on optics. I run a few magazines on irons every trip just to remind myself what clean alignment really feels like.

I grew up with iron sights, even as a kid I always thought scopes took the challenge and fun out of shooting. Anyone learning to shoot should do so with irons and then progress to whatever high tech sights they choose.

Irons keep you honest, if your fundamentals slip there’s nowhere for it to hide.
