Open sights...how accurate are you?

[JakeStarkey]

Pretty good with any type of long arm out to 300 yards over open sights.

Pretty bad with a hand gun at any distance down to 1 foot.

I think we must be on two different pages, but maybe not.

I'm talking about hunting...6 inch target regardless of range.

More or less the bottom of a medium coffee can.

The bottom of a medium coffee can, Missourian, would out duel me with hand guns.

Almost anywhere I could see it, I could hit it with a long arm.

I'm with RC Christian. I love the AR with the EoTech and the magnifier.
Use to be good out to 300yrds with an open sight but the eyes just dont have it anymore.
I practice by shooting golf balls at 100 yrds with the .270 and hit em more times then not with a scope. Not off hand mind you,but with a rest.
Pistols? Not so much,I've always been into long guns and I just recently got into pistols so I'm still working on technique.
I've always been a both eyes open shooter,something I learned shooting shotguns at an early age. This should help me with my pistol shooting.
