When I shot competitively (rifle in HS, almost 30 years ago) I was a big fan of the double peephole sights. All you had to do was center the target in the aperture and make sure the aperture was circular.
Takes all the work out of sight alignment and then you can focus on breathing, heartbeat and trigger squeeze.
- Zak 9y agoI did the same kind of competition, and the double-aperture sights were, indeed very effective and effortless to use. There's a catch though: they're only good for shooting circular targets of the correct apparent size. I actually did once use a rifle with such sights to take some small game. It was not easy to aim outside of the conditions for which it was designed.
- steverb 9y agoI think it depends in large on the type of shooting. I didn't have a problem with double peeps for man-shaped targets, but acquisition is harder due to the limited field of view. The military style peep + blade is a good compromise I think, especially when have to worry about ranging.
