Cameron,

I am now in my 50s and I have to wear bifocals or progressive lenses. For me, I can see the target better with a scope. At the distance small game is normally taken, a scope is not needed.

When I was in the Army, it was obvious that as it gets dark the iron sights get close to invisible. A scope will make the target easier to see, as the light fades. However, the cross-hairs also start to disappear as it gets dark. Glowing cross-hairs and a white or tritium front sight could be a wonderful thing.

Only hits count.

Accuracy comes from a good barrel, trigger and sights. Focus on the front sight/cross-hairs and concentrate on the trigger. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
