Thread: Open Sights

Probably half of my hunting has been done with open sights over the years. Not so much any more as I cant see the front sight so well...

Nearly all of my early hunting was done with open sights - scopes were not what they were today unless one spent a lot of money and as a young shepherd that was in short supply- until selling deer became the norm - bought a new redfield to take into wapiti block about 69 and bloody thing fogged second day in there - took it of and yup open sights rest of trip including Stewart Island straight after coming out of fiordland - was thankful I had the foresight to zero sights before leaving on trip - all deer one shot so scope was no loss - If I was doing a lot of horse work would stay with open sights - horses damn hard on scopes at times - still a place for them
