25 yard line: Do the sights help that much?
« on: May 15, 2008, 09:41:34 PM »
I gotta qualify with this unit. 10 rds at the 25 yd line.

Do I need the sights or not?

Thanks Eddie

Is this for CCW?

Do you have a time limit between shots?

Sight's would help, even as small as they are at that range (IMO).

If I recall its 2 strings of 5 rds. Each string 15 secs. For LE job carry.......

3 seconds between rounds.  That should be "easy enough" right? :).  I suspect you'll have to practice, but as long as double taps at 25 yards isn't the drill, I suspect you'll do fairly well.  

Definitely want sights to help though.  I'm not painting the rears, just the front.  I've learned from a friend that some instructors discourage the rear sights to the point of "magic markering" them out...students suddenly become great shots.  Front sight picture is the most important IMO.  Every time I've tried to NOT look at the rear 2 sights (3 dot) and concentrate on front sights, my combat shooting improves immensely.

 Of course, there is a line of thought to not use sights at all.

Good thoughts Bytor-thanks for the insight....


A really good dept. armorer told me:

   "In a fight,FRONT sight. Trigger press."
