For some oddball reason I find that I prefer to use peep or plain iron sights for my rifle shooting. Call me odd if you must but my shooting is just for sport. And scopes simply seem too much like cheating....
But I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the target used is just as important to my accuracy as the rifle and ammo quality. We can't shoot what we can't see. Oh sure the PAPER is there but I find that it's tough to get to where I can see the spot on it to aim for.
A while back when sighting in my long range single shot I tried big sheets of paper so I'd have more luck tracking where the holes were going. In the middle of this big area I spray painted about a 12 incn red spot. Of all the targets I've tried I found that this one worked about the best so far.
So I'm wondering what sort of target you folks find works best for less than perfect vision and iron or peep sights at longer distances. Something that really works with the sights instead of fading away.
