I had a discussion with my brother in law regarding iron sights. Both of us are new to rifles but not new to firearms. We've been mostly pistol guys until recently.
I told him that he should learn how to use the iron sights before placing optics on his AK, which is what I'm doing with my AR. He said that it doesn't matter, which I replied what are you going to do if your optics fail?
What are your opinions. Is it really necessary to learn how to use the iron sights first or am I making more complex than it really is?
Most of our shooting is less than 100 yards.
