Hello all,
New to shooting...on my 3rd trip out i installed a Nikon Prostaff 4x32 on my Marlin 60 .22LR, i had it zeroed at 25 yards within 15 minutes and made a 5 shot ragged hole at 50 yards (off of sand bag rests on the bench). So i was immediately pretty happy with that and the new goal is of course to get as good as the rifle without the bench.
Now, with the scope and the rifle rested, there wasn't a lot to it. I got a parallax-free view, put the crosshairs on the bull and fired away as steady as i could.
When i do the same thing with my new Tech Sights peep sights, my concern is that i will have no idea if my sight picture is right or wrong. Ive never shot a peep sight before. So i will put the rifle on rests but have no idea if i have the front post properly aligned vs a little high or a little low in the aperture. Not as easy as putting an "X" on target!
Is this a big issue for people zeroing peep style sights for the first time or does it seem a lot more natural out in the field than it does in my head?
Thank you!
