What is the proper sight picture when shooting a rifle with open sites. For the last 6 or 7 years I have mostly shot rifles with a scope or a peep/aperture rear site.
When I was a kid my dad taught me to bury the front site in the bottom of the groove until the top of the site was level with the bottom of the groove and then put my target over that.
It never really made a lot of sense to me then and now it makes even less sense. When I shoot handguns I line the top of the front sight up with the top of the rear sight so it is three bars across all level at the top. From what I can find on the internet this seems to be proper sight picture although i don't really understand the reason for the 6-o-clock hold.
uncle sam taught me how to shoot with a peep site and I usually do pretty well with those.
I am referring more to a traditional buck-horn, AK, SKS, Mauser sighting setup.
