Default Of course you are entitled to your opinion HÃ?Â¥kan...

and I even agree with you when it comes to punching holes in paper targets that are to be scored...


I am not talking about bullseye shooters on a range with optimum lighting conditions here, but rather defensive shooting in low light conditions... Black sights on a black target in minimal light conditions require either excellent instinctive aiming or an applicance to improve your chances of a hit in a vital zone... this is the basis for the red-dot type sights used in serious combat applications. Highlighting of iron sights is method to improve "scoring" in this real-world shooting application.


Having spent 20 years of my life carrying loaded weapons in the US Army, sights modified for low-light conditions have their time and place in shooting situations where everybody doesn't get to go home when the shooting is over.


kind regards,
