Sight alignment

This argument is almost as old as firearms!! Payne or Paine (spelling?) sights, a bead front with a small u rear, have been very popular with sport shooters and hunters for decades. The Patridge sight(again spelling?)consisting of a square notch with a square front was specifically designed for target shooting, but has become widely accepted as all purpose, and it is hard to argue with it's success. I have found, that an excellent shot, (not me!) can shoot either sight, with excellent results. If it helps, put on some paint! till...later...G.T.
