Rear Sight not Needed?
« on: June 26, 2005, 08:21:16 AM »
This blew my mind.
My grandson and I were plinking at soda bottles.  He had his Taurus Mod 62 and his mothers Win. 67 while I had my Win. Winder.  He's doing ok hitting most of the time but wanted to try my rifle.  After a few shots, he declared, " I don't need this", refering to the Lyman No.2 tangsight, and folded it down! :eek:  
I promptly advised him that he would never hit anything without using a rear sight.  :roll:   So, what does he do?  He starts hitting even better than before!  :shock:  
I asked him how he was doing that, and he responded, matter-of-factly, that he was just putting the front sight on the target.    :roll:  
I said that he'd be one heck of a shotgunner!  :)
