If post...under certain conditions of lighting and attempting to use a 6 o/clock hold....it's very difficult to tell if the front sight is exactly at the bottom of the bull or if it's eating up into the black a bit. To alleviate this problem to a degree...try using a 'line of white' between top of post and bottom of the bull. Research has shown that groups as small as 1/4 MOA can be attained using this system of aiming. If using a front aperture.....DO NOT get caught in the trap of using one that is too small; one that closes down the interior of the front ring tight around the bull! THAT is a common error that most rookies make when using a front aperture. The eye cannot ascertain any aiming error when this is done and your results will be much better if you use a large front aperture....one that will give at least 2/3 more area around the bull than the bull occupies itself!! The front post or the front aperture should be absolutely clear at shot break with the bull being a slight blurr/out of focus! You WILL NOT be able to learn to CALL YOUR SHOTS unless this last tip is applied!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

I'm done!

thanks Rick, I am using the smallest aperture that I own, but I can go up 2 sizes, I am using the crosshair aperture with circle in center
