I made it out the range after having been away for about a year. I was doing recreational bench shooting with open sights with targets 100 yards out. I'm in the 45-50 age category and my eyes are a far cry from what they once were. The target is quite fuzzy/blurry for my eyes at that distance. In case it's relevant, I was shooting a 1903-A3 (aperture sight). The best I can do for my eyesight (using open sights) is to try to center the top of my front sight blade on the fuzzy/blurry target.
After pulling my target at the end of my shooting, I started wondering what would the 'normal' grouping be for open sights at that range with an older pair of eyes? In other words, I have no idea if my grouping is good, bad, middle-of-the-road, or something else.
Any guidance on how to know? By the way, I don't know anything about target scoring, so I can't say I shot a 'x'. I'm just asking out of curiosity. As I said, I don't shoot competitively (and don't plan on it). Just wondering.
Thanks in advance.
