I've noticed a definite increase in accuracy and speed since I've recently changed my sighting method.
Until now, I used the sight picture I learned in the military: let the target sit on the front sight post. Lately, I seem to do better with the sight picture where you line up the sights and put the front sight onto the spot where you want the bullet to go. This works great with three-dot sights, but it's also very workable with a red-ramped or black front sight.
I found that I can shoot faster and have somewhat tighter groups by having a defined point of impact that doesn't need to be visualized, much like an "iron red dot". The omitted step of "abstract" visualization does seem to work better for me.
Thoughts?
