I am reasonably new to handguns and have only sent a few hundred rounds down the tubes of my various handguns thus far. I have heard from numerous sources that when shooting handguns that you should focus on the front sight and let the rear sight and the target blur. Here's the problem...I come from a very strong archery background of 14 years where I have been taught to focus on the target and to let the sight float, and this sight picture works very well for me in the sport of archery. Due to this background, I simply cannot bring myself to focus on the front sight of my handguns. When I mentally force myself to focus on the front sight it absolutely confuses the heck out of my mind and I no longer understand or mentally comprehend my sight picture. However, if I focus on the target, I see the front and rear sights line up as they should and I can acquire a comfortable sight picture fairly quickly. I don't know if it's worth trying to retrain my brain to look at a different sight picture when shooting handguns, or to just roll with what works well for me with a bow.
