Hey all...could use a little advice. I took my Bushmaster AR 15 (XM15) to the indoor range for the first time yesterday. Santa just brought it to me ( ).
Here's the problem. At ranges of 50 to 100 yards in relative "dim" indoor lighting conditions, I was having a great deal of difficulty sighting it in (lining up the the front sight post through the smaller aperature rear sight). I just can't see a good picture in poor light. I also occurs to me that this could be a problem if I ever needed to shoot at these ranges or greater outdoors and in dim light or possibly in the dark, etc. Looking forward, I would like to be use the open sights rather than scoping the carbine.
Is it wise to mark the front post and the rear aperture sights in white or some type of orange dayglow? Are there other options?
By the way, I could sight it in with the larger rear aperature sight but I could not draw an accurate bead on the target at this range.
Appreciate your advice............
