I occasionally take out my M1 Garand for some dry fire practice. Most times the practice takes place at night in my house. When it's dark it is impossible for me to pick up the front post in the peep sight.
So how in the heck did all those soldiers in WWII and Korea fire the the darn thing at night? Were they totally dependent on star shells and flares? Did they just point in the general direction and fire?
This thing gives me a real appreciation for just how difficult and scary night battles must have been in the days before Night Vision devices became universal.
