Having recently been bitten by the C&R milsurp bug, I'm finding myself shooting WWII vintage rifles. Invariably these have open sights graduated out to hundreds of yards, but no micrometer-style adjustment. For all practical purposes (as near as I can see) they are non-adjustable sights, and they seem to have a tendency to shoot high at the closer ranges like 50-100 yards.
What did the soldiers who used these rifles do? I'm guessing they simply made a mental adjustment and fired away.
Because my eyes aren't what they used to be, I find it hard to shoot with open sights anyway, but I hate to give anything up by deliberately pointing the rifle someplace other than where I want the bullet to hit.
