At my club the normal course of fire for this gun is an 8" aiming mark at a range of 25 metres. The recommended technique is to aim a hairsbreadth below the mark and adjust the sights so as to hit the centre - in other words the POI is deliberately about 4 to 5 inches above the point of aim. The reason is to avoid losing the sights against the black aiming mark.
You're quite at liberty to think this a strange way to go about it, but if you want to compete at all, that's the way it is hereabouts!
The way the gun is set up affects the sight picture because the front sight is cut down quite a lot. What I see through the v shaped notch on the top strap is the inverted v shape near to the base of the factory front sight with a little white triangle on each side. I think my eyes are having problems with this and I would like to try to change things so that I get the more familiar black line through a parallel sided notch.
Modifying a front sight is no big deal, but filing out the rear sight is a bit irreversible.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Or do you have an opinion about my proposed solution?
