At 56, my eyes aren't what they were when I was 26 or even 36. I don't need correction for distance, but can't see for beans without it up close. I can still manage irons, but barely, and that's if I have plenty of time to get the front sight nestled into the rear. I suppose that with a fast shot, a fiber-optic front might it feel more like shooting a shotgun (assuming the rifle fits like a shotgun).

Doc, what is the reticle on your Accupoint? I've always wondered how precise the triangle/post reticle might be.

Now that right there is funny...and oh so true!

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
