I read a study quite a few years ago, but don't remember where. Anyway, they tested standard open sights, peep sights, and telescopic sights against each other. If I correctly remember the results, they found standard sights to be just as accurate out to 200 yards, and peep sights to 300. It wasn't til after the 300 yard mark that scopes gained any accuracy advantage.

While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.
