Something I've realized lately is that my eyes are not what they once were. I'm 57, wear bifocals.

Through the reading lens I can get a clear front sight, but cannot see anything downrange. Through the upper lens, I can only get a blurry front sight, but I can see downrange.

I like the basic simplicity of the irons, but reality is I can shoot about 3" with optics, and 6" with irons, at 100 yards. That's with this carbine and Tula ammo
