I really like iron sights. It's more enjoyable to shoot offhand with irons at "things" than it is to shoot paper with a scope off a bench.
My eyes just ain't that great though. I definitely shoot better with magnified optics.
Still remember beigh 5 or 6 and dad putting chalk on the chalk board showing me how to line up irons and put the "pumpkin on the post". Lol.
