I agree that iron sights should be learned early and are a basic skill for the rifleman, however due to nearsightedness and colorblindness scopes opened up a whole new world of shooting to me when I was ten.
I agree. My Dad's eyesight wasn't great but he was deadly with a scoped rifle. Grandpa had excellent eyesight and never used a scope in his life. Grandpa had receiver sights on all his rifles.
