I'm 72 and this season I hunted mostly with my iron sighted rifles, all but one peep sight. I have a 94 Winchester that wears a Lyman 66 with a Redfield Sourdough up front. The best combination however was my 99H carbine with a Redfield 70 receiver sight and a Williams FO front. It looks terrible but, really stands out early in the morning as I was only loosing 10 minutes over a scope. My CZ FS with only it's irons was a full 30 minutes later over it being scoped. Love how they handle sans scopes but, will probably use scopes from now on as I owe it to the game to place the shot precisely.

Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths.
