I’ll admit that I can’t hit hand thrown cans like I can with open sights. However, at 1 to 1.5 power on the scope, on a rifle that fits properly, hitting a jumped deer in timber is no different than with irons and I can hunt in much darker conditions than with irons. If the sights are unusable……speed with irons doesn’t count for much! 😉 memtb
