RE: HOW TO AIM OPEN SIGHTS
I don’t have any V shaped rear sights, but I do have a U. I’d put the bead with the bottom of the bead just touching the inside edges of the V. You should still be able to see the whole bead.
On my U rear, the bead sets in the U with ½ of the bead in the U and the top half out above the U. There is an equal sliver of air space around the bottom of the bead as it sets in the U. The same thing might happen with your V. The bead might not fit all the way into the V, but be divided at the top with the bottom just barely not touching the V.
The bullet will hit behind the bead. Play with it and see what makes sense to you. At the proper distance for your rifle, try a couple 3 shot groups and see where it’s hitting. If it doesn’t make sense, adjust it until it does.
See post above about the snowman style of aiming. Your gun might be sighted in with this style. I personally don’t like it, but have shot a rifle sighted this way. It’s the way my buddy learned to shoot and he’s a good shot.
Sight the way it makes sense to you. You’ll be the one doing the shooting. Good Hunting.
