RE: Shooting open sights???
I may have been able to shoot the KNS crosshairs front sight twenty years ago, but now I see two sets of crosshairs [8D]. For me, the green fiber optic (.038) front sight is the ticket. I use a rear peep with a 3/32 aperature and have it mounted as close to my eye as I can get it. Can shoot this combination as well as a low powered scope, and have made several shots approaching 200 yards on elk with no problem.
The other front sight you might consider is the LeVang type - which is an open aperature. The hole in the front sight substends almost 12 MOA, but it is amazing how well your eye can determine the center of the hole. You look through the rear peep, look through the front peep, and focus on the target. I shot a 1" group with one of these front sights on an AR-15 about six months ago. Still, I think the green fiber optic would be best in low light. Regards. Roskoe.
