Default RE: Can't hit the close ones

I started using a red dot then changed to fiber optic rifle sights and I think that is my problem. I am a wingshooter first and I know where my stock needs to be on my cheek. So when my head is on the stock where it would be if I was sighting down the rib (or wingshooting) my sights are not lined up. I think that is what I'm doing, putting my head to low and just seeing sights glowing and shooting.

I can kill paper turkeys all day long at any range.

I have 3 solutions:
1 Use nothing but the factory bead
2 Don't shoot at anything closer than 30 yards
3 Go back to the red dot or scope
