I wish I did'nt need a scope but like many of you my eyes are not great at all any more,looking through iron sights is a blurr for me and with low light its nearly impossible. I'm in the process of trying to find a sight for my bow with better light intake and bigger dots to line up with my peep. Age it comes to us all in different ways,but it comes. I use iron sights on my shotgun for Turkey but being so close and flinging a lot more led in a wider pattern helps the poor eyes out,so far.
