Default New ar15 iron sights too hard

I planned to keep my new ar very basic and simple with a strong bias to use iron sights. I did ok out to 50 yards but certainly not right groups. For the sole purpose of shooting pigs and coyotes or plinking it is ok but I'm afraid I will need to buy a scope. I don't wear glasses or contacts bc my vision is decent and particularly good at distance but up close not good. The iron sights are blurry. As the light falls it gets even worse.

What should I do, buy a red dot or 1-4x24 bushnell scope for $150.

Lots of options for 3x9s but I don't want that big of a scope and expect 95 percent of my shots will be between 40-100 yards with a rare 125.

Will my eye condition cause problems w red dot too? The scope can be adjusted for better focus but red dots? Can u really shoot reliably at 100 yards with red dot?

Wish to spend as little as possible since a scope wasn't part of the plan but can live w up to 200$ if necessary
