Sight Picture
A quick question for those that use open sights for hunting.
Do you use a six oclock hold or a center hold when sighting your ml and when taking a shot at a deer?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

RE: Sight Picture
That is a loaded question pardon my pun. I used to use a modified hold but I have since gone to a full siz o'clock open hold. I want to see that bullet hit. If I use a hold were the front site covers the point of the hit, then that is not possible. Also it is not possible to see a small branch in the way as the deer moves through cover. I basically look at my sight and projectile POI as a 8. The bottom half being the sight, and the top half being the POI.

RE: Sight Picture
I'd have to say I tend to cut the anticipated POI in half with my front bead or attempt to be at that mental picture when the hammer falls. I basically invade the upper lobe of the figure 8 from the bottom up and (hope?) that ignition coincides with the moment of that mental image. Guess that might be a modified 6 o'clock?
