I gotta use a scope - eyes are bad - open sights will be a Hail Mary

My eyes can't pick out the iron sight worth a darn anymore. A scope is the only ethical choice for me. If I lived in a state where scopes are illegal I would probably have to give up bp hunting. Kind of amazing that allowances are made with crossbows for bowhunting but you are screwed if you cant shoot with iron sights.

Scopes for me, mainly so I can see what I'm shooting at!!

I use the Endeavor with a scope during the regular firearms season, and the omega with the truglo globe sights during the muzzleloader season. I enjoy both but prefer using the scope.

I used open sights by preference until I had to start using a scope because of aging eyes.

I plan on using the peep site on my X7 and super 91-11 as long as my eyes let me make ethical shots.

I shoot better with optics so thats what I use.

I only have one muzzleloader that has a scope. The rest are peep or open sights. Ironically, the only deer I've killed with a ML'er was with the scoped one. But not for a lack of trying. I don't have a specific season for ML'ers so I carry one when I'm not dogging or in a watch that isn't good for a flintlock. Unfortuneately we tend to tag out before the finters can come into action. Like this year. I shot 3 deer while dogging with my Win 94. Tags gone hunt over. So the flinter will wait for another year.

I prefer to hunt with a scope. Most of my deer have been taken at first and last light of the day.

The scope makes it so much easier for me to focus with aging eyes open sights are ok for bowhunting for me no choice but rifle shooting give me the glass..
