konkapot Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) I read in the early 2000s an interview or article with Jerry Barnhart. He was asked if he could have an optic OR a comp on an Open gun (not both) which would he rather have. Anybody remember which he said was more important? Independant of the question above, which would you pick? Comp OR optic? Edited February 8 by konkapot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Don't remember what he said but dot 100 %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schutzenmeister Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) I don't recall the interview, however ... Were I younger with better eyes, I'd go with a comp. At 69, the dot is more useful. Edited February 8 by Schutzenmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 He did try shooting an iron-sighted comp gun at one Nationals around then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 In 2000 or 2001, JB shot and won the Ohio match in Sylvania with a comp'd/no dot open gun. I was there, it was the talk of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 My 76 year old eyes cannot see iron sights. So, dot first, everything else second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 21 hours ago, shred said: He did try shooting an iron-sighted comp gun at one Nationals around then. If my memory is correct his main gun went down just before match and he showed up with a single stack 38 super iron sight comp gun and Finnished in top 16 possibly top 10. Was at match but was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I heard a few different stories about why.. loss of dot sponsor, broken guns, just wanted to try it, etc. But he still placed well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
