ahudson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Is there a rule about shooting without sights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 No. And I know of one nutty forum member that has shot several club matches recently with a gun that has no sights mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThompson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I've shot a few with the dot off... some on purpose some not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 No rule but a general guideline. Sort of like don't put your fork in a electric socket. It hurts to do and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman711 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 A few months back there was an article,I believe in Front Sight, about a shooter in Norco,Ca. that shoots without sights all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 At last year's Eddy Brown Memorial Metal Match Pat Kelley tore (literally) the sights off his Glock with a pair of pliers at lunch because he was shooting poorly. He then went on to win the match. I know at least one other guy that shoots without sights routinely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Year before last at the open nationals there was a guy on the squad behind us with an open gun with no scope. He had taken the dot and the mount completely off. I watched him shoot several stages. He seemed to do ok... I guess he just learned to see what he needed to see. Maybe it was a "zen compatable" open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Man I hope this no sight thing catches on real good. It's already caught on with many...whether they have sights on their gun or not. You'd think we all would be able to hit 66 square inches of A-zone on just about any shot we typically see in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahudson Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thanks. I done a couple of practices without the front or rear sights. I'm going to leave them off for a match and see how I do under pressure. The next match at MRPC I might run with out them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
