Thread: Iron Sights for 60+

Just be prepared to change it ever few years as your eyes continue to change
Or accept that it's going to happen and think further forward to open sights and quick release mounts that allow a low power scope
Because you will end up there anyway

I have Skinner sights
Tang sights
Aperture sights
Open sights
Express sights
Some work better than others but all are suitable for task

Also as you age re focus your scopes more often
You will get a surprise how sharp they are again

Skinner makes a rear aperture sight which also mounts Talley QD rings. That looks like a good option to me

Recently had 2 scoped rifles out of the safe that had been undisturbed for several years. The scopes were noticeably not sharp and needed adjusting. Yet my last glasses update showed my eyes were only very slightly different from 3 years ago.

One rifle I would have trouble shooting now is my PH Musketoon. It has a rear sight very close to the shooter.
