Thread: Teaching Kids - Open sights or scope?

I learned to shoot using blade and notch iron sights on an air rifle. I got pretty good, and absolutely hated them. I remember watching Crocodile Dundee 2, seeing Mick's rifle with ghost rings, and wishing I had a sighting method that good. A scope is so much more intuitive, especially if your iron sights are set up with the traditional target shooting zero (6 o'clock hold). Even today, that seems so task-specific and dumb.
