This is good advice. Like Bomb says a ring or peep rear is hard to see in the bush unless it is big. A 'V' is faster (very fast) to use if you start under the target and come up and squeeze off. Just make sure that the blade and V naturally align - by this I mean move your eye alignment to each side of the v. This will look really wrong with good open sights and you should be automatically drawn back to correct centering with the clear space each side of the blade exactly the same. Don't get those horrible square sided rear sights
