Wow. I salute you! Well done! A man-sized target at 400 yards is excellent with a military rifle, iron sights and military ammo! Very few can do that. I probably wouldn’t do it at 300 yards with iron sights now (old eyes).

Iron sights: I point at something I can see, then adjust the sights until I hit the target. You're right, it is harder to use the irons as one gets older, and I really like iron sights.

Actually it is not hard at all although I will admit to being a bit surprised when my Nephew also hit it regularly.

I think the key was the sights were dead on at 400.
