I've watched a few videos pertaining to focusing on the front sight when shooting. I have always accepted that I've done this. I also heard that if you "do not consistently shoot good groups" you're not focusing on your front sight? I shot my AR today, and found that when I REALLY stared at the front Sight post, I could not make out a target at all. But when i did what I usually did, I could see the front sight and my target, the front sight being in fairly good view, and the target being slightly blurry. When i have fired other rifles such as my Mauser, K-31, my Winchester, I expect and usually get 2.5" out of my Mauser, about the same with my K-31, and about an inch and a quarter with my Winchester. I can get them into under half an inch pretty consistently with my Remington 514, sometimes I do worse and can do about an inch with my 10/22. All of these with irons Am I doing this right? Or have I been doing it wrong all this time. I thought it rather normal to have a bad day or a flier here and there that messes your group up every now and then,a s long as you are not consistently shooting 10" Groups. Sorry for the stupid question, just a bit conflicted as to what to do.
TLDR, do I have to stare right at my front sight and not be able to see my target to be considered "focusing on my front sight"?
Thanks for any help.
