The question is for any rifle with such open sights.
This has baffled me, although the ancient Savage .22 has a nice tiny bead sight, but using the (previous) Mosin Nagants was a major challenge.
For this middle-aged, very late-starter with guns, there might never be an Appleseed class in the Memphis area.
Two friends at the nice range have given some basic pointers for 50 yards, but when alone, after three shots totally missed the sticky black target at 100 yards, gave up on that.
Will try 100 yards with the Enfield #4 (aperture sights), but the open sights of the Mauser will require some personal instruction. Have lots of Yugo and Czech ammo (3,000+), but not yet the skills to really use it. Decent skills are desired before the left eye goes more downhill with age.
Weeks after buying the Yugo Mauser, was told that the previous owner took a deer at 200 yards with the iron sights.
