I'm a fan of typical, personally. They just look better.
Amish? Did he use a catapult?

The Remington site has a nice trajectory table. I had a friend with an old M1A1(?) Springfield "sniper" rifle with those type of sites and I've watched him hit RUNNING deer with it. You CAN hit at 500 yards with open sites if you know how to aim and "squeeze" the trigger.
WBL - I know you're not advocating taking 500 yard running shots at deer with a 30.06 with open sights. But I RESPECTFULLY submit that even talking about things like that is counter to responsible gun advocacy. I believe that you yourself are a responsible and skilled hunter. We must, as responsible gun owners, discourage any rhetoric that paints us otherwise. So forgive me if I sound high-handed here. I just feel very strongly about this.

You've got me confused. Where do I "advocate" shooting deer at 500 yards with open sights? I only stated that my very skilled friend could do it (consistently). If people take that as meaning it's something easy to do then I'm at fault but this guy shoots every other day all year long. He's the best shot I've ever seen. I hope this "fixes" any confusion as to what I was mentioning. We were talking more about shooting at the range with open sights. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
