Not Bob,

If you shoot well using center hold, why would you even consider changing? You wouldn't know it from the more vocal contributors to this forum, but many great shooters have used, and are using center hold, including world record holders. If it ain't broke....

Not the one that granpa used, but a big one! I prefer to call it a "ball" since it's big enough to fill most of the black. And it fills most of the rearsight notch as well. I keep the top of my rear sight at target center so it cuts both the black circles in two.

So what gives? I had to make this sight myself, no big deal after making a number of wide front posts. This sight was very easy for me to become accustomed to. I believe it is pretty accurate: when I do other things right, it produces tens with a good feeling of certainty. My whole sighting process is very much guided not by contrast and edges, but by symmetry. Humans are very good at judging symmetry.
Luftskytter,

You have a PM about this type of sight.
