aiming at the white

[yana]

know this has bin covered be4, already read those
but couldn't find tips on HOW you know/see you take exactly the same
amount of white while aiming sub-6-o'clock?
do you just aim halfway the white part?

the amount of white should equal the white on either side of your front sight. Check out the Nygord Notes for complete explanation on how wide the white should be. Older shooters might need wider whites and larger front sights ...

Hmmm . . . do you know why this is somewhat irrelevant?
It's kind of the whole point of the sub-six aiming area method that you *can't* tell "exactly" where the precise aim point is . . . right?

Forget the notion of finding exactly the same
amount of white while aiming sub-6-o'clock. Focus on your front sight, and put the
sights in the "GENERAL AREA" of the white below the black, and trust your hold.
It took me years to trust what I was doing, but it does work. The biggest problem is
"LOOKING" no, "FOCUSING" on the front sight, not the target.
Hope this helps

Read R.M. and Steve Swartz carefully. If you are trying to find an exact point below the bullseye in the white area, and are trying to hold that point, you are looking down range at the target. Your attention is down range and so is much of your focus. In this case, you think you know the sights are lined up. But a move that front sight the thickness of a human hair and you no longer have a ten, yo may be lucky to have an eight. Unless you are really, and very specifically looking for that slight change, you will not see the front sight move in the rear sight.
Try shooting at a blank target, if you really put all of your attention and focus on the spacing on both sides of the front sight, you will have the best group you ever had.
I heard Erich Buljung say it once: Forget what is downrange it is just a reference point. Just look at your sights.

If your aimimg sub 6 o'clock, its halfway between the dot & the bottom of the target. If your sights waver high to the dot you come off the trigger, if your sights waver to the bottom of the target you come off the shot. To progress you mind has to learn to release the shot without concentrating on the target but the sights. Its just that to start off, its easy to see if your up in the black or somewhere close to where you should be.
