In every book I read they advise wide forsights to help with focusing on the foresite, but does this make it more dificult to center the foresight on the target ?

If you shoot 50m Free pistol as well do you use a diferent fore sight width?

6mm
In that way i keep my frontssight in same width as the bulleye on 10m.

Only Morini delivers this width

no problems.
I uses also the 6mm for my freepistol
This gives me a wider frontsight than bulleye, but it is easier to keep
this wide frontsight in focus.

You will prolly find that old fellas like 5mm and you young whippersnappers prefer 4.5mm .

It isn't just the actual width of the front sight that changes its apparent width.

Distance from the eye is a major factor.
