Sight Picture

Hold Your Rifle Sights On Target

The type of sight-picture to use is the choice of the shooter.  While the 6 O'Clock hold is almost always the best for target shooting, the center hold maybe be preferable for practical and defensive shooting.  On a center hold, the black front sight, visually superimposed over the black bullseye make a larger area for the sight to wander across while still looking centered. With the 6 O'Clock hold, there is less margin for visual error.

6 O'Clock Hold is the most accurate sighting method, especially for target shooting. You adjust your rifle to hit a little bit high. Three inches high on a six inch bullseye will put the bullets in the center. 

Center Hold Puts Point Of Aim At Center Of Target. Generally Preferable For Practical And Defensive Shooting and for pistol as well. The black sight tip however can appear centered in black bullseye when in fact it isn't exactly centered.
