My question is: If I've got a good set of iron sights, do I really need an optic for me to perform any better?
I'd like to hear from guys on both sides of the issue, so any input is appreciated.
I was a hardcore iron sights person until I got the opportunity to shoot in a 3-gun low light match. The target was a black painted pepper popper at 50-yards which blended against the dark background.
Three magazines later, I realized the advantage of optics. Fast forward many years later and the advantages of optics, specifically RDS, was verified when I attended carbine classes that included night firing.
If you don't plan on using your firestick in lo light (ie: self-defense) then you may not need an optic. Otherwise, I highly recommend looking into it. JM2CW.
