Mounting rear iron further up on the rail? Benefits?

[Knife_Sniper]

A small peep aperature relies on your eye being close to the hole.


When you look through the rear peep your focus broadens. Your ability to focus on things both near and far when using the peep increases thereby allowing you to focus on the front sight while retaining the sharpness of the target.

It won't work if it sits half way down the rail.

Head Down is a local company and I got to look at some of their initial offerings. I was not impressed for the money they were asking but I saw nothing startling.

now, putting a rear sight further away from your eye... that goes against everything that the aperture sight is designed for. guns that use a forward mounted rear sight do so for one reason - they have to - and these are notch or v-type sights, not apertures.

and I had hopes for this company...
