Iron sights are a trusted part of a gun when precision optics fail. As one ages such sights are harder to use accurately. Ghost rings, peep or other apertures make fast target acquisition possible even with aging eyes. In this regard I can speak with experience. I shot lever action rifles for years on deer, bear, hogs and other game. I‘ve always had scoped bolt actions as well, adding Skinner sights to certain rifles has allowed me to once again use these shooting irons. Buck horn sights no longer are a going proposition to effectively shoot with any degree of accuracy.
