iron sights have their place. great for night shooting with spot lights on your own. also in rough terrain where scopes can be knocked about when bashing thru bush it is a good option. and on shotguns, scopes are ridiculous. but with shotties, so are iron sights. you can either shoot with those or you cant. if you cant you need to get a different one that fits you. i havent aimed with my double barrel ever (in 54 minus 21 years). and i have never missed. figure that out.
