I'm a Boy Scout and I've gotten Rifle Shooting Merit Badge
I shot .22 bolt action rifles which sights wer of so incredibly much, but there were 2 special rifles that the insructor brought out for the last 3 days, a Mosberg (ecsuse the spelling is it's wrong) and an olympic Biathalon rifle, which sights were actually good, but I'm wondering why he didn't get all the sights set like that. Anyway one of the requirement is to fire 5 shots into a group the size of a quarter. The regular .22s just had sights that looked like a u with an i in it but the two others had a big circle and a smaller circle and you had to get the smaller circle around the black and it was almost gaurunteed to get a hit in there (The Mosberg was a little high). I've convinced myself that it was just because the sights were more accurate, but other people beleived those sight were easier to use. That's because I got all my qualifying targets on the last day during free rifle shooting with those two rifles.
