I recently dragged out my Winchester 94 that my dad bought me when I started hunting back in 1972. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I don't think I've fired it since maybe 1976? Old eyes have really frustrated my open sight shooting and I'm really struggling with sight alignment/sight picture, to the point I may find some kind of peep/ghost sight setup for this.
But, as it sits, I do remember really wrestling with getting the sights adjusted - but as a know-it-all kid then, of course never asked for advice. I did kill a few deer with it, but everything very close range... like 25 yards or so, as I recall.
So, attempting to get a picture of the sights here ... what is "proper" for sight alignment? I assume (like I did back then) putting the front bead in the deepest notch of the rear sight but recalling that I really don't think I got them adjusted well using that.
The rear sight is so flat that floating the bead across the top of the ears is a real SWAG with a bunch of imagination on where that line might be.
