iron sights?

Does anyone use iron sights solely? No scope at all? If so, what do you shoot, and at what range? Thank you.

Since this is primarily a bowhunting forum I would guess that most of us use fiber optic pins for sighting. I use a peep sight and a 5-pin Trophy Ridge Micro Matrix on my compound.

If you're talking about rifle hunting, I use open (iron) sights on my Remington Model 760 (pump) .308 and a 2.5-8x scope on my Remington Model 742 (semi-auto) 30-06.

I own quite a few Rifles with iron sights. Most big game shots are kept under 150 yards. I have scoped rifles for anything above that. All depends on where and what I am hunting, then I decide what I want to take with me.

Well for the rifles, I have an old .303 that I have chased moose with that lacks a scope. But my other rigs are all scoped, ranging from 4x to 6-24x power. But I prefer the fiber optics now :)

I have iron sights on my 45-70, on all my drillings (plus a Claw Mount scope for them as well) and basically, other than shotguns, the rest are scoped.
