I say u should practice all the time with iron sights just incase (batteries die, technology does fail) its like telling a boxer jabs arent worth it just practice haymakers nothing wrong with getting good basic fundamentals
Some of us stock rifles for shtf and collections. Irons are extremely useful. Maybe a bit anqeqated for your go to or your only rifle but some how in the midst of chaos I don't think anyones going to scoff. Some tools just need to be a hammer. Study, built, no fuss. Sure a phunematic nailer is faster, more effective and built well. But some how we still have hammers in every hardware store.
what does it mean to "master" irons? What's wrong with getting them zeroed at 25 yards? Military standard for zeroing is around 18~20 rounds, roughly a box. This should get most people on target and then they can work on their dot
Bullshit. Irons are the base. You master the basics first. Then you work on the more advanced skills and technology. Most guns have irons. Why would not master the most common sighting system?
I disagree. Who says that a weapon you pick up off the floor (say your partner's) will always have a RDS, then what? Mud, snow, rain, or dust can obscure or even rendering inopertible
That's my stance. Good to have an understanding just in case you have to use them, but they shouldn't be your first choice. When I run a familiarization course, I have them plink off five on irons so they get the basic idea and see the difference.

You need to hit what you are shooting at. Iron sights as a back up, plus whatever you got on top

Love that triangle stock bag…
This is a bad take. Having back up irons is a low tech redundancy if your optic gets damaged.

Iron sights are like the manual of cars.
I'm living in the past BUIS always
Where does the astigmatic shooter fall in?
Red dots look more like blurry starbursts to me.
Red dots are great, iron sights never run outta battery.
“If you don’t have a lotta money go buy a RDS instead of buying more ammo to practice with sights already on your gun” ion know bout that bruh

I love iron sight shooting. I also think red dots and other optics are way more effective.
