I’ve been using my iron sighted HW77 for a good while for HFT - I use it on days when I want to enjoy the ‘simple’ aspect of shooting, or when I’ve taken every other rifle I have to bits and have nothing in one piece to use...



I use the standard HW bead foresight insert as I find it more precise for shooting paper targets (with a clear background) - but in gloomy conditions and against ‘knock down’ targets, I’ve been finding difficulties - mostly with the bead obscuring the kill zone at further distances.
Recently, I wound my windage out a few clicks, just enough to provide me with a clear picture at distance and found it greatly improved my shooting. I took the 77 to my local club today for the first time in a good while and shot my open sighted personal best, including a good few hits on forty plus yard targets.



Just thought I’d share my findings with other ‘iron sighters’.
Cheers, Craig.
