The target shouldn't be in focus,you shouldn't be able to see detail to aim at "a spot" on the target, the black centre should be a blurred round dot hovering above your foresight - you aquire a consistant target picture that looks like this -

If you're trying to see detail on the target you're doing it all wrong

100% correct.
The human eye, or any other eye for that matter is incapable of focussing on rear sight, front sight and target at the same time. It is the FRONT SIGHT that should be in crisp focus.
Try off-the-hook reading glasses until you find the lens that gives you front sight focus.
Forget the "distraction bull" completely; you are going for an area aim on a blank sheet of card. Try shooting at the back of a target and you will prove to yourself that without the fuzzy black thing to distract you and "pull" your eye towards it, your groups will usually improve, believe it or not! Your peripheral vision and subconscious will align the sights to the outline of the target - surprisingly accurately.
