Peep vs. Notch - AR15.COM

Does any one else have trouble shooting with both eyes open on a notch type sight like an AK but no problems doing it with a AR type peep sight? Any way to correct this, or is it just practice?

Yup, Hate notches. I just steer clear of them.

ever since i looked through my dad's garand way back, i determined that hunting rifle's notched sights suck

same thing when it comes to AKs and ARs

peeps kick notches' a**.

hopefully i can solve that problem on my AK w/ some mojos....

Peep is best.

Though with a long sight radius, a notch sight can be pretty good.

Peeps are good when you have problems getting a good cheek weld, put with some when the geometry is right good notches are as fast and maybe more accurate.

I get a great weld and picture on both my Browning 45-70 and Rossi M92 rifle and they both shoot great. I can't get a good weld or picture on my bros Win M94 for anything. All are notch sights.

I like my rifles with notch sights, but peeps are my preference.
