Alright, alright...have your fun. 
Anyway, my question is as follows: Why do I suck using the A2 large aperture iron sights? If I switch to the small aperture I can shoot very serviceable groups, but if I use the large sight it looks like I'm patterning my 870. OK, well...it's not that bad but I pretty much suck with the large aperture sights. Why? I can't be the only asshole with this problem. P.S. This is at a short indoor range that is so poorly lit I can barely see the damn sights. The nearest outdoor range is an hour or so drive.

It's normal for groups to be larger when using the larger aperture. Anyone who trys to tell you otherwise probably also shoots MOA groups with Wolf ammo. At 50 yards, the exteme spread of my 10-shot groups using the large A2 aperture are 1.4 times greater than my groups using the small aperture. |

Normal. The large aperture is when you need to make a shot at close range and and doing it fast is more important than being supremely accurate. The large aperture is good if you're taking a shot at a running coyote. Or if you're LE or military, the large aperture is better for close quarters.
If I'm just plinking or at the range, I always use the small aperture on my flip up sights. |
