NDD-
If 75m is the range for most engagements, lots of practice wit hiron sights at ranges over that (100-200m) would be great to get the muscle memory prior to fitting optics, wouldn't it. Actually at that range, you could throw your pointy stick with the nail and get 80% accuracy. I'm way out of practice, and a bit old school - but still think that good iron sight marksmanship, to train yourslelf to get a good picture is crucial before moving over to optics, create the good habits prior to adding technology.

just my .02, fire away.
