Who has a good explanation of what to do with sight settings for varying light conditions?

Hi Don
When the clouds roll in and out and give high and low lights with quick changes I shade high and low on the target with very very small shade movements. Light up sight up, light down sight down.

Hey Harlan, that's probably a better way , just shading than trying to adjust.
The last 2 years at Ekalaka on the 1/2 mile buff shoot, those clouds have been rolling in and out and making enough hits to be in the money a very hard, unattainable goal for me.
Thanks for the tip. sometimes its the simple things a person overlooks...

When shooting a post.....Harlan has it right! When I shoot an aperture it is my judgment and experience that changing light does not bother the shooter other than the fact that under abnormally dark conditions....the rear Iris may need to be opened up to assist in aiming!! Those that are using a 'too small' front aperture under dark conditions are only cutting their throats under those conditions. This is why most Master shooters have learned that a front aperture size that gives at least 2/3 more white around the bull than the space the bull occupies is the way to go. The eye cannot ascertain an error in aiming if the front aperture is very small whereas with a large aperture the eye can pick the error up!!
Cheers!
