Can anyone else hit anything with these? Took mine out on the weekend with one of those rubber targets and just couldn't hit it unless u took 10 seconds to line up the sights. My svt40 I could wallop that thing shot after shot no problem. Maybe I just don't like peep sights. I might have to get the ftu just to make it usable for me. So my question is does anyone like these sights? Just curious.

my friend can shoot a shotgun 12 gauge shell off 10 meters away with T97 iron sight, so it's pretty good. I myself run a eotech holographic sight on it tho.
 
I've only shot one mag out of a t97 and found the sights a bit weird.
Peeps and apertures are my favorite sights.
 
I can group acceptably at 100yds and reliably hit a gong while snap shooting at 200. The ultra short sight radius makes it a lot more difficult than with my 20" AR though, thats for sure.

Another problem I've had is the way the sight adjusts for windage. Because the post is drifted left and right inside the hood, making it off-center, my eye can't decide if it wants to center the post or the hood inside the peep. The sight doesn't align as naturally as it would with an AR, where there is only a post.

The Chinese PLA-Issue rifles, and from what I can tell, the original, now-prohib T97s would drift the entire front sight base, so that the post remains in the center of the hood. This solves the problem, so why did they change it for the T97NSR?

The sights could be a little more refined.....no problems here hitting milk jugs and 12" gong @ 200 yrds with standard irons. Lucky for me( I guess) that windage was perfect at dead center for the norc ammo that I've been using. I have not tried any further yet. If it had a decent trigger, I'd say groups would probably shrink quite a bit.
 
I agree Jarvy, if there is a hood up front then the windage adustment should be at the rear or by moving the entire front hood.
 
I find it hard to focus on the target with the sight in the way? I was shooting a 4-5" roundish target at about 20-30 yards with little success. I could hit it easily with the svt at 50 yards though. I guess I've never really made sure it was sighted in either. I should put it on a lead sled and see if it's 100% sighted in. Probably still won't like the sights but will eliminate one variable.
 
Put your cheek on the stock, slide your head forward till the front sight hood is just filling the edges of the 200M rear sight... Now move your head back because your too far forward...

Front sight, front sight, front sight... The post not the hood.

Takes a bit to figure it out but if your brain sees two circles 0____0 it's going to try to line them up but if it sees a circle and a short post 0_____I it will find center... Think Eotec or German T reticle... Circle and a focal point, a second circle confuses the brain.

The sights are set for 100m. At 20-30m it would be 4" low. If you were aiming dead center at a 4-5" target you'd miss low.
