So I have the G36 iron sights on my SL-8 and I've found I did not like them at all in covered outdoor shooting. In well lit conditions they are okay. However at the range Wednesday (noon, 50yds, white target) my eye relief on the irons had to shrink to nothing (jaw resting on the forward most edge of the cheek rest).
I just tossed an XS rear aperture on there and am hoping that may help, though the small aperture of the XS sight is a little bigger than I'd want ideally but it does allow me to use the cheek rest.
Am I using the irons incorrectly? The sight picture I go for is a ring of light around the front hood like when using diopter on a 9x series or my UMP conversion.
Anyone else have issues with them or a solution aside from optics? I don't like optics as I really prefer to just master the irons on firearms.
Thanks,
