    Shooting (sight picture) advice.

    Have seen a thread n here whihc mentioned that you could you use the CORNER of the front sight blade to acheive smaller groups. I also just got some advice re the 6 oclock hold which indicated that it's better to leave a gap between the black and the top of the front sight. FURTHER to this somone esle suggested that i white out the front sight and use a center hold.
    I'm pretty inexperienced at shooting because I don't get to go that often, though I've been colletcing LE's for about 8 years now. My eyes are getting old and if someone has some definitive advice or a way to incorporate all these tricks it would be great to hear them.
    I generally shoot to 100 or 200 yards at a 6 inch or 12 inch black.
