Understanding the 6 o’clock hold for precision shooting

Tim Sundles breaks down the concept of the 6 o’clock hold and why it matters for precision shooting with iron sights.

From shotgun beads to handgun partridge posts, U-notches, V-notches, and apertures, Tim explains how sight pictures work, why covering your target kills accuracy, and how years of practice turn simple setups into deadly-accurate tools.

Along the way, he shares stories from his early hunting days in Oregon, clears up common misconceptions, and stresses the value of testing gear and practicing until proficiency becomes second nature.
