While I can agree with what he says. I can not agree with one of the pictures he uses. The frame hold is a viable option for some shooters. It is good for bad light conditions, as well as shooters with failing eyesight. The picture he chose to use is more commonly refered to as the “navy hold” or the 12 o’clock hold, not the frame hold. One way to use the frame hold is to use a front sight that is just as wide as the target frame at 600 yards. Then you bring your sight up until it is even with the bottom of the frame (which is usually the top of the berm) and ensure your front sight is even with the sides of the frame. Then you know you are at the same place on the taregt. The big problem with this hold is IF the pit pig doesn’t run the target up the same every time then you will lose points high and low that you can’t account for. I know, because I used a bottom frame hold for many years, and had to learn the hard way. With better glasses I have gone back to a center mass hold with some sucsess. Nice article though.
