How does one aim a rifle with no sights?

I'm for 100% equality and stand behind her without hesitation. The photo boggles my mind and don't pass the smell test.

rifle that the gun store associated with the shooting range had for sale? Just guessing....

Same goes for photoshopping. There's an important story about this person.

It's quite possible- the article states that her target was 12 yards away

But I'm not trying to hit a target beyond 21 feet.

I decided long ago that there's no way I'll be able to put in the training to instinctively use the sights when dealing with a meth head hell bent on mayhem who has broken into my house. Faced with such an antagonist, instinct will most likely take over and I'll be blind to everything but the antagonist.

Same idea. My place is small so my longest shot is less than 30 feet or so, if I fire down the hallway from one room to another.

The laser sight lines up with the sights at about 20 feet, so within my home the bullet will impact an inch above or below the dot.

I still have sights, Tru-Glo sights, because shit happens.

My house is good size but the rooms aren't that big. The only place I would ever be shooting over 20 feet would be if I stood against one wall of the dining room and looking past the foyer at the opposite wall in the living room about 25 feet away or vice versa and it wouldn't even be that big of an area.

That's the main reason I see no purpose in having a rifle or carbine for home defense.

...similar to a shotgun.

I guess that would work at close range, but yeah, I'd put sights on it. Probably a red-dot sight.

...is probably hanging in a 25 yard lane which wouldn't really require much in way of aiming. I was never an expert shot but I could place a shot within a 2 cm circle using iron sights on an M-1 Garand at 100 ft. AR-15s have an accurate range over 10 times that distance. Hitting a silhouette where the 2 visible shots in the third picture appear wouldn't require any sights. The target looks to be hanging at 7 yards in the first picture. At that range I would think a first time shooter could hit the black (or pink as the case may be) with no sights wearing mittens.

I suspect this photo session was planned for indoors because it sometimes snows in SLC in November. I infer that since the article was published on the 27th, the interview was a week or 2 ahead. The range may have been closed by arrangement for this interview.

TNT is next to the Utah Highway Patrol and has a few options for lanes including 100 yard lanes. These pictures were taken in a 25 yard booth. Looks like a really nice range.



Smell test: maybe staged YMMV
