I did a bit more practice with the buckhorn with both eyes open--the problem is now that I've "brain trained" my eyes to ignore the ghost when sighting with both eyes open--when using the buckhorn the rear sight vanishes altogether and only the front is in focus. Problem with that is that I still need the rear ghost image to get an elevation reference point--even though main focus on the front iron is what I want to do. I've progressed to the point that a "slight squint" can keep enough of a blurred ghost of the rear leaf for elevation reference without going to full one-eye-closed. I'm sure a rear aperture or peep would eliminate the issue altogether--but I'm interested in trying to adapt to the "factory stock" buckhorn, just for the heck of it.
