Agree. When 3 gun was the game in town, I competed in Tac-Iron since I am a cheapskate and the chances to get to the prize table were better in that sparsely attended division.
My AR had a 1 MOA RMR09 mounted mid receiver. With the brightness cranked up it was easy to quickly acquire close-up targets in any lighting, even against the sun.
For longer shots I popped up the co-witnessing rear sight with a smaller than standard aperture (Don't remember the exact diameter right now). That cleared up the dot nicely to a perfect red circle without bloom.
One of the local ranges had a 300 yard range that they would always throw in the 3 gun matches. I addressed that with a pop-up front sight (cross hair in a ring) that was zeroed at 300.
Plenty of fellow competitors expressed their surprise about the capabilities of this cheap, light, robust and streamlined/concealable set-up.
Also keep in mind that the first miss was caused by Trump moving his head in the right moment -Thank God- and that the shooter would have hit a static steel target on that 'stage'.
