People do this in uspsa comps while training themselves and still place top 5 or win. I would not do it for precision work (sitting behind the sight), but for reactive- mid or fast paced shooting it should be fine for a/c zone hits to decent distsnce... hell ive hit 8" targets consistently at 60 with no sights on a rifle, occluded would be much better.
I'm doing it because there were tenured members claiming that you'll be 12" plus off target at 25y if you use an occluded sight.

I am 100% confident that's not true, but am gathering the necessary target data to support the hypothesis. I'm mostly curious to see how far it can be pushed more than anything. Magnified optics are coming later this week.
