Making sure you have your bodies "natural point of aim" is key to any rifle shooting. Many shooters forget to place the buttstock in the crook of their shoulder. Their grip is either too strong or too weak on the file. They are twisted up like a pretzel and are fighting mussels that should be at rest.
We shoot open sights out to 1,000 yards and the AR platform has a disadvantage of the sights being so high above the bore of the rifle. i drill into to them to make sure that the rifle is not canted. The horizon is used to make sure the sights are truly 90 degs to the plain. When the sights are aligned and centered the rest is up to them to put rounds on target.
Scopes are not allowed in my club and the shooters have so much fun using the open sights, they don't want to use scopes anymore.
