So I never really took the time to practice with irons at all on rifles. Always just went lazy and bought an optic immediately.
I recently had a "shtf" rifle built and decided I needed irons for the redundancy, plus maybe because they look cool.
So something I'm wondering though is about my cheek weld with this setup and if what I've been doing is a no no for some reason I can't really see yet?
Instead of buying a lower 1/3 riser for the Holosun I've just been keeping my head higher and letting the dot sit above the irons, rather hunkering down and keeping them both on target.
I'm changing the optic out on this soon for a different one that will be higher no matter what so it won't matter for this rifle but I'm going to throw a set of these irons on another rifle that this optic will go on as well so I want to know for future reference if this could cause some kind of issue I'm not quite aware of.
I tried taking a pic to show what exactly I'm talking about. The difference between my pic and what I'm seeing is the dot isn't as close to the optics hood. I couldn't balance it and get the pic I wanted holding my phone upside down. When I do this the circle is right above the front sight post basically touching the side protectors (the Y part)
