Switched from iron sights to an LPVO

Jett · Mar 6, 2026

I switched to an LPVO this year from iron sights and it felt like cheating for about a week then I stopped caring and started shooting better. Progress is progress..

Once you switch, iron sights feel like training wheels. LPVO just makes hitting stuff feel unfairly easy.

I did the same thing and felt the same way. The first few times at the range, it felt like the game was playing easy mode. When I got used to it, my hits went up..for sure.

Give it a week and suddenly it’s not cheating, it’s just clarity...hard to argue with actually seeing what you’re aiming at.

That's a Low Power Variable Optic..basically a scope with adjustable magnification, typically 1x to 4x, 6x, or 8x.

LPVOs feel like cheating until you realize everyone else already joined the cheating class too.

Yeah, it’s funny, it truly feels like cheating right up until you’re the only one without it.
