You're right, consistency is the end game, however you need to understand how to use different sight pictures. If your rifle is accurate, there is absolutely no reason you cannot hit the center of the bullseye every single time with a 6 o'clock hold, if you're keeping that sight picture consistent.

Aperture sights work the same way. You need to line up the rear sight, front sight, and target, while trying to consistently keep everything centered.

Same thing with a rifle scope!(well, you only have 2 planes to deal with... target and reticle, compared to 3 planes)
Well the rear aperture sight is actually a little easier. When you look through it, you can actually look through it at any angle and it won't change point of impact. The rear aperture acts as your eye and the front post will be similar to targeting a shotgun.

This also helps people with vision problems as well as the small aperture helps focus on the target.
