I've used this as targets for years and it works, and helps break the code for new guys. Dropping down to the MDA of 800 feet compounds the problem. It is a rare occurance that this approach is assigned with less than 1200 and better than 3 miles.
Agree 100%. Going down to 800' when you already have the leadin lights insight, especially on VFR or CAFB days, makes an enjoyable approach a highwork load approach.

And then they bitch and bitch about the approach.

Me thinks it's the carpenter, not the tools....
