During proper sighting, where should you focus your eyes?

• A. On the target.
• B. On the rear sight.
• C. On the front sight; the target should be slightly blurred, with the rear sight in alignment.
• D. On the muzzle.

Answer: (C)

When aiming, fix your vision on the front sight. The front sight becomes the sharp anchor for your sight alignment, with the rear sight properly aligned around it. The target will appear a little blurred because it’s farther away, and the rear sight will be in the background but still aligned with the front. This focus pattern—front sight crisp, target and rear sight blurred—gives you a consistent, repeatable alignment for accurate shots. If you try to focus on the target or the rear sight, the front sight loses its sharpness, breaking alignment and making accuracy harder.
