In the recommended sighting method, which sighting system is used after bringing the weapon to eye level?

• A. No sights
• B. Rear sights
• C. Front sights
• D. Optics

Answer: (C)

Focusing on the front sight establishes the proper sight picture. After lifting the weapon to eye level, you bring the front sight into the rear sight notch and align them with the target. Your aim is to keep the front sight sharp while the rear sight and target appear slightly blurred. This front-sight focus gives a consistent reference point for alignment, which leads to repeatable accuracy and speed. Using no sights would rely on instinctive aiming, which is less reliable for precision; relying on the rear sight alone eliminates the essential front reference; optics would change the system entirely and isn’t the basic method described here.
