![]() The rear sight is too close to the eye to see clearly. This is true for two reasons: First, your eye can only focus on one element of a sight picture at a time. When aiming, your eye should always be focused on the front sight. If movement is necessary, move the gun, the shooter and the aligned sights as a unit. To do this, imagine extending the line that defines sight alignment until it touches the target at the desired point of aim. ![]() Once the sights are aligned, we find a sight picture. Finally, when the front and rear sights are apertures, the eye looks at the front aperture centered in the rear. When the rear sight eyepiece is an aperture, proper alignment will put the center of the top of the front sight in the center of the rear aperture. The top of the blade should appear even with a line extending across the top of the rear sight notch. With open sights, having a square rear notch and a Patridge front blade, such as are found on most pistols, the properly aligned front sight should be centered in the rear sight notch, side to side. Intro: The eye is lined up with the top of the front sight, and the location of the rear sight is adjusted (this means moving the gun, and perhaps the head), until an imaginary line between the eye and the front sight passes through the rear sight at the proper spot.
