Abstract:
1. A method of aiming a handheld firearm at a target with proximal and distal sights, said method comprising the steps of: (a) holding the firearm at a sight relief distance between the user and the proximal sight equal to or greater than about 18 inches; (b) sighting the target with the proximal and distal sights so that the proximal and distal sights cooperatively present a sight picture, with the sight picture including generally inner and outer windows, said proximal sight presenting a generally inward facing proximal sighting surface and a generally outward facing proximal sighting surface, said distal sight including inner and outer elements, said outer element presenting a generally inward facing distal sighting surface, with the inward facing distal sighting surface and outward facing proximal sighting surface cooperatively forming the outer window, said inner element presenting a generally outward facing distal sighting surface, with the outward facing distal sighting surface and inward facing proximal sighting surface cooperatively forming the inner window; and (c) positioning the firearm so that the window thickness dimension is substantially the same for both the inner and outer windows.
