Abstract:
1. A method for rapidly and accurately sighting a firearm, including the steps of: identifying a front sight attached to a firearm, the front sight having a target point defined by a vertex between a first target point edge line and a second target point edge line, the first target point edge line located on a left side of the target point and extending at least visually up and to the right until the first target point end line terminates at the target point, the second target point end line located on a right side of the target point and extending at least visually up and to the left until the second target point end line terminates at the target point; the front sight having an alignment point taken from the group of points including the target point and a lateral alignment point spaced from the target point; the alignment point defined by a vertex between a first alignment point edge line and a second alignment point edge line; identifying a rear sight attached to the firearm, the rear sight having at least one rear lateral sighting point, the rear lateral sighting point defined by a vertex between a first rear lateral sighting point edge line and a second rear lateral sighting point edge line, the first rear lateral sighting point edge line and the second rear lateral sighting point edge line oriented non-parallel with each other; identifying the front sight and the rear sight arranged upon the firearm with a sight line between the target point and a target that is parallel with a centerline of a barrel of the firearm when the center line of the barrel is aligned with the target; aiming the firearm by visually touching the at least one rear lateral sighting point of the rear sight with the alignment point of the front sight and visually touching the target point with the target; wherein said identifying a front sight step includes the first target point edge line and the second target point edge line each being straight; wherein said identifying a rear sight step includes the first and second rear lateral sighting point edge lines being straight; and wherein said identifying a rear sight step includes identifying a pair of similar rear sighting points on either side of the front sight each of the rear sighting points defined by vertices between first rear lateral sighting point edge lines and second rear lateral sight point edge lines, each of the rear sighting points extending toward each other.
