Rife Sights.

The average person. if asked to ex-
plain why q rifle is sighted, would
probably be unable to do so beyond
some vague remark about taking cor
rect aim.
Sights are necessary becauSe bull
let does not travel in straight line,
but under the influence of gravity and
friction begins 10 drop almost as soon
as it leaves the muzzle. Thus the
bullet of our service rifle Lee-En-
fteld) drops six inches in the first
100 yeards, but when it has gone 20O
yards it will have dropped. not II
inches, but two feet. The drop in
cseases by leaps and bounds with the
distance. Were there no sights on
the rife and you wanted to hit
mark at 200 yards, you would clearly
have to aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward, for you
would lose sight of the object aimed
at, to say nothing of the difficulty OF
correctly estimating distance OF
two feet at 200 yards.
The sights of q rifle enable you to
keep your eye on the mark, although
the muzzie of the rife Is actually
pointing above it. The movable
slide of the backsight enables you
automatically to point the muzzle
Just so many feet above the mark
aimed at as is necessary to counter
act the known drop Of the bullet al
various ranges.-London Answers.
