open sight
Open sight is a type of sighting mechanism used on firearms and other devices, which consists of a rear notch or ring and a front bead or post, allowing the user to align the device with the intended target. The use of open sight involves lining up two points (front and rear sight) on a gun with the target in focus. Its simplicity makes it reliable, easy to use and suitable for short to mid range shooting.
