Abstract
When a shooter aims down the slide of semi auto handgun needs to align the front sight between the two posts of the rear sight. This is the hardest thing for an instructor to correct not being able to see what the student is looking at. This aid will provide a reference point for the shooter to keep the front sight below, this helps promote proper sight acquisition. This is a plastic hood that slides over top of the rear sight and over the slide. The shooter is able to shoot with this aid on the firearm.

- a first planar surface configured to abut alongside at least a first portion of a firearm;
- a second planar surface opposite the first surface configured to abut alongside a second portion of the firearm opposite the first portion of the firearm;
- a third planar surface joining the first and second planar surfaces thereby forming a substantially U-shaped training aid by the first, second, and third planar surfaces, wherein the third planar surface abuts alongside a third portion of the firearm between the first portion and the second portion of the firearm;
- a window formed in the third planar portion configured to receive a rear sight of the firearm;
