Sighting system and method of using thereof

A method of using a sighting system mounted on a barrel of a firearm, comprising:

• providing front and rear sights having front and rear casings, wherein a first surface of each of the front and rear casings face a viewer and wherein a second surface of each of the front and rear casings faces away from the viewer, wherein each of the casings encloses an opening, wherein center points of the front opening D and the rear opening E lie on a first line, wherein the first line extends from a point F on a surface G of an at least one eye K of the viewer to the center point D of the front opening of the front sight to a point B that is a proximal end of the first line, with respect to a target, wherein the point B defines an end of a second line that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the barrel and extends from the point B to a point A that is a proximal end of the longitudinal axis of the barrel of the firearm, with respect to a target, wherein a segment of the first line that extends from a point F on the surface G of the at least one eye K of the viewer to the center E of the rear sight of the firearm has a length from about ⅓ to about ⅔ of the length of the first line, and
• aiming the firearm at the target by aligning the points “D” and “E” of the front and rear openings of the front and rear sight, respectively, at the center T′ of the target T,
• wherein aligning the points “D” and “E” of the front and rear openings of the front and rear sights, respectively, include having the viewer superimpose the points D and E of the front and rear openings of the front and the rear sights over the center T′ of the target T.

A sighting system for mounting on a barrel of a firearm, comprising:

• front and rear sights having front and rear casings, wherein a first surface of each of the front and rear casings face a viewer and wherein a second surface of each of the front and rear casings faces away from the viewer, wherein each of the casings encloses an opening, wherein center points of the front opening D and the rear opening E lie on a first line that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the barrel of the firearm, wherein a proximal end of the first line with respect to a target lies on a second line, wherein the second line is defined by the proximal end of the first line and a proximal end of the longitudinal axis of the barrel, with respect to a target, wherein a proximal end of a segment of the first line, with respect to the target, that extends from the center point D to the center point E of the front and rear sights is from about 0.1 inch to about 4 inches from the proximal end of the first line, such that when the target has a longest dimension less than or equal to 36 inches, an area of an image of the target, as viewed through the front and rear sights, along the first line, does not exceed a total area of the front sight, and wherein both the front and the rear sights are operably coupled to a track or railing, and wherein the track or railing is operably coupled to a first surface of the barrel.
