What is the purpose of the 'front sight' in the shooting cycle?

The purpose of the 'front sight' in the shooting cycle is to align the target with the aiming point. In marksmanship, the front sight is a critical component of the sighting process, allowing the shooter to focus on both the target and the front sight simultaneously. Proper alignment between the front sight and the target ensures accuracy in shooting. The shooter typically aligns the front sight to be centered under the target while also ensuring the rear sight is in proper position, creating a straight line of sight to enhance precision. This alignment helps the shooter maintain focus and execute a more accurate shot, making it an essential element in achieving successful shooting results.
