What is the proper way to aim a firearm?

Focus on the target, align the sight, then the barrel
Focus on the rear sight, then the front sight, then the target
Focus on the front sight, then the target, then the rear sight
Focus on the front sight, align the rear sight, then the target

The correct answer is: Focus on the front sight, align the rear sight, then the target

The proper way to aim a firearm is to focus on the front sight, align the rear sight, and then the target. This ensures that the shooter has a clear and accurate view of the sights and the target. Option A is incorrect because the shooter should not focus solely on the target, as this can cause them to lose sight of their alignment. Option B is incorrect because the rear sight is used as a reference point, so focusing on it first can throw off the shot. Option C is incorrect because the rear sight should be aligned with the front sight before focusing on the target. By focusing on the front sight first, the shooter can ensure proper alignment and accuracy.
