 Rear Sights
The rear sight is attached to the barrel a short distance from the breech; it has a movable part, capable of being adjusted for different elevations of the barrel. A sight should satisfy the following conditions, viz.: 1st, it should be easily adjusted for all distances within effective range; 2d, the form of the notch should permit the eye to catch the object quickly; 3d, it should not be easily deranged by accidents.
