> I was told once by a proficient pistol shooter that he ignored where the front sight was on the target, and paid attention only to the alignment of the two sights relative to each other. Since he did in fact hit the target,

is the "two sights" here the rear sight which has two posts, or the two sites as in front sight + rear sight?

several pages of reading and then .. an ambiguously worded conclusion.

[mgarfias]

He means the front sight and rear sight.

[function_seven]

He means the sights. Like you said, the rear site is composed of two posts, the front sight has one post.
