sikteåpning
A sikteåpning, often translated as "sight opening" or "aperture sight," is a crucial component in aiming systems, particularly in firearms and archery. It functions as a rear sight, presenting a small, precisely sized hole or aperture through which the user aligns the front sight or target. The principle behind its effectiveness lies in the optical phenomenon of the human eye naturally aligning concentric circles. When viewing a target through a sikteåpning, the eye tends to center the opening around the front sight or the desired point of impact, thereby simplifying the aiming process and enhancing accuracy.
Sikteåpninger come in various designs. Some are fixed, offering a single aperture size for a specific range
