SUGGESTED SIGHT PICTURE
FOR V-NOTCH REAR SIGHTS
(Ruger Mark III Hunter Models)
A v-notch express sight is
designed to be used as a point of
aim/point of impact sighting
system. The recommended sight
picture for this type of system is to
place the round front sight bead,
regardless of the size of the bead,
at the bottom of the v-notch in the
rear sight. The front sight bead
should be pointed directly at the
intended target.
