Minnesota Firearms Safety Hunter Education Practice Exam

Which type of sight is most accurate and gives the best view of the target?

1. Open sights

2. Peep sights

3. Telescopic sights

4. Laser sights

The correct answer is: Telescopic sights

Telescopic sights, also known as scopes, are the most accurate type of sight and provide the best view of the target. Open sights, also known as iron sights, are basic and do not have magnification or any aiming aids, making them less accurate. Peep sights, also known as aperture sights, are more accurate than open sights but still do not have magnification. Laser sights project a laser beam onto the target, which can be affected by weather conditions and may not provide an accurate view of the target. While it can be useful for rapid target acquisition, it is not as accurate as telescopic sights.
