Aperture sight

A rear sight device used on rifles and shotguns that features a thick-rimmed aperture with a small opening mounted on the firearm's receiver to provide a high degree of shooting accuracy. However, it is difficult to use in dim lighting conditions, especially if an extremely small opening target type aperture is used.
