Peep sight question
What is the specific name for iron sights that use a open/peep style sight on both the rear AND front in which the intent is to focus on the target?

Front and rear aperture sights?

Receiver sights?

Not sure there is a specific name. Dual aperture usually refers to a rear sight that has a second flip up aperture, usually of different size or set for a different range. Enclosed front sights can be hooded or a globe style with changeable inserts. I have had target rifles with that system and they were advertised as a target receiver sight plus globe front sight. Bob

My Accura is mounted with Williams precision sights. The rear is called an aperture sight, the front is called a globe sight, which is not unlike a Winchester hooded site. It has targeting inserts, and can be set up with fiber optic inserts.

I have always referred to such a setup as tang and globe sights. But if you want a specific name, I guess tangandglobe will work. 🙂
