A sighting system for a shooting device, such as an archery bow or a
firearm, includes front and rear sights. The front sight includes a front
sight frame that defines a front sight window therein. A rear sight
includes a rear sight frame that defines a rear sight window therein. A
rear face of the front sight frame, the face oriented toward the rear
sight, includes an indicium, such as a luminous ring, formed thereon. The
rear sight frame is of a size such that the luminous ring is at least
partially obstructed in a first manner by the rear sight frame when the
shooting device is properly aimed at a target and is at least partially
obstructed in a second manner when improperly aimed.
