When aiming a firearm, your focus should be on:

The target.
The front sight.
The rear sight.
Both the front and rear sights equally.

The correct answer is: The front sight.

Focusing on the front sight when aiming a firearm is crucial for accurate shooting. The front sight is typically the point of reference that aligns with the target. By concentrating your vision on the front sight, you ensure that it is properly aligned with the rear sight and the target itself. This focus helps create a clear sight picture, allowing for better precision and control while shooting. While it is important to have awareness of both the target and the rear sight, prioritizing the front sight helps maintain clarity in your aim. When you properly focus on the front sight, it allows for the required depth perception and alignment, which ultimately leads to more accurate shots.
