Generally speaking, the wider and the shallower the V in the backsight the better for snap-shooting, but beyond a certain point this shape makes it difficult to ensure taking the centre of the sight. The silver line or the ivory pyramid with which the standard is frequently inlaid very much assists in getting the centre quickly. -^^ A very gootl form ot backsight is a modification of the style frequently used in German rifles, viz. a wide shallow V having a small rounded nick and a fine line d(jwn the centre (see fig. 21)..
