The Problem with Traditional Iron Sights
In a high-stress encounter, seconds matter. Traditional iron sights force you to choose between speed and precision. Fast-acquisition sights work great up close but fall apart at distance. Precision sights excel at range but slow you down when threats appear suddenly. Until now, shooters had to pick one or the other.
Red dot sights seem like the answer. However, many shooters lose the dot entirely under stress. Studies show users can spend 2-3 extra seconds searching for a misaligned reticle. In a defensive situation, that delay can cost your life.
The Dual Picture Sight Solution
North Forest Arms Dual Picture Sights solve this problem with an innovative two-in-one design. These gun sights give you two sight pictures in one system. Use the circular rear aperture for fast, instinctive alignment during close-range encounters. Then switch to the traditional notch-and-post picture for precise shots at longer distances.
The secret is simple human biology. Your eye naturally wants to center circles. The Dual Picture system uses this reflex to speed up target acquisition. Most shooters see immediate improvement without any additional training.
Proven Performance Gains
Independent testing confirms what users already know. Shooters using these sights achieved 19% faster target acquisition than traditional iron sights. They also showed 21% better accuracy on average. These results came from first-time users with zero prior experience with the system.
This design works because it removes conscious effort from sight alignment. Your natural reflexes do the work instead. This matters most when adrenaline floods your system and fine motor skills degrade.
Built for Daylight Performance
These Dual Picture Sights feature a high-contrast white front post for maximum visibility in daylight conditions. The white insert delivers fast target acquisition without tritium illumination. This makes them ideal for competition shooting, range training, or shooters who prefer non-glowing gun sights.
Black nitride-coated steel construction resists corrosion and handles hard use. Whether you train regularly or compete in action shooting sports, these iron sights deliver consistent performance. The rugged steel body withstands daily use, holster wear, and environmental exposure. As a result, you get reliable gun sights that perform when it matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dual Picture sights replace traditional three-dot iron sights with a circular rear aperture and a high-visibility front post.
