When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

längere Visierlinie
Der gewünschte Auftreffpunkt des Geschosses muss hierbei meist wegen Abweichungen in der Ballistik durch den Haltepunkt korrigiert werden. Bei einer offenen Visierung verläuft die Visierlinie über Kimme und Korn, bei Dioptervisierungen über Lochkimme und Ringkorn, bei Zielfernrohren meist über ein Fadenkreuz zum Ziel.
Je länger die Waffe ist, desto weiter können Kimme und Korn konstruktionsbedingt auseinanderliegen. Hierdurch werden genauere Korrekturen der Visierlinie möglich, wodurch präziser gezielt werden kann.

Your sight plane is the line between your eye and the target. The end of the barrel should touch this line. How the front sight and middle sight configure when you look down the rib has nothing to do with a sight plane.
