Which type of sighting system most assists in compensating for the effect of gravity on a bullet's path?

Laser sights
Telescopic sights
Iron sights
Red dot sights

The correct answer is: Telescopic sights

Telescopic sights are the most effective type of sighting system for compensating for the effect of gravity on a bullet's path. This is because telescopic sights provide magnification, allowing the shooter to see the target and surrounding area more clearly and accurately. The other options, laser sights, iron sights, and red dot sights, do not offer the same level of magnification and precision, making it more difficult to accurately adjust for bullet drop due to gravity. Furthermore, laser sights and red dot sights are designed for quick target acquisition, rather than long-range accuracy, and iron sights do not provide any magnification at all. Therefore, telescopic sights are the preferred choice for shooters looking to compensate for gravity when firing at long distances.
