What does "sighting-in" refer to in rifle shooting?

  1. Looking through the sights quickly.

  2. Shooting without aiming.

  3. "Sighting-in" is a process of adjusting the sights to hit a target at a specific range.

  4. Shooting with both eyes closed.

The correct answer is: "Sighting-in" is a process of adjusting the sights to hit a target at a specific range.

"Sighting-in" refers to the process of adjusting the sights on a rifle to ensure that the bullets will hit a specific target at a specific range. This is done by carefully adjusting the sights so that they are aligned with the trajectory of the bullets. Option A is incorrect because simply looking through the sights quickly does not involve the careful adjustment of the sights. Option B is incorrect because shooting without aiming would not result in accurate shots. Option D is incorrect because shooting with both eyes closed would also not result in accurate shots. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
