Most artillery is aimed by looking through a sight at an candy-striped aiming post. The sight is then offset from the aiming post as ordered by the Fire Direction Center.

When the artillery is fired, the sight is rechecked to make sure the gun hasn't moved. If it has, the post is re-sighted before firing again.
