Arcs are useful, giving you the option to decide which results you want:

Very informative! Thank Andy!

I did choose poorly. The terminology associated with geometry was never my strong suit.

My thanks to the Almighty Johnsons!

By accuracy I meant that with lower sights there would be less of an arc in trajectory, so bullet drop would be easier to compensate for. I do know and understand that with any shot there will be a convergence point where line of sight meets bullet trajectory, a distance after that where the bullet would actually hit the target higher than line of sight, and a point where it comes back down to line of sight and continues to drop after that.

I was just thinking that lowering the angle of intersection would flatten out the arc.

Speaking of sights:
Why is the line-of-sight on modern AR sights so far above the receiver/Barrel line?
Wouldn't they be more accurate if lower and more in line with the barrel?
