1. A method of making an illuminated sighting system for a firearm, comprising:
providing a first light conductive member having a first light conductive member first end which provides a first light conductive member viewing end;
said first light conductive member configured to (i) receive light from one or more light sources, and (ii) transmit at least a portion of said light internally toward said first light conductive member viewing end for emission as a first amount of emitted light which provides a first viewable aiming indicium that indicates alignment of said firearm with a target;
disposing a second light conductive member viewing end of a second light conductive member about said first light conductive member viewing end, said second light conductive member having a second light conductive member first end which provides said second light conductive member viewing end;
said second light conductive member configured to (i) receive light from one or more light sources, and (ii) transmit at least a portion of said light internally toward said second light conductive member viewing end for emission as a second amount of emitted light which provides a second viewable aiming indicium that indicates misalignment of said firearm with said target; and
operably coupling a lens to said first and second light conductive member viewing ends;
wherein said lens disposes in axially spaced-apart relation to said first and second light conductive member viewing ends.
