Bats are nocturnal animals, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day. They also tend to live in very dark places. Because they usually fly in the dark, sight would not help them much (because you can't see without light). Echolocation can be used without light, so bats use it to help them fly inplaces where they can't see.

Are nocternal animals eye sight the only developed sense they have?

No, depending on what type of animal. Bats, for example, are nocturnal animals but they use echolocation, so it would count as the touch sense, and the smell sense. Other animals, and jungle cats, use scent and sight, mostly to hunt prey and get around. Of course they have the other senses, they just might not be as sharp or useful as their eye sight.

Assuming you mean a Mauser 24/47, use the sight as you would any open rifle sight. The slider on the rear sight adjusts for range- marked in meters.
