Abstract

A system and method for providing multiple sights includes a number of sights that are attached to a sight assembly. The sight assembly is securable to a firearm and configured such that a shooter can selectively utilize one of the number of sights tailored for number of respective distances. Preferably, the sights are connected such that moving one sight out of a shooting line of sight brings another sight into the shooting line of sight. Such a sight assembly allows a shooter to quickly configure a firearm for accurate shooting at a variety of distances.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a firearm sight and, more particularly, to a sight assembly having multiple independent oculars or sights.[0002]Fire arm sight assemblies generally include an ocular or sight that is attached to the firearm to assist the shooter with aligning the bore of the firearm with an intended target. Commonly, the shooter adjusts either the sight relative to the firearm, or the orientation of the sight relative to the target, to accommodate different shooting conditions. For example, if a projectile will be subjected to a crossing wind during the travel of the projectile to the target, the shooter can lateral translate the sight relative to the bore of the firearm, or simply aim the firearm at a sight that is offset from an intended projectile impact area. These variations in lateral alignment of the sight and / or the firearm with the intended target are commonly referred to as windage adjustments.[0003]Another type of...
