Problems solved by technology

However, since such sights typically have a single reticle that must be adjusted on the fly for different target distances, the user's ability to quickly superimpose the reflex dot on a target at varying distances is limited.
However, due to their complicated shape, the fiber optics can be difficult to manipulate, shape and position on the sight housing, leading to increased manufacturing time and expense.
Again, such sights only provide a single reflex dot and therefore limit the user's ability to quickly position the dot on a target at varying distances.
However, many of these sights unduly obscure a user's view of the target and / or may not be separately adjustable to accommodate a user's particular firearm, bow, arrow type and shooting style for varying target distances or heights.
Some of these vertically stacked sights are not illuminated and therefore may be difficult to use in low light conditions.
In addition, such sights only compensate varying target distances for a particular projectile and firearm.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring to the drawings, and to FIG. 1 in particular, an illuminated sighting device 10 in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. The sighting device 10 preferably includes a base member 12 with a bracket assembly 14 and a sight assembly 16 connected to the base member. The bracket assembly 14 is adapted for attaching the sight assembly 16 to a projectile launching device such as a crossbow (not shown) or the like. However, it will be understood that the sighting device 10 may be adapted for use with any projectile launching device such as a bow, pellet gun, BB gun, rifle, pistol, paint marker, and so on. Likewise, the sighting device 10 can be used with other devices such as telescopes, sighting scopes, and so on, in order to quickly align the device with a distal target or scene.

[0025]The bracket assembly 14 is preferably of conventional construction and includes opposing mounting bars 15 (only one shown) that extend longitudinally and together form a doveta...

Abstract

An illuminated sighting device includes a reflective sight component with a reflective surface for facing a user and an adjustable imaging component with a plurality of reticles. Each reticle has a unique trajectory compensation pattern including a plurality of reticle marks that denote a plurality of distances for a particular projectile launching device and / or projectile. A light source is arranged for projecting light through a selected one of the reticles and onto the reflective sight component so that reflective sight marks are incident on the reflective sight component in proportion to the reticle marks of the selected reticle for view by a user during aiming

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to sighting devices for cross bows, archery bows, firearms, or other projectile launching devices, and more particularly to a sighting device having trajectory compensating sight marks for superimposing on a target during aiming.[0002]Reflex sights typically include a partially reflective lens and a battery-powered light source that projects light onto the reflective lens to define a reflex dot which is superimposed on a target as viewed through the lens. However, since such sights typically have a single reticle that must be adjusted on the fly for different target distances, the user's ability to quickly superimpose the reflex dot on a target at varying distances is limited.[0003]In an effort to overcome these problems, several improvements have been proposed. By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,924,234, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,653,034 disclose reflex sights with either a fluorescent-doped fiber optic or light pipe that ...
