Publication number: 20230408224Abstract: A rear gunsight rear gunsight connects to a rear of a gun. A front gunsight connects to a front of the gun. The rear gunsight includes a sight longitudinal axis. The rear gunsight and a straight sight line are optimally aligned relative to each other when the sight longitudinal axis is substantially coextensive with said straight sight line. Further when the rear gunsight and straight sight line are optimally aligned, the straight sight line extends through a lens of said rear gunsight and through an end face of an elongated light collector of said rear gunsight. When the straight sight line and rear gunsight are optimally aligned, the straight sight line is also optimally aligned with the front gunsight. Further the straight sight line and a longitudinal axis of the gun barrel extend in side by side parallel relation. When the rear gunsight and the straight sight line are optimally aligned relative to each other, a bright reference point appears in a hollow tube of the rear gunsight.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: HiViz, LLCInventors: Phillip D. Howe, Bradley R. Smith
