A sight configured to properly align a weapon in the left and right direction and in the vertical direction with respect to a target without the need to separately range the target. In particular, once the shooter aligns indicia on the site with structure on the target the weapon is properly aligned and ready firing. Knowledge of the distance between the shooter and the target is not necessary to adjust for projectile drop. Related method of use and manufacture are also provided.
1. A sight comprising:
a sight window;
a first indicia located at a Y 1 location and at a X 1 location in the sight window;
a second indicia located at the Y 1 location and a X 2 location in the sight window;
a third indicia located at a Y 2 location and a X 3 location in the sight window;
a fourth indicia located at the Y 2 location and a X 4 location in the sight window;
a fifth indicia located on a first curved path defined between the first indicia and the third indicia;
a sixth indicia located on a second curved path defined between the second indicia and the fourth indicia;
wherein the Y 1 location is above the Y 2 location and the distance between the X 1 location and the X 2 location is greater than the distance between the X 3 location and X 4 location;
wherein a midpoint between the X 1 location and the X 2 location is vertically aligned with a midpoint between the X 3 location and the X 4 location;
wherein the curvature of the first and second curved paths are correlated to an expected projectile speed; and
wherein the indicia are located on a first rib and a second rib that are opposed and curve away from each other, wherein lower end portions of the first and second ribs are closer together than upper end portions of the first and second ribs.
2. The sight of claim 1 ,
wherein the first indicia, third indicia and fifth indicia are provided on a first rib; and
wherein the second indicia, fourth indicia and sixth indicia are provided on a second rib.
3. The sight of claim 1 , wherein the first and second ribs are the only structures provided in the sight window.
4. The sight of claim 1 ,
further comprising a sight window frame position around at least a portion of a periphery of the sight window, the sight window frame including at least a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein a first rib extends from the bottom portion of the sight window frame to the top portion of the sight window frame and a second rib extends from the bottom portion of the sight window frame to the top portion of the sight window frame.
5. The sight of claim 4 , further comprising a protective sight body, wherein the sight window frame is configured to be removable received within the protective sight body.
6. The sight of claim 1 ,
wherein the first indicia is provided at a distal end of a first pin and second indicia are provided on a distal end of a second pin; and
wherein the third indicia is provided at a distal end of a third pin and fourth indicia is provided at a distal end of a fourth pin.
7. The sight of claim 6 , wherein the first, second, third and fourth pins extend inwardly from a periphery portion of the sight window and are adjustable.
8. The sight of claim 1 ,
wherein the first, second, third and fourth indicia are provided on a transparent material located within the sight window.
9. The sight of claim 8 , wherein the first, second, third and fourth indicia are etched in a rigid transparent material.
10. The sight of claim 8 , wherein the first, second, third and fourth indicia are printed on a flexible transparent material.
11. A sight comprising:
horizontally spaced apart indicia within a sight window arranged such when horizontally opposed indicia are centered around a target of a known size the sight simultaneously adjusts both for windage as well as the distance between the target and the sight,
wherein the horizontally opposed indicia are provided on two spaced apart ribs, wherein each rib has a continuous curve in a direction away from each other.
12. The sight of claim 11 , further comprising
a protective sight body that is configured to receive an insert, wherein the insert includes the horizontally spaced indicia and is removable secured within the protective sight body.
13. The sight of claim 11 , wherein there are at least two sets of horizontally opposed indicia each set corresponding to a different size target.
14. The sight of claim 11 , wherein the spaced apart ribs define an unobstructed viewing space therebetween.
15. The sight of claim 11 , wherein the sight window is borderless.
16. The sight of claim 12 , wherein the sight window includes a border that is defined by a periphery body portion of the insert.
17. The sight of claim 11 , wherein the sight is configured such that centering vitals of an elk between the horizontally opposed indicia simultaneously adjust for both windage and elevation without any requiring further adjustment to the sight.
