Patridge sights and related methods
View Patent ↗Disclosed is an improved open sight that may be operated as a Patridge sight and point-on-point sight.
1. A method of sighting a target comprising the steps of:
obtaining a firearm with an open sight defined by a forward sight and a rear sight;
transforming the open sight to a point-on-point sight by (a) manipulating the forward sight to expose a first point and (b) manipulating the rear sight to expose a second point; and,
superimposing the first and second points on a target.
2. A method of claim 1 wherein:
the forward sight is defined by a post that (i) internally features the first point and (ii) features a window for viewing the first point;
the rear sight is defined by a stationary upright and a slidable upright wherein moving the slidable upright relative to the stationary upright exposes the second point;
exposing the first point of the forward sight is accomplished via rotating the post so that the window is directed toward the rear sight; and,
exposing the second point of the rear sight is accomplished via moving the slidable upright relative to the stationary upright.
3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of:
transforming the point-on-point sight the open sight by (a) manipulating the forward sight to hide the first point and (b) manipulating the rear sight to hide the second point; and,
aligning the forward sight with the rear sight.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein:
the forward sight is defined by a post that (i) internally features the first point and (ii) features a window for viewing the first point:
the rear sight is defined by a stationary upright and a slidable upright wherein moving the slidable upright relative to the stationary upright hides the second point;
hiding the first point of the forward sight is accomplished via rotating the post so that the window is directed away from the rear sight; and,
hiding the second point of the rear sight is accomplished via moving the slidable upright relative to the stationary upright.
