Abstract

A sight apparatus for attachment to a paintball marker having two distinct reticles to assist with the placement accuracy of paintballs. The sight apparatus comprises a body, a first reticle and a second reticle. The first reticle is substantially transparent and includes a diameter line, at least two radius lines, and at least three segment lines extending from each of at least two radius lines. The second reticle is substantially transparent and has a rectangular outline.

Claims (18)

1. A sight apparatus for attachment to a paintball marker along the longitudinal axis of the paintball marker to assist with the placement accuracy of paintballs, the sight apparatus comprising:

a body consisting essentially of a tube extending between a forward end and a rearward end along a longitudinal axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of a paintball marker, said forward end comprising a first reticle and said rearward end comprising a second reticle;

said first reticle being substantially transparent and comprising a diameter line, at least two radius lines, and at least three segment lines extending from each of at least two radius lines, said first reticle positioned such that said diameter line is transverse to said longitudinal axis of said body;

said second reticle being substantially transparent and having a rectangular outline having a short leg and a long leg, said second reticle positioned such that said short leg of said rectangular outline is transverse to said longitudinal axis of said body.

2. A sight apparatus for attachment to a paintball marker to assist with the placement accuracy of paintballs, the sight apparatus consisting essentially of:

a body having attachment means for securing said body to a paintball marker, said body extending between a forward end and a rearward end with a longitudinal axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the paintball marker;

a substantially transparent first reticle comprising a diameter line, at least two radius lines, and at least three segments extending from each of at least two radius lines, said first reticle perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said body;

a substantially transparent second reticle having a rectangular outline having a short leg and a long leg, said second reticle positioned perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said body such that said short leg of said rectangular outline is transverse to said longitudinal axis of said body;

at least one reticle cover connected said body; and

a point sight capable of transmitting a beam of light through said rearward end of said body to illuminate a portion of a target.

3. A sight apparatus for attachment to a paintball marker to assist a paintball marker user with the placement accuracy of paintballs, the sight apparatus comprising:

a substantially transparent first reticle comprising a rectangular outline having two parallel short legs and two parallel long legs; and

a second reticle consisting essentially of:

a diameter line,

a radius line extending perpendicular from said diameter line;

at least two additional radius lines forming an acute angle;

at least three segments extending from each of at least two radius lines, and

numerical figures proximate to at least three segment lines.
