OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved gun sight. A further object is to provide a gun sight which is simple and economical to manufacture. A third object is to provide a gun sight which improves accuracy in shotgun shooting. These and other objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the gun sight of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a rear elevation of the gun sight of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a side section taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
As shown in the drawings, the gun sight of the present invention 10 contains an attaching arm 11 having a hole 13 which registers over a corresponding opening 17 at the end of the barrel 16. A bolt 18 inserted through openings 13 and 17 with the aid of lock nut 19 secures the gun sight to the barrel 16. Sighting member 12 is a disc attached to the forward end of attaching member 11. Member 12 is substantially circular in shape and is provided with a cut-out section 14 in the shape of a cross.
The cut-out section 14 is substantially cross-shaped, being formed of two overlapping rectangles, the overlapping areas common to both rectangles being approximately half of the area of each rectangle.
The gun sight of the present invention is particularly effective when applied to a shotgun and permits amateur shooters to rapidly attain proficiency in skeet shooting.
