Patent ID: 8879146

Claim:
A reflective sighting device comprising: a sight frame having a front end and a rear end and being adapted for connection to a mounting bracket; a reflective sight component connected at least proximal to the front end of the sight frame and having a planar reflective surface for facing a user, the planar reflective surface being oriented at a first acute angle with respect to a line of sight between the reflective sight component and the user; and a light source connected at least proximal to the front end of the frame and having a light projection line oriented at a second acute angle with respect to the reflective sight component for projecting an aiming image onto the reflective sight component, and reflecting the aiming image for a perceived view by the user along the line of sight, the light source being closer to the reflective sight component than to the rear end of the sight frame along the line of sight; wherein the aiming image is perceived by the user as being closer to the user than an expected target distance, so that lateral movement of the reflected aiming image is minimized as perceived by the user when the reflective sighting device is subjected to movement with respect to the user during aiming.
