Target Sighting Geometric Aids

Abstract

A geometrically based target sighting aid stick-on for ready-made visors, goggles, glasses, monocles and sunglasses and a similar format for modifying visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monocles and contact lenses during manufacture is presented. Either in stick-on, or original manufacturing process the invention is for single eye use and applies geometric target alignment patterns that allow the user to reduce the common errors that lead to poor target sighting and consequent inaccurate shooting. A second geometric stick-on method is accompanied by a second application method for use in the manufacture of visors, goggles, glasses, sunglasses, monocles and contact lenses. The geometric patterns may take any number of types and combinations of types, including but not limited to, the one hundred versions presented in this document. The invention holds for military applications with handguns, assault rifles, and both portable and mounted machine guns. It also holds for the collection of active sports described in this patent application.
