Abstract
Provided herein are sighting devices that include a lighting device within a bore within a housing. The bore has a proximal first end that opens at an end of the housing for a user to look in to, and a lengthwise second end embedded in a closed end of the housing. The lighting source is embedded within the bore. Light from the lighting source is visible to a user, but not to other persons or animals at an angle of greater than 45 degrees with respect to an axis extending through the bore, from behind the opening of the sighting device. Also included are apparatuses, such as projectile-launching apparatuses, which include or incorporate or attach the present sighting devices thereto, kits that include such sighting devices, and methods of using sighting devices.
