Abstract
A sight assembly for a shotgun is provided and may include a housing. A light-collecting fiber may be supported by the housing and may extend along a longitudinal axis of the housing. A lens may be supported by the housing and may receive light from the fiber to display an aiming point. The lens may be spaced apart and separated from a distal end of the fiber by a predetermined distance.

A sight assembly for a shotgun, the sight assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a light-collecting fiber supported by said housing and extending along a longitudinal axis of said housing;
- and
- a sapphire ball lens supported by said housing and receiving light from said fiber to display an aiming point, said lens opposing and being spaced apart from a distal end of said fiber by a predetermined distance.
A sight assembly for a shotgun, the sight assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a fiber disposed within said housing and extending along a longitudinal axis of said housing, said fiber operable to generate an aiming point at a distal end of said housing;
- and
- a sleeve attached to said fiber and operable to engage said housing to position said sleeve and said fiber relative to said housing;
- and
- a ball lens disposed at least partially within said housing and receiving light from said fiber to display said aiming point.
A sight assembly for a shotgun, the sight assembly comprising:
- a housing including a clearance operable to receive a bead of the shotgun;
- a light-collecting fiber supported by said housing and extending along a longitudinal axis of said housing;
- and
- a lens supported by said housing and receiving light from said fiber to display an aiming point, said lens being spaced apart and separated from a distal end of said fiber by a predetermined distance and disposed at an opposite end of said housing than said clearance.
A sight assembly for a shotgun, the sight assembly comprising:
- a housing including at least two set screws operable to engage a barrel of the shotgun, said at least two set screws movable from a disengaged position removed from contact with the barrel of the shotgun to an engaged position contacting the barrel of the shotgun and moving between said disengaged position and said engaged position along an axis formed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of said housing;
- a light-collecting fiber supported by said housing and extending along a longitudinal axis of said housing;
- a lens supported by said housing and receiving light from said fiber to display an aiming point, said lens being spaced apart and separated from a distal end of said fiber by a predetermined distance.
