US12650613 - Aiming glasses

Aiming glasses can be used for finding a line of aim when shooting firearms and pneumatic weapons, as well as in archery, billiards, golf, and curling. The aiming glasses include an optical part in which aiming guides can be moved and rotated relative to a frame in order to align the center of the guides with the visual axis of the eye, which passes through the center of the fovea and the target, and to vertically orient the guides. The results are improved at aiming accuracy and greater versatility of the aiming glasses for use in different types of sport. A further technical result is that of enabling a sportsperson to cultivate a reproducible afterimage of the aiming guides at the start of a line of aim.
