Abstract
A gun sight mount used in association with a gun barrel, such gun sight mount positioned on a axially rotatable shaft member disposed at an acute angle to the axis of the gun barrel, offsetting such sight mount to a side of such gun barrel. A handle causes rotation of the shaft member and sight mount such that the sight mount moves from a position where its axis is parallel to the axis of the gun barrel to a position where its axis is pointing downward and outward from the direction of the axis of the gun barrel to a point selected for the desired range whence the sight is then aimed at the target which action then elevates the gun barrel for the correct range and offsets the gun barrel from the target to adjust for the projectile's drift in order to aim the projectile accurately to hit the target.
