Abstract
A device for sighting a distant moving target by a shooter using a shoulder-mounted firearm provided with a trigger guard disposed around the trigger as a strip of metal or other suitable material. The device is comprised of a horizontal mounting base, a vertical support member, and a small screen or blade. The mounting base includes a mechanism for releasably fixing it in place, and a pair of parallel arms extending from a common origin which sandwich a section of the trigger guard when mounted. The support member extends vertically from the base so as to support the small screen adjacently to a side of the firearm. When the shooter mounts the firearm, the screen protrudes into the sightline of the eye opposite to the mounting shoulder thus concealing the barrel while allowing that opposite eye to see the target at all time.
