8. A sight comprising
a frame having an opening formed therein; -
a boss, wherein a portion of the boss is positioned within the opening and selectively held by the frame; a knob rotatably attached to a first end of the boss; a sight pin mount having a stem; a sight pin attached to the sight pin mount and engaged with the boss and the knob; and a lock engaged with the frame; wherein movement of the boss within the frame moves the sight pin laterally; wherein the knob is in threaded engagement with the stem such that when the knob is rotated in a first direction the sight pin moves in first lateral direction; and
when the knob is rotated in a second direction the sight pin moves in second lateral directionwherein when the lock is tightened, the frame clamps the boss to hold the boss in position with respect to the frame; and wherein when the lock is tightened, a clamping action from the frame is transferred to the boss such that the boss clamps the stem to hold the stem in position with respect to the boss.

9. A sight comprising:
-
a housing; a dial rotatably connected to the housing; a slide member engaged with the housing such that as the dial is rotated the slide member is moved in a vertical direction; a bracket attached to the slide member, the bracket having a pair of legs forming an opening; an arm selectively and slidably received in the opening; a scope head attached to the arm; a lock knob engaged with the pair of legs such that when the lock knob is tight, the arm is prevented from moving laterally within the bracket and when the lock knob is loose, the arm is permitted to move laterally within the bracket; a micro-knob engaged with the scope head such that when the micro-knob is rotated in a first direction, the scope head is moved in a first direction and when the micro-knob is rotated in a second direction, the scope head is moved in a second direction; and a spring and ball positioned within a bore formed in one of the pair of legs such that the spring urges the ball at least partially into the opening; wherein the arm has a series of indentations such that as the arm is moved through the opening, the ball will be urged into and out of at least one of the series of indentations. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
