4. The said invention provides an eye screw under the said front sight reticle attached to the said frame to which a measure of thread may be attached to assist in reading wind direction and estimating wind velocity for assistance in stalking and shooting.

5. The said invention provides that every surface of the said sight'"'"'s reticles are cut, filed or ground so that said surfaces used in said sighting reflects light glare away from the eye as it aligns said sight with the target. This prevents reflected light from distorting said sight picture.
