Wyoming Patent of the Month – July 2024
HiViz, LLC (DBA HIVIZ Shooting Systems) has revolutionized firearm optics with their latest invention, a rear gunsight integrated with a front gunsight that enhances precision aiming like never before.
At the heart of this innovation lies a light collector housed within a nontransparent tube, strategically positioned to optimize sight alignment. When the gun’s longitudinal axis aligns perfectly with the user’s straight sight line, a brilliant reference point appears, visible through the hollow of the tube. This breakthrough ensures that the sight and the gun barrel’s axis remain parallel, crucial for accuracy in shooting sports and tactical operations.
The rear gunsight’s design incorporates a lens with a convex surface and a coiled light collector, housed in a meticulously engineered assembly. Users can adjust the sight alignment from non-optimal to intermediate orientations, fine-tuning their aiming for varying distances and conditions. When the sight and straight sight line are perfectly aligned, the bright reference point fills the tube’s cross-sectional area, affirming the optimal alignment crucial for precise targeting. This feature not only enhances accuracy but also improves user confidence in challenging shooting scenarios.
The integration of a front gunsight complements the rear component, ensuring alignment consistency across the entire firearm. This comprehensive system addresses the needs of both professional marksmen and recreational shooters, promising unparalleled performance and reliability in diverse shooting environments. Whether on the range or in the field, shooters can rely on HIVIZ’s innovative gunsight system to elevate their shooting experience with enhanced accuracy and confidence.
HIVIZ Shooting Systems’ rear gunsight with integrated front sight represents a significant advancement in firearm optics, driven by a commitment to precision and innovation. By combining cutting-edge technology with practical shooting applications, this invention sets a new standard for sight systems in the firearms industry, empowering users to achieve their shooting goals with unmatched clarity and accuracy.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
