Abstract
A naturally illuminated three dot sighting system for firearms includes a rear sight having two dots formed by scintillating fibers encased in an optically clear polymer block, and a front sight having one dot formed by a scintillating fiber within an optically clear polymer post. The rear sight has a center channel with scintillating fibers disposed on each side thereof. In poor ambient light, the light incident on the optically clear blocks travels to the fibers which gather such light and scintillate to provide dots of light at their proximal ends which can be aligned.
