Abstract

A sight system for a firearm or like device can comprise a housing; a lens coupled to the housing; a power source disposed in the housing; a switch in electronic communication with the power source; an emitter system disposed in the housing and in electronic communication with the switch; and/or a motion sensor. The emitter system can comprise a first emitter configured to present a primary reticle visible via the lens, and/or a second emitter configured to present a secondary reticle visible via the lens. The motion sensor can be in electronic communication with the second emitter. The first emitter and the second emitter can be electronically in parallel with one another. In response to a predetermined nonmovement duration passing without the motion sensor detecting movement, the sight system can be configured to disable the second emitter and maintain the first emitter to continue to present the primary reticle.
