The embodiments of the disclosed invention relate to fiber optic weapon sights that use a reflector to direct ambient light to a fiber optic rod, and thus can provide weapon sights that are bright, or at least visible, in a variety of lighting condition. In one instance, the reflector can have a concave shape, such as a spherical or parabolic shape, that can focus ambient light on the fiber optic rod and thereby significantly increase the brightness of the weapon sight. The embodiments of the present invention can accordingly provide enhanced fiber optic front and/or rear sights for weapons including rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

1. A weapon sight comprising: a. a sight body;b. a rear protrusion coupled to the sight body and including a rear bore;c. a front protrusion coupled to the sight body and including a front bore;d. a fiber optic rod coupled to the sight body using the rear bore and the front bore, wherein the fiber o
1. A weapon sight comprising: a. a sight body;b. a rear protrusion coupled to the sight body and including a rear bore;c. a front protrusion coupled to the sight body and including a front bore;d. a fiber optic rod coupled to the sight body using the rear bore and the front bore, wherein the fiber optic rod has a diameter of between one and two millimeters, inclusive; ande. a concave reflector, having a spherical aberration, that is located between the rear protrusion and the front protrusion and that has a focus, and wherein the focus is positioned a distance above a center of the fiber optic rod that is less than or equal to the spherical aberration of the reflector such that light reflected from an edge of the reflector strikes the fiber optic rod and thereby increases the amount of reflected light collected by the fiber optic rod. 2. The weapon sight of claim 1, wherein the concave reflector comprises a cylindrical spherical reflector. 3. The weapon sight of claim 2, wherein the weapon sight comprises an open-type front sight. 4. The weapon sight of claim 2, wherein the concave reflector comprises one of a reflective coating, layer, tape, and plating. 5. The weapon sight of claim 2, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the reflector body. 6. The weapon sight of claim 2, wherein the weapon sight comprises an open-type rear sight. 7. The weapon sight of claim 6, wherein the concave reflector comprises one of a reflective coating, layer, tape, and plating. 8. The weapon sight of claim 6, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the reflector body. 9. The weapon sight of claim 2, wherein the concave reflector comprises one of a reflective coating, layer, tape, and plating. 10. The weapon sight of claim 9, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the reflector body. 11. The weapon sight of claim 2, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the sight body. 12. The weapon sight of claim 11, wherein the weapon sight comprises an open-type front sight. 13. The weapon sight of claim 12, wherein the concave reflector comprises one of a reflective coating, layer, tape, and plating. 14. The weapon sight of claim 12, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the reflector body. 15. The weapon sight of claim 1, wherein the weapon sight comprises an open-type rear sight. 16. The weapon sight of claim 15, wherein the concave reflector comprises one of a reflective coating, layer, tape, and plating. 17. The weapon sight of claim 15, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the reflector body. 18. The weapon sight of claim 1, wherein the concave reflector comprises one of a reflective coating, layer, tape, and plating. 19. The weapon sight of claim 18, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the reflector body. 20. The weapon sight of claim 1, further comprising a reflector body that is coupled to the sight body, and wherein the concave reflector is located on a surface of the reflector body.
