Benefits of technology

"The present invention is an armament sight that allows the user to choose from single or multiple different targets at different distances. This is done without impairing the visibility of the target. The sight includes a pin guard and one or more sight pins supported in the sight window. Each sight pin is made up of a clear material and a sight tip. The sight tip is positioned by the material. This allows the user to view an object through the sight pin(s) while aligning the sight tip with the object. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a versatile and efficient armament sight that allows users to target objects at different distances without compromising visibility."

Problems solved by technology

One difficulty with prior art systems is that the sight pins used to position the sight tips seriously obscure portions of the target.
This may interfere with the proper use of the sight by precluding proper observation of the target.
This problem is compounded when multiple sight pins are utilized in order to sight two targets of different distances.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring now specifically to the drawings, and the illustrative embodiments depicted therein, an armament 10, in the form of a bow, is illustrated as equipped with an armament sight 12. Armament sight 12 includes a pin guard 14 defining a sight window 16 therein. Pin guard 14 and sight window 16 are conventional. Pin guard 14 is mounted to the bow by a bracket 15. A left / right adjusting member 17 provides left / right adjustability of the pin guard with respect to bracket 15. Bracket 15 and left / right adjusting member 17 are also conventional.

[0015] Armament sight 12 includes one or more sight pins 20. Sight pin(s) 20 is made up of an optically clear material 22. Examples of an optically clear material include cast acrylic and polycarbonate acrylic. However, other optically clear materials will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Pin 20 includes an opening 26 for positioning a sight tip 24. Sight tip 24 may be a pin made from various types of materials. In the illustrati...

Abstract

An armament sight includes a pin guard defining a sight window and a mounting member. One or more sight pins are supported in the sight window by the mounting member. Each sight pin is made up of a substantially optically clear material and a sight tip. The sight tip is positioned by the optically clear material. A user can view an object through the sight pin or pins while aligning the sight tip with the object.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority from U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 566,035, filed on Apr. 28, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention is directed to an aiming sight for an armament. While the invention is illustrated for use with a bow, it may be applied to other armaments, such as a firearm, or the like. [0003] Various armament sights have been proposed. An example of such an armament sight utilizes a sight tip made from a fiber optic that is positioned by a sight pin. The sight pin is positioned such that alignment of the sight tip with a target should provide proper aim to that target. In the case of a bow, multiple sight tips may be utilized at various vertical heights in order to allow the archer to aim at targets of different distances. By making the sight tip from a fiber optic, the sight tip may be illumina...
