AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The solution provides a clear field of vision and improved aiming accuracy by allowing multiple pins without obscuring the target, while the durable construction ensures long-lasting performance and easy adjustment for precise aiming.

Problems solved by technology

However, as technology improves and bows become more powerful, shooting without a sight has become increasingly challenging, especially at longer ranges.
However, when numerous pins are mounted in a sight, more of the target can be obscured behind such pins.
This situation can make aiming more difficult, especially for certain bows with small pin-gaps.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 depicts a side perspective view of archery sight assembly 100. Archery sight assembly 100 can be mounted to a bow, such as compound bow 200, using adjustable bow mounting bracket assembly 10. Said adjustable bow mounting bracket assembly 10 comprises mounting arm 11 that can be attached to compound bow 200. In a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal axis of mounting arm 11 is oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of compound bow 200.

[0035]Mounting arm 11 has end clamp member 12 which can be selectively tightened or loosened using set screw 13. Said end clamp member 12 is utilized to connect mounting arm 11 to horizontal bracket member 16, which is slidably received within said end clamp member 12. Horizontal bracket member 16 has scaled surface 14, and adjustable end piece 19. Adjustable end piece 19 is attached to horizontal bracket member 16 and can be tightened or loosened using set screw 18. Vertical bracket member...

Abstract

An archery sight assembly for aiming bows including, without limitation, compound bows. An adjustable mounting bracket connects the archery sight assembly to a bow and permits position adjustment of a sight window relative to the bow. At least two rigid optical sight pins are visible through the sight window. A length of fiber optic cable extends from the tip of a first optical sight pin, through a transparent housing, and attaches to the tip of a second optical sight pin. The optical sight pins have an offset angle to provide a gap between the pins, thereby improving the archer's field of vision.
