Archery bow sight

Abstract

A bow sight is provided including a mounting bracket including a proximal end and a distal end, a sight housing and a sight pin mounted in the housing. The proximal end can define substantially vertical slots, one above the other, to provide a first vertical adjustment of the archery bow sight. The sight housing can define another substantially vertical slot. The mounting bracket can be joined with an arm that is movable relative to the substantially vertical housing slot so that the sight housing and sight pin can be vertically adjusted up and down, moving simultaneously with one another, relative to the mounting bracket to provide a second vertical adjustment of the archery bow sight. The arm can extend from a windage adjuster mounted to the mounting bracket.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to archery sights, and in particular, to archery sights having a wide range of vertical movement to accommodate different shooting distances.[0002]Most conventional archery bows are outfitted with sights that are designed to align the trajectory of an arrow shot from the bow with a target or game. These bow sights include sight pins to be aligned with the target for accurate shooting. Archers or bow hunters often desire to shoot targets or game at different distances. Accordingly, most bow sights include multiple sight pins having sight indicia aligned along a vertical axis, one over the other. Each sight indicia is calibrated for a target at a different range. Depending on the target range, the archer must select the corresponding sight pin and align its sight indicia with the target. If the archer's range estimation, pin selection and indicia alignment are correct when the archer shoots the arrow, the arrow will hit th...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a bow sight that allows for easy and accurate calibration for different shooting ranges. The sight is connected to the arm of the user through a mounting bracket that can be adjusted to different positions relative to the riser. The sight housing can also be adjusted in relation to the mounting bracket for added precision. Additionally, the sight is designed to allow for both individual and collective calibration of the pins, eliminating the need for a separate secondary vertical adjuster. This simplifies the construction and assembly process of the sight.

Problems solved by technology

In so doing, however, the archer with a conventional sight might only be able to move their sight so much with a conventional vertical adjustment mechanism.

Due to the movement of the individual pins, those pins also might not be moved properly to replicate the previous spacing, in which case the pins will need to be tediously recalibrated.
