Benefits of technology

[0008]A feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to provide a lit bow sight.
[0009]A feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to be used in extremely low-level light environments.
[0010]A feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to effectively harness ambient low-level light and magnify it to a useab

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, however, because most hunting expeditions are usually conducted in low-level light conditions/environments, such as a dense forest, most conventionally available bow sights are unable to effectively assist the hunter in sighting his target.
Although attempts have been made to cure the deficiencies and inadequacies of conventional sighting pins and/or crosshairs, sim

Embodiment Construction

[0027]In describing the preferred and alternate embodiments of the present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 1-9, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. The invention, however, is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish similar functions.

[0028]Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, the present invention in its preferred embodiment is an ambient light collecting bow sight 10 having bow sight 20 and light collecting mechanism 80.

[0029]Specifically, bow sight 20 has preferably cylindrical shaft 22 integrally formed to ring 24. Although integral formation of shaft 22 is preferred, one skilled in the art would readily recognize that shaft 22 could attach to ring 24 via any attaching means known within the art, such as, for exemplary purposes only, epoxies or resins. Shaft 22 is preferably dimensioned to be received wi...

Abstract

An ambient light collecting bow sight having a light collecting filament, wherein the light collecting filament is preferably a scintillating fiber optic filament of sufficient length to enable extensive wrapping or winding of the fiber optic filament around a preferably translucent bow sight. The multiple wrapping or winding of an extensive strand of fiber optic filament provides the filament with more surface area in which to harness ambient light passing through the translucent bow-sight. A portion of the fiber optic filament is attached to a pin or crosshair of the bow sight, thus functioning as a lit targeting pin.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates generally to bow sights, and more specifically to an ambient light collecting bow sight. The present invention is particularly useful in, although not limited to, assisting hunters and / or competition shooters equipped with bows and / or firearms to target game or objects in low-light environments.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Effective and successful use of a bow is dependent upon a multitude of variables, including establishment of proper trajectory, string tension, drawback and even the weight of the bow. More importantly, however, the precision of a bowshot is largely dependent upon proper targeting or aiming and the ability to sight one's target. As such, many archers / hunters have employed the use of bow sights to assist in such targeting. Unfortunately, however, because most hunting expeditions are usually conducted in low-level light conditions / environments, such as a dense forest, most conventionally available bow sights are...
