AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing sports bow aiming devices lack accuracy at long target distances, particularly due to variations in arrow kinetic energy affecting sight lines.

Method used

A mirror sight mount is firmly connected to the central part of the bow's arc, allowing adjustable angles and mounting positions, and a laterally mounted mirror determines arrow energy and sight line using the bowstring shadow to compensate for energy variations.

Benefits of technology

Enhances aiming accuracy by compensating for kinetic energy changes, thereby improving shot precision at long distances.

Abstract

Mounting device for receiving at least one mirror with at least one marking on a mirror surface for checking at least one pupil axis in an arc with sight and vertical plane of the chord movement, characterized in that at least one mirror can be firmly connected or screwed to the central part of the arc by means of the mounting, wherein at least one inclination angle of the mirror with respect to at least one axis in an angular range ≥ 0° can be selected in the orientation of a mirror relative to the central part.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the aiming devices of sports bows. State of the art

[0002] It is known that a mirror with a marking allows the determination of a pupil axis, while two non-parallel mirrors with markings make a location determinable. Object of the invention

[0003] Using one or more mirrors mounted on the central part and previously known components, a sight line can be defined in a sports bow. The invention aims to realize a specific embodiment of a mirror sight mount so that a mirror sight can be practically used, combined with an existing sight, and thus the accuracy of the aim can be increased even at long target distances. Technical solution

[0004] This problem is to be solved with the features listed in claim 1 by firmly connecting a mirror to the central part of the arc and by making at least one angle about an axis sufficiently adjustable during the mirror mounting. This is also made possible by mounting it to a vertical plane on the central part of the arc.

[0005] Various mounting heights and horizontal positions are possible for mirrors mounted on the center section of the bow. At a given height of a single, centrally mounted mirror, variations in the initial kinetic energy of the arrow are at least partially compensated for by the associated changes in the sight lines, thus increasing accuracy. Using the bowstring shadow, a single laterally mounted mirror allows for the determination of both arrow energy and sight line.

Claims

[1] Mounting device for receiving at least one mirror with at least one marking on a mirror surface for checking at least one pupil axis in an arc with sight and vertical plane of the chord movement, characterized by , that at least one mirror can be firmly connected or screwed to the central part of the arc by means of the mount, wherein in the orientation of a mirror relative to the central part at least one inclination angle of the mirror with respect to at least one axis in an angular range ≥ 0° can be selected. [2] Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized by , that the mounting on the bow's midsection is structurally connected or fixed to a nominally vertical plane and at a specific position and with a specific orientation, wherein this vertical plane is perpendicular to a horizontal axis which is perpendicular to the direction of an arrow inserted normal to the string and perpendicular to the unstretched string. [3] Arrangement according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the mirror plane of a mounted mirror is perpendicular to an arrow placed normal to the string and that this mirror is nominally mounted at eye level with respect to an arrow placed normal to the string. [4] Arrangement according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that a single mirror is mounted at a specific height above the line of sight and in the plane of the bowstring's movement, so that variations in draw length and thus in the initial kinetic energy of the arrow are at least partially compensated for by the associated geometric changes in the lines of sight. [5] Arrangement according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the mirror sight, which can be mounted in a certain angle range ≥ 0° and height range ≥ 0 mm, is mounted or screwed onto a common mount on the middle part of the bow in combination with another sight. [6] Arrangement according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by that the mirror sight mount is made from an L-profile or T-profile with sufficiently dimensioned bores and recesses shaped according to the desired mobility. [7] Arrangement according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that two mirrors are mounted in different positions or at different heights or in different horizontal positions on the middle part of the arch. [8] Arrangement according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that a single mirror is mounted at a not insignificant distance from the plane of the string movement on the middle section or on a bow stabilizer mounted to it, so that with the aid of the mirror sight, the string shadow and an existing sight a sight line and an initial kinetic arrow energy are defined.
