Abstract
An archery bow sight is provided including an adjuster having a homing pin indexed within a homing slot to prevent a sight housing from free spinning with a round elongated arm in a round arm hole of the adjuster when the adjuster is operated by a user to move the sight housing relative to a mounting bracket. The adjuster can include a dial that interacts with threads on the elongated arm, which can cover a large portion of the arm and provide additional adjustability. The adjuster can include an adjustment control having a shaft that engages the homing pin forcibly with the homing slot and arm to lock the arm in a fixed position relative to the bracket in a lock mode. A related method of use is also provided.
Claims20
An archery bow sight comprising:
- a mounting bracket including a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end configured to mount to an archery bow riser, the distal end projecting forwardly of the proximal end and configured to extend forwardly of the archery bow riser when the bow sight is mounted thereto;
- a windage adjuster joined with the distal end, the windage adjuster including an elongated arm selectively slidable within a round arm hole defined by the windage adjuster, the elongated arm including a first end and a second end, a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, with an intermediate portion disposed between the first end and the second end, the second end being laterally moveable relative to the mounting bracket when the elongated arm selectively slides relative to the round arm hole in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, the elongated arm defining a homing slot extending within the intermediate portion and aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- a homing pin indexed within the homing slot and aligned with the longitudinal axis;
- a sight housing joined with the second end of the elongated arm, distal from the mounting bracket;
- and
- a sight pin disposed in the housing and visible to a user,
- wherein the homing pin indexed within the homing slot prevents the sight housing from free spinning with the elongated arm in the round arm hole about the longitudinal axis.
An archery bow sight comprising:
- a mounting bracket configured to mount to an archery bow;
- an adjuster joined with the bracket, the adjuster defining a round arm hole and including a round elongated arm selectively slidable in the round arm hole;
- a sight housing joined with the round elongated arm, distal from the mounting bracket;
- a sight indicia disposed in the housing and visible to a user;
- and
- a homing pin indexed within a homing slot to prevent the sight housing from free spinning with the round elongated arm in the round arm hole about a longitudinal axis when the adjuster is operated by a user to move the sight housing relative to the mounting bracket.
A method of using an archery bow sight, the method comprising:
- providing a round elongated arm joined with a sight housing within which a sight indicia is disposed, the round elongated arm being selectively slidably disposed in a round arm hole;
- and
- preventing the sight housing from rotating relative to an adjuster and a mounting bracket configured to join with an archery bow, via interaction of a homing pin registered simultaneously in a homing slot and a perimeter slot coextensive with the round arm hole.
