Abstract
An archery sight having a pin gap adjustment mechanism to adjust a pin gap between a first pin and a second pin to compensate for arrow drop at different ranges. The pin gap adjustment mechanism may include a cam and a follower pin rigidly connected to the second pin. Input from an actuator may cause the cam to rotate and thereby increase or decrease the pin gap between the first pin and the second pin. The cam may comprise an outer surface with a continuously variable irregular surface to provide multiple adjustments for arrows with different trajectories.
Claims21
An archery sight for a bow comprising:
- a sight assembly moveably mounted to a vertical gear rack;
- the sight assembly having a first pin having a first sight point and a second pin having a second sight point;
- a pin gap defined by a distance between the first sight point and the second sight point;
- an actuator;
- a sight assembly adjustment mechanism configured to move the sight assembly, the first pin, and the second pin up and down along the vertical gear rack responsive to input from the actuator;
- a pin gap adjustment mechanism configured to move the second pin with respect to the first pin to thereby vary the pin gap responsive to input from the actuator.
An archery sight for a bow comprising:
- a sight assembly moveably mounted to a vertical gear rack;
- the sight assembly having a first pin having a first sight point and a second pin having a second sight point;
- a follower pin connected to the second pin;
- a pin gap defined by a distance between the first sight point and the second sight point;
- an actuator mounted on a shaft;
- a sight assembly adjustment mechanism having a main driver gear in communication with the shaft and intermeshed with the vertical gear rack;
- and
- a pin gap adjustment mechanism having a rotatable cam in communication with the follower pin and the shaft.
