Abstract
A bow sight member includes a mounting plate secured to a bow in an orthogonal relationship, with the mounting plate including an L-shaped front sight support member projecting forwardly of the bow, with an L-shaped rear sight member positioned rearwardly of the bow, wherein each sight member includes a mounting plate arranged in a coplanar relationship to slidably secure respective front and rear sight plates thereon, with the front and rear sight plates respectively mounting respective front and rear sights.
Claims3
A bow sight apparatus arranged for securement to an archery bow, wherein the apparatus comprises,
- a mounting plate, the mounting plate having a planar first side parallel to a planar second side, and
- the mounting plate having a first end spaced from a second end, and a top side spaced from a bottom side, wherein the mounting plate includes a first smooth mounting bore and a second smooth mounting bore directed through the mounting plate an equal distance between the first end and the second end defining a first row, and
- an internally threaded third mounting bore and an internally threaded fourth mounting bore spaced an equal distance relative to the first end between the first end and the first row, wherein the third mounting bore and the fourth mounting bore define a second row, and
- a fifth internally threaded mounting bore and a sixth internally threaded mounting bore directed through the mounting plate between the first row and the second end, wherein the fifth mounting bore and the sixth mounting bore are spaced an equal distance relative to the second end, and define a third row, wherein the first row, the second row, and the third row are parallel relative to one another, and
- the first mounting bore and the second mounting bore each receiving a fastener therethrough for securement of the mounting plate to the bow, and
- the third mounting bore and the fourth mounting bore are arranged for reception of an arrow quiver for use by a left-handed shooter, and the fifth and the sixth mounting bore are arranged for reception of a bow quiver relative to a right-handed shooter upon securement of the mounting plate to the bow, and
- a seventh internally threaded bore and an eighth internally threaded bore defining a fourth row, wherein the seventh bore and the eighth bore are positioned in adjacency relative to the first end between the second row and the first end, and orthogonally oriented relative to the second row, and a ninth internally threaded bore and a tenth internally threaded bore defining a fifth row positioned adjacent the second end between the third row and the second end, wherein the fourth row and the fifth row are colinear relative to one another and orthogonally oriented relative to each of the first row, the second row, and the third row, and
- a front sight means mounted to the fourth row, and a rear sight means arranged for mounting to the fifth row, and
- the front sight means includes an L-shaped front sight support member having a first plate orthogonally and integrally mounted to a second plate, the first plate having first plate parallel slots, and the first plate in contiguous communication with the mounting plate, and front sight fasteners directed through the first plate slots, with one of said front plate fasteners received within one of said seventh bore and eighth bore, and a front sight plate having a plurality of front sight plate slots orthogonally oriented relative to the first plate, and front sight fasteners directed through the front sight plate slots, and the second plate having second plate threaded bores, and the front sight fasteners received within the second plate threaded bores, and a front sight post orthogonally and fixedly mounted to the front sight plate.
