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.
Claims22
A bow sight, comprising:
- a bow sight housing, said bow sight housing having at least one sight pin;
- and
- at least one light collecting mechanism carried by said bow sight housing, wherein said at least one light collecting mechanism is coiled a plurality of revolutions wherein a portion of the light collecting mechanism is in communication with said sight pin.
A light collecting bow sight assembly, comprising:
- a bow sight, said bow sight being rotatable and having at least one sight pin;
- at least one light collector adaptable to said bow sight and coiled a plurality of revolutions wherein a portion of the light collecting mechanism is in communication with said sight pin;
- and
- at least one encasement for housing said at least one light collector upon adapting said at least one light collector to said bow sight.
A method of providing an ambient light collecting bow sight, comprising the steps of:
- a. coiling at least one fiber optic filament a plurality of revolutions wherein a portion of the light collecting mechanism is in communication with said sight pin around a support;
- and,
- b. positioning one end of said at least one fiber optic filament within a bow sight.
A bow sight, comprising:
- a bow sight housing, said bow sight housing having at least one sight pin;
- a first light collecting mechanism carried by said bow sight housing, wherein said first light collecting mechanism is coiled a plurality of revolutions wherein a portion of the light collecting mechanism is in communication with said sight pin;
- a second light collecting mechanism carried by said bow sight housing, wherein said second light collecting mechanism is coiled a plurality of revolutions, and wherein said second light collecting mechanism is concentrically disposed to said first light collecting mechanism;
- and,
- a third light collecting mechanism carried by said bow sight housing, wherein said third light collecting mechanism is coiled a plurality of revolutions, and wherein said third light collecting mechanism is concentrically disposed to said second light collecting mechanism.
