US 6,634,111 B2 · Multiple pin sight for an archery bow

Abstract

A multiple range sight for an archery bow having at least a first and a second aiming indicia. The aiming indica include a proximal end of a light-gathering optical fiber, wherein light is emitted from the proximal end. Further a holder supports the aiming indicia and is attachable to the archery bow. The first aiming indicia is provided for sighting a target at a first range. The second aiming indicia is provided for sighting a target at a second range. An area of the first aiming indica directly visible to an archer when sighting the target is sized in inverse relation to the length of the range such that the aiming indicia does not obscure the target. An area of the second aiming indicia directly visible to an archer when sighting the target is sized in inverse relation to the length of the range, and is of a different size than the area of the first aiming indicia.

Dependent claims

A multiple range sight for an archery bow comprising:

a first elongated light-gathering optical fiber having a proximal end and a distal end spaced from said proximal end, wherein light is emitted from the proximal end to provide a first aiming indicia for sighting a target at a first range;
a second elongated light-gathering optical fiber having a proximal end and a distal end spaced from said proximal end, wherein light is emitted from the proximal end to provide a second aiming indicia for sighting a target at a second range;
a holder adapted to support the first and second optical fibers, the holder being attachable to the archery bow;
and
wherein the second range is longer than the first range, and the second optical fiber has a diameter smaller than the first optical fiber adapted to thereby obscure a smaller area of the target at the second range than would be obscured by the first optical fiber.

A multiple range sight for an archery bow having multiple aiming indicia, comprising:

a first aiming indicia for sighting a target at a first range, comprising a proximal end of an elongated light-gathering optical fiber, wherein light is emitted from the proximal end;
a second aiming indicia for sighting a target at a second range, comprising a proximal end of an elongated light-gathering optical fiber, wherein light is emitted from the proximal end;
a holder adapted to support the first and second aiming indicia, the holder being attachable to the archery bow;
and
wherein an area of the first aiming indicia directly visible to an archer when sighting the target at a first range is sized in inverse relation to a length of the first range and adapted to obscure less of the target if the first range is longer than if the first range is shorter, and wherein the area of the first aiming indicia directly visible to the archer is different than an area of the second aiming indicia directly visible to the archer when sighting a target.
