Abstract
A bow sight having a vertical pin and a sight point pivotally connected to the bow, the pin and sight point being vertically and laterally adjustable. The bow sight includes a structure, pivotal in relation to a bow handle. The pivotal structure may be pivotally connected to a stationary structure, which is fixedly attached or connected to a bow handle. The moveable nature of the pivotal structure provides compensation for changes in targeting distance due to changing the position of the bow. Additionally, various features provide vertical and lateral adjustment of the sight points. The bow sight of the present invention accommodates for changes in shooting angle without having to manually readjust the sight points.
Claims21
A bow sight for use with a bow comprising:
- (a) a pivot portion pivotally connectable to the bow comprising:
- (i) at least one pin carried by the pivot portion, the pin including a sight point;
- (ii) a first pin adjustment mechanism for moving the pin sight point vertically relative to the pivot portion;
- and
- (iii) a second adjustment mechanism for allowing the pin to move relative to the pivot portion in a direction towards or away from a target.
A bow sight for attachment to a bow, comprising:
- (a) a first portion configured for attachment to the bow;
- (b) a second portion pivotally connected to the first portion such that the first portion and the second portion pivot away from each other when the bow is aimed downwardly;
- (c) at least one pin connected to the second portion;
- (d) a first pin adjustment mechanism for moving the pin vertically relative to the second portion;
- and
- (e) a second pin adjustment mechanism for allowing the pin to move relative to the second portion in a direction toward or away from the target.
A method of targeting comprising:
- (a) providing a bow sight comprising:
- (i) a first portion and a second portion pivotally connected to the first portion such that the first portion and the second portion pivot away from each other when the bow is aimed downwardly;
- (ii) at least one vertical pin carried by the second portion, the vertical pin including a sight point;
- (iii) a first pin adjustment mechanism for moving the pin and sight point vertically relative to the second portion;
- and
- (iv) a second pin adjustment mechanism for moving the pin and sight point relative to the second portion towards or away from the target;
- (b) targeting an object by adjusting the vertical position of the sight point relative to the second portion, the object being at a set distance;
- and
- (c) pivoting the second portion away from the first portion and targeting the second object at the set distance by adjusting the position of the sight point relative to the second portion in a direction towards or away from the target.
A bow sight for attachment to a bow, comprising:
- (a) a first portion configured for attachment to the bow;
- (b) a second portion pivotally connected to the first portion to allow the second portion to pivot away from the first portion when the bow is aimed downwardly;
- (c) a pin carried by the second portion, the pin including a sight point;
- and
- (d) the pin being slidable relative to the second portion in a direction towards or away from the target
- wherein the pin comprises a vertically extending first pin and wherein the bow sight further comprising a second vertically extending pin carried by the second portion, the second pin being slidable relative to the second portion in a direction towards or away from the target.
A method of sighting a bow comprising:
- sighting the bow for a horizontal shot by setting a vertical position of a sight point relative to a pendulum member;
- and
- sighting the bow for an angled shot by sliding the sight point relative to the pendulum member in a direction towards or away from the target while maintaining the vertical position of the sight point.
