Abstract
A programmable bow sight having an adjustable sight pin and a display means adapted to display a value indicating a distance associated with the position of the sight pin is disclosed, wherein adjustment of the sight pin to a position where a value indicating a desired distance is displayed allows a user to accurately aim for a shot at the desired distance using the sight pin for elevation. The sight is programmable to alter the respective sight pin position(s) associated with one or more distance(s) to account for specific performance characteristics of a user's bow and/or arrow.
