Abstract: A combined target sight and range finder with a bulls-eye pin and slotted sight plate that receives an adjustable “belly bar” is disclosed. A “set-in” procedure is used to establish a set-in distance and to generate a scale of various target sizes. The “set-in” procedure involves adjusting such that the bulls-eye pin is consistently aimed at the bulls-eye of a target, yet hits the target at a distance above the target. The archer moves progressively farther away from the target until a “set-in” distance at which aiming at the bulls-eye produces shots that hit the bulls-eye is reached. Various targets are presented at the set-in distance, and the belly bar is positioned such that the bulls-eye pin and belly bar frame each target. The belly bar can then later quickly be placed in its slot at the position corresponding to the target size, thereby accounting for the distance between the shooter and the target.

Abstract: A pneumatic tube that is secured to the bow and bowstring with an arrow and piston inside for safe drawing and firing of an archery bow. When the archer looses the string and it drives the arrow forward, the piston creates pneumatic air resistance like a hand operated bicycle pump. This resistance is sufficient to prevent damage to the bow and/or its components from loosing the string without an actual arrow on the string. Normal loosing the string without an arrow on it is called “dry-firing” and would damage the bow and/or its components. This tube is attached to a bracket that is affixed to a mounting block that can be fastened to the front of the bow at the standard stabilizer mounting hole. There is also a laser mounted in the end of the tube, which can be turned on by the archer and projects a laser light on the target. This light is automatically turned off as the bow is fired, thus showing the archer exactly where an actual arrow would have hit.

Abstract: The slotted peep of this invention is a device that eliminates the detrimental effects of diffracted light from its aperture. Diffraction causes light to bend toward and perpendicular to an object's edge. In a current peep's aperture diffracted light is neither controlled nor eliminated. Diffracted light creates several shortcomings in current peeps which impair their accuracy and utility. The current aperture must be oversized to allow space for the diffracted light. The visual size and shape of the current aperture will vary with changes in the light diffraction. Under low light conditions, enough light may be diffracted within the current peep aperture that a user may not be able to see through the peep. A slotted peep is designed to eliminate detrimental effects of diffracted light from its aperture. By surrounding an open space with the open ends of slots, a space is defined that has virtually no physical edges. A slot of the slotted peep confines diffracted light within the slot. “(FIG.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting sighting pins in an archery sight for multiple target distances after the uppermost pin has been adjusted for a target distance such as 20 yards. An archery target is utilized with a horizontal reference indicator. Vertical offset distances from the reference indicator are determined for various target distances and arrow velocities, indicating where an arrow destined for the reference indicator on an imaginary target at a longer range such as 30 yards would strike the target at 20 yards. A vertical offset impact point is marked on the target at the offset distance from the reference indicator. A second pin corresponding to 30 yards is adjusted to visually overlie the reference indicator when the first pin is aimed at the offset impact point. By determining and marking offset distances corresponding to multiple target distances, multiple sighting pins can be adjusted in a similar manner.
