Abstract: An improved sighting device is provided. The sight may be used on a bow or other device which is typically sighted on an object during use. The sight includes at least one light-gathering fiber-optic fiber having at least one end from which absorbed light may be transmitted for viewing by a user. The fiber-optic fiber includes an associated element that regulates the amount of light absorbed in inverse proportion to the impinging light intensity in an automatic manner providing a more constant light intensity output.
Abstract: A device used to facilitate the accurate shooting of an archery bow. The device includes horizontally and vertically adjustable support structure for attaching the device to a bow. Moreover, the device includes a base, a guard and sight pins. The base includes arcuate channels sized for receipt of sight pins and arched to ensure that the sight pins are aimed at the archer's eye regardless of vertical spacing. The sight pins include an offset-Y-shaped fiber support and a light-gathering fiber. The light-gathering fiber comprises a length of fiber optic material with a sighting point on each distal end thereof. The offset-Y-shaped fiber support is an offset-Y-shaped member whose offset allows for placement in either of two spaced arcuate channels while maintaining the targeting axis position of the sighting points. The guard, which encircles the sight pins, includes three fiber optic fibers spaced about its diameter to allow for low-light alignment.
Abstract: The present invention is an fall-away arrow rest for an archery bow. It is comprised of a housing having a cavity. A shaft extends into the housing and is rotatable between a set position and a release position. A shaft pin is coupled with the shaft that extends away from the shaft and into the cavity. A first spring is provided to urge the shaft towards the release position. A weight is coupled with the housing and positioned in the cavity so that it can pivot between a locking position and an unlocking position with the weight being biased with a second spring towards the locking position. A pin stop is provided in the weight to receive the shaft pin when the shaft is in the set position and the weight is in the locking position. An arrow support is coupled with the shaft portion that extends outside of the housing. A cover is supplied across the cavity to prevent the entry of deleterious materials.
