Abstract: A bow sight is comprised of at least two support structures, at least one of the support structures supporting at least one angled sight pin. Each support structure is adjustably attached to a mounting member that allows individual vertical adjustment of each support structure and thus individual vertical adjustment of each sight point of the sight pins.

Abstract: An arrow fletching assembly is disclosed. An embodiment of the arrow fletching assembly may include a tubular sleeve about which a plurality of feathers or vanes may be attached. Another embodiment may include graphics printed on the tubular sleeve or on a sticker that is configured for application on the tubular sleeve. Embodiments of the arrow fletching assembly may be field adjustable according to the present invention.

Abstract: A sighting device for use with a firearm or bow comprises a fiber optic member having a sight end visible by a user for aiming the firearm or bow at a target. A non-electrical, light-emitting material is disposed over a length of the fiber optic element in order to illuminate the fiber optic element in low light or no ambient light conditions. The non-electrical, light-emitting material may be incorporated into the sighting device in order to provide sufficient surface contact with the fiber optic member to provide adequate illumination as well as illumination of the sighting device itself.

Abstract: A bow sight is comprised of at least two support structures, each support structure supporting a vertically oriented sight pin. Each support structure is adjustably attached to a mounting member that allows individual vertical adjustment of each support structure. The sight pins may be vertically aligned in an overlying manner to visually provide a single sight pin with multiple sight tips or horizontally aligned but vertically spaced to provide individually vertically adjustable sight tips.

Abstract: An adjustment system for a vertically adjustable bow sight includes a plurality of fiber optic set points and one fiber optic alignment point that is movable relative to the plurality of set points. Each fiber optic point, including the set points and alignment point is comprised of a terminal end of a length of fiber optic material, such as plastic optical fiber material. By adjusting the alignment point relative to the set points, the sight is vertically adjusted so as to adjust the sight pin of the sight for a particular distance-to-target.

Abstract: A sight pin for use with a bow sight includes an elongate segment of fiber optic material used to form a sighting indicia at one of its terminal ends. The other end of the fiber optic member is wound upon a spool to increase the exposed surface area of the fiber optic material to increase light absorption and thus the brightness of the sight indicia.

Abstract: An arrow rest comprises an arrow rest support arm pivotally mounted to the riser of a bow. The support arm is coupled to a cable guide of the bow through linkage that causes the support arm to rise relative to the riser of the bow as the cable is drawn to launch an arrow. As the cable is released to launch an arrow, the arrow rest drops to allow the fletching to pass the arrow rest without contact. In addition, as the arrow rest moves from a first resting position to a second pre-launch position and back again, a clamping mechanism grasps the shaft of the arrow when the support arm is in the resting position. As the support arm moves to the pre-launch position, the clamping mechanism releases the shaft of the arrow so that the arrow can be freely launched from the support arm without interference from the clamping mechanism.
