  • Publication number: 20170211913
    Abstract: A hinged archery sight for a bow for shooting arrows includes an oval configured sight portion when the hinged archery sight is disposed in a substantially vertical position, and a substantially annular configuration when the hinged archery sight is disposed in a predetermined angular position corresponding to an archer's draw on the bow string. The hinged archery sight also includes hinged portion for pivotally securing the archery sight to a bow string. To maintain a predetermined optimum position of the hinged archery sight on the bow string, securing spikes are integrally joined to inner walls of bow string receiving recesses such that pointed ends of the securing spikes radially penetrate the bow string when the hinged archery sight is secured about the bow string.
