  • Patent number: 4616422
    Abstract: A bowhunter sight adapted solely to hunters shooting from an elevated position where the tendency is for the hunter to shoot high, thus missing the intended impact area of the designated target.My invention is a counter-weighted wheel with an adjustable sight pin which is employed with a conventional sighting system that is used by most hunters. The conventional system consists of a bracket attached to the compound bow's riser, which is predrilled to accept the bracket. Also, on the front of the bracket are two slots to accept sighting pins which are set stationary at known yardages, Example--20 yards; 30 yards; 40 yards; 50 yards. The hunter than must estimate all yardages in between known yardage pins.My invention attaches to the conventional sighting system and is to be used when hunting from an elevated stand. The single sight pin on the counter-weighted wheel automatically adjusts itself to all yardages covered, which is from base of stand to approximately 30 yards, depending somewhat on bow being used.
