  • Patent number: 6199286
    Abstract: Apparatus for the laser guidance of the aiming function used by the shooter, and fiber optics to increase the usability of the weapon. One type of adjustment is provided by a vertically movable and vertically adjustable cam member; and a second adjustment is provided through arm linkage which adjusts a rotatable laser holding member. Futher features are the provision of a novel adjustable base means to adjust the laser for horizontal (windage) adjustment and also provided a standard of testing feature for testing vertical alignment. Fiber optics gives the shooter the means by which he is able to aim and shoot at farther targets in comparison to the lasers' limits of rangeability; and this fiber optic feature supplements the laser feature of the sight device, and the sight provides a novel sight pin feature. An adjustable lens device provides that the laser beam can be adjustably expanded rather than constricted.

  • Patent number: 5782002
    Abstract: Laser guidance apparatus for providing great accuracy of aiming a bow-and-arrow assembly. The apparatus provides a cam member which provides a double-adjustment feature of the inclination necessary for the proper trajectory of the arrow, taking account of the difference between the aiming inclination for a desired shot trajectory and the non-effect of gravity on the laser beam; and a cam member provides both the adjustment of the inclination to adjust for distance to the target, and for differences in the shooting assembly factors of arrow weight, pulling force, etc.
