Abstract: Bow and fixed firearm sights, employing fiber optic materials and tritium to provide illumination during periods of low-light, and no-light. As contemplated the bow sights are usable with or without an elastic alignment cord attached to the bow riser/limb and/or forward cable system of a compound bow. In its simplest form the bow sight comprises a bow sight having an opaque base, a transparent housing disposed on and integral with the base, a sight window having peripheral notches therearound and a fiber optic pin embedded in the transparent housing.

Abstract: A series of transparent rear bow sights having fiber optic of various configurations for adding to the bowstring having preferably at least four strands. The bowstring can be undivided or divided up to four strand groups for attachment of the bow sight. A battery can be attached to the bowstring with its cord acting as a guide equivalent to a rubber cord guide. The simplest form of a rear bow sight has a dark colored opaque base including a plastic fiber optic pin containing tritium and supporting an inclined or perpendicularly oriented circular apertured and transparent sight window with external notches for embedding the individual or grouped strands of the drawstring. Other embodiments include various arrangements of the colored fiber optic as a U-shaped tube, a singular straight tube, two parallel straight tubes, and a combination of a straight tube intersecting the U-shaped tube portion and parallel to its legs.

Abstract: An improved rear bow sight used in archery. The present invention is a bowstring mounted rear peep sight formed of clear, preferably acrylic, material. The transparent characteristic of the present invention allows the archer to align the rear bow sight with the forward sight pin, while remaining focused on the position on the target at which the archer is aiming. A second embodiment of the present invention includes an ambient light collecting fiber which acts as a rear transparent sight pin within a sight window. The light collecting fiber is wrapped about the sight in order to collect ambient light, while the second end of the fiber acts as the sight pin and is centrally positioned within the sight window. The sight pin provides an illumination point for alignment with a forward sight in order to set proper aim at a target.
