Abstract: The bowstring peep sight is inexpensive and durable and can be easily, rapidly and securely connected to the bowstring of a compound or non-compound archery bow without having to serve locking knots on the bowstring as with conventional peep sights. The peep sight is particularly useful with compound archery bows where the close proximity of multiple segments of bowstring to each other renders the serving of knots difficult and time consuming. Serving knots can slip, whereas the present peep sight is positively locked but easily loosenable and/or removable from the bowstring. The peep sight has a body defining a tapered peep and a peripheral string groove. The body may be partly cut away to expose the string groove to one or more movable connector plates which can be screwed thereagainst. Instead, the main body can be split into front and rear plates releasably secured against each other by external or internal screws, or have studs press-fittable into mating openings, trapping the bowstring therebetween.

The other side of the first opening is transparent so that a split image is viewed through the first opening. Both the parabolic mirror and the planar mirror are arranged so that when the halves of the split image viewed through the first opening are aligned, the bow is properly aimed.

Abstract: A bow sight particularly suited for use on bows wherein the draw rating and hence arrow trajectory may be varied. A base of the sight has a forward extension on which is pivotally mounted a carrier having a sighting post.

The stop element is sequentially engageable with a multitude of radially grooves formed in the carrier. Vertical adjustment of the carrier is through an arc the magnitude of which arc and the distance between carrier elevational settings being determined by the distance of the stop element from the carrier pivotal axis.
