Abstract: A combined target sight and range finder with a bulls-eye pin and slotted sight plate that receives an adjustable “belly bar” is disclosed. A “set-in” procedure is used to establish a set-in distance and to generate a scale of various target sizes. The “set-in” procedure involves adjusting such that the bulls-eye pin is consistently aimed at the bulls-eye of a target, yet hits the target at a distance above the target. The archer moves progressively farther away from the target until a “set-in” distance at which aiming at the bulls-eye produces shots that hit the bulls-eye is reached. Various targets are presented at the set-in distance, and the belly bar is positioned such that the bulls-eye pin and belly bar frame each target. The belly bar can then later quickly be placed in its slot at the position corresponding to the target size, thereby accounting for the distance between the shooter and the target.

Abstract: A bow sight system includes a bow sight assembly adjustably mounted to a base plate. The bow sight can include a conventional forward sight, such as a pin sight and a V shaped rear sight. Sighting through the V shaped rear sight groove will allow the archer to see the forward sight if the bow and archer are in proper alignment. A misalignment will cause the groove to obscure the archer's view of the forward sight preventing a misaligned shot. Unlike prior art peep sights, the V groove rear sight allows the archer to have an almost unlimited view of the target field such that the archer can quickly acquire a target. Illuminated alignment marks positioned on either side of the V groove ease the archer's ability to aim in low light conditions. The rear sight can also obscure unused pins of a multiple pin front sight and can also give an indication of target distance based on the number of pins of a multiple pin system visible.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting sighting pins in an archery sight for multiple target distances after the uppermost pin has been adjusted for a target distance such as 20 yards. An archery target is utilized with a horizontal reference indicator. Vertical offset distances from the reference indicator are determined for various target distances and arrow velocities, indicating where an arrow destined for the reference indicator on an imaginary target at a longer range such as 30 yards would strike the target at 20 yards. A vertical offset impact point is marked on the target at the offset distance from the reference indicator. A second pin corresponding to 30 yards is adjusted to visually overlie the reference indicator when the first pin is aimed at the offset impact point. By determining and marking offset distances corresponding to multiple target distances, multiple sighting pins can be adjusted in a similar manner.

The cosine numbers are readable without requiring the shooter to break his cheek weld with the rifle. The shooter can then calculate the horizontal distance to target by multiplying the cosine by the straight-line distance to target.
