ABSTRACT:
An adjustable sight for aiming an archery bow at a target is disclosed. The bow sight includes a bow bracket which is adjustably attached to the bow and a planar sight bracket which is adjustably attached to the bow bracket in a generally vertical plane. A front sight is mounted at one end of the sight bracket and extends horizontally from the sight bracket. A distance member is disposed generally parallel to and adjacent to the sight bracket and is pivotally mounted thereto about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the plane of the sight bracket. A rear sight is mounted to the distance member and extends horizontally away from the distance member. Range indicia are located on the sight bracket and a reference mark is located on the distance member. By appropriately moving the distance member so that the reference mark is aligned with the appropriate range indicia, the aimed line of sight of the bow is adjusted for distance of the target from the bow. In addition, by pivotally mounting the sight bracket to the bow bracket about a horizontal pivot axis, the tendency to shoot further left or right of the target at increasing distances is compensated for. Different ranges of distances can be provided for with the present bow sight by changing the pivot point of the distance member between two pivot points provided.
