ABSTRACT:
A trajectory compensation apparatus is disclosed for use with a crossbow having a barrel, a trigger portion and a bow for use with an arrow, the arrow being shot traveling along a crossbow trajectory curve. The compensation apparatus comprises a rear sight mounted on the barrel at a location adjacent the trigger portion, and a forward sight is mounted on the barrel at a location adjacent the bow. A mechanism, operatively acting on the shot arrow, is provided for compensating for the trajectory curve, wherein, as the crossbow is aimed directly at a target, the arrow being shot from the bow will travel along the compensating mechanism at a predetermined upward angular orientation relative to the barrel. The arrow will then be released at a point above the target sight, thereby causing the arrow to drop onto the target at a point along the crossbow trajectory curve.
