ABSTRACT:
A rear peep sight apparatus for use with a projectile device such as a bow includes a body formed of a transparent material for mounting in a bow string. The body has generally parallel front and rear surfaces connected by a curved side surface and the side surface and a portion of each of the front and rear surfaces is opaque. The body has a cavity formed therein for mounting a light source which is either self contained or connected by a spiral wound elastic conductor to a battery and switch enclosed in a housing which can be releasably attached to the bow. The peep sight can include a sighting device such as, for example, an oval ring, a dot and a cross hair. In the alternative, the light source can be located in the housing and the light transmitted through a fiber optic conductor to the body. As another alternative, the sighting device can be a centrally located aperture formed at an angle through the body surrounded by a first plurality of locator apertures formed in the body in the shape of a cross hair and a second plurality of target apertures formed in the body at the angle and positioned between the locator apertures and the centrally located aperture.
