ABSTRACT:
A sight for attachment to an archery bow and including a base having parallel guides along which sight pins may be vertically adjusted. A series of fiber optics extend one each through the sight pins and terminate therein to provide an illuminated bead. The opposite ends of the fiber optics are each in light receiving relationship with a collector and conductor member in place on the sight base. The light collector and conductor members are formed of a polymer with fluorescent material and have a relatively large light collecting surface area and a small light emitting edge area which emits light to the ends of the fiber optics. The light collector and conductor members may include curved segments as well as tapered segments to provide a suitable ratio of light collecting surface area to light emitting edge area to assure brightly illuminated sight pins. An interface between the light collector and conductor members may include bores formed within the light collector and conducting members into which the fiber optic ends are insertably seated.
