ABSTRACT:
A sighting system utilizes identical sight pins to form a series of sighting indicia for aiming a bow. The sight pins comprise a contrast fin with a sighting end surrounding an aiming dot of a light gathering member which is held by a transparent flange connected to the contrast fin. The transparent flange allows almost the entire surface area of the light gathering member to be used to gather light which is focused at an end of the light gathering member which forms the aiming dot. In an alternate embodiment the sight pin is formed of a unitary piece entirely of contrast material. In another embodiment of the sight pin, a shaft is provided with a threaded outer surface and a channel through the outer surface for receiving the light gathering member. The sight end of the sight pin is coated to form a contrast between the aiming dot and the sight pin.
