ABSTRACT:
An improved rear bow sight used in archery. The present invention is a bowstring mounted rear peep sight formed of clear, preferably acrylic, material. The transparent characteristic of the present invention allows the archer to align the rear bow sight with the forward sight pin, while remaining focused on the position on the target at which the archer is aiming. A second embodiment of the present invention includes an ambient light collecting fiber which acts as a rear transparent sight pin within a sight window. The light collecting fiber is wrapped about the sight in order to collect ambient light, while the second end of the fiber acts as the sight pin and is centrally positioned within the sight window. The sight pin provides an illumination point for alignment with a forward sight in order to set proper aim at a target. A third embodiment of the present invention uses a surface to help contrast the illumination point of the sight pin against the surrounding environment in order to better view the sight pin. Another embodiment uses two fibers as pin sights along with an enlarged contrasting member to enhance visibility of the pin sight.
