Moving pin archery sight

Abstract

A moving pin archery sight that includes a distance to target indicator/selector mechanism that allows a user to select a distance to target that corresponds with a predicted distance to a target. The distance to target indicator/selector includes a mechanism for generating a slight sound each time the indicator/selector is moved one increment. In one embodiment, the distance to target indicator/selector includes multiple, user selectable scales to allow for a number of different sized incremental distance changes to be made.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . In a moving pin archery sights having a sight pin mounted to a sight in mechanical connection with a sight pin positioning mechanism that includes a positioning mechanism frame securable to an archery bow, a sight holder slide that is movable upward and downward along a predefined vertical trackway of the positioning mechanism frame, a pivoting, sight holder slide positioning arm pivotally connected at a pivot point to the positioning mechanism frame and mechanically linked along a slide connecting end portion thereof to the sight holder slide such that, as a user adjustment end of the pivoting sight holder slide positioning arm moves along an arcuate path in a substantially first direction, the sight holder slide moves along a straight path in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction, the pivot point being between the user adjustment end and the slide connecting end portion; the sight being carried on the sight holding slide; each angular position of the user adjustment end of the pivoting sight holder slide positioning arm indicating a different distance to a target such that a user may adjust the position of the sight pin of the sight to correspond with a particular distance to a target by moving the user adjustment end of the pivoting sight holder slide positioning arm to the particular angular position corresponding with the particular distance to the target; the improvement comprising: 
 a distance to target indicator/selector mechanism for allowing a user to select a distance to target that corresponds with a predicted distance to a target;    the distance to target indicator/selector mechanism includes a sound generating mechanism that generates a sound audible to the archer for each increment of distance adjustment made to the sight.
