Bow sight

Abstract

An archery bow sight assembly comprising a bracket attached to a bow's riser terminating in front and rear mounting plates for multiple front sight pins and a rear sight which when aligned determine the aiming point to send the arrow to the target at various distances. The front and rear mounts provide features that allow for easy adjustment for front sight pins and rear sight that are secured in such a way as to prevent slippage and loss of adjustment due to vibrations from release of bowstring.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A bow sight assembly, to be mounted to the riser of a bow, for aligning the path of the arrow to the target, comprising: 
 A bracket with two parallel horizontal slots for adjusting and mounting to the riser of the bow, and terminating front and rear in vertical mounting plates;    Mounting plates comprising vertical slots with ramp gears and locking plates as a track for mounting and adjustment mechanism;    Mounting plates are provided with mounting and adjustment mechanism for securing multiple front sight pins and rear sight;    Multiple front sight pins, secured in mounting and adjusting mechanisms, extend horizontally to establish aiming points to target at various distances;    A rear sight, secured in mounting and adjustment mechanism, comprising a threaded rod terminating in a 275 degree arc for mounting various pins to establish a point for aligning with front sight pin.    
     
     
         2 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein front and rear mounting plates comprising one or more vertical adjustment slots and comprising ramp gears on opposite sides of plate, a lock plate on one side, and notches on inside of vertical slots; for mounting and adjustment of said sights when used in conjunction with mounting and adjustment mechanism.  
     
     
         3 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein mounting and adjustment mechanisms for front and rear sights comprise a bolt with two spur gears separated by a space (slightly greater than the width of the mounting plate) wherein a spring is mounted in said space; and wherein bolt is drilled and tapped inside to receive standard threads commonly used in sight pins; and wherein bolt is threaded on outside of distal end to accept locking nut.  
     
     
         4 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein mounting and adjustment mechanisms are inserted in cutouts in vertical slots in mounting plate and allows for vertical adjustment by rolling spur gears up or down ramp gears and secured in place with locking nut compressing against ramp gear and locking plate; and comprising a spring to provide tension against slot to prevent mechanism from sliding or rolling down slot when lock nut is loosened; and wherein said spring clicks along notches in slot for audible and tactile reference of vertical adjustment to mechanism.  
     
     
         5 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein horizontal adjustment is achieved by screwing sight in or out of mounting and adjustment mechanism and secured in position with locking nut.  
     
     
         6 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein front sight pins which extend horizontally from mounting plate may be standard sight pins commonly available (which preferably use fiber optic and/or glow in the dark materials) for use in establishing aiming points to target at various distances.  
     
     
         7 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein a rear sight comprising a threaded rod extending horizontally from mounting plate terminating in a 275 degree arc that has threaded fittings for mounting various sight pins radiating inward to establish a point of alignment with front sight pin.  
     
     
         8 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein the front sight assembly alone may be provided for use with users pre-existing rear sight.  
     
     
         9 . A bow sight assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein the rear sight assembly alone may be provided for use with users pre-existing front sights.
