Sighting pin tag for sighting pins

Abstract

A sight having sighting pins for identifying a shooting distance of an archery bow. The sight includes sighting pin tags installed on the sighting pins, where the sighting pin tags include indicia indicating the shooting distance associated with the sighting pin. When the sighting pin tag which includes shrink wrap material is installed on the sighting pins and heated, the sighting pin tag is shrunk around the sighting pin. Additionally a method for installing the sighting pin tag on the sighting pin by determining a shooting distance of the archery bow corresponding to a sighting pin, selecting a sighting pin tag having indicia that corresponds to the shooting distance associated with the sighting pin, and installing the sighting pin tag on the sighting pin.

1 . A sighting pin tag for identifying shooting distance of a weapon comprising:
 a body attachable to a sighting pin of a weapon; and   indicia indicating a distance on an outer surface of the body.   
     
     
         2 . The sighting pin tag according to  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises shrink wrap material configurable in a way so that when the shrink wrap material is heated, said shrink wrap material is shrinkable around a sighting pin, and said body is an elongate tube having a first open end and a second open end, said elongate tube being slidable over a sighting pin. 
     
     
         3 . The sighting pin tag according to  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises shrink wrap material configurable in a way so that when the shrink wrap material is heated, said shrink wrap material is shrinkable around a sighting pin, and said body is a flat sheet, said flat sheet being wrappable around a sighting pin. 
     
     
         4 . A sight for an archery bow comprising:
 at least one sighting pin for identifying a shooting distance of a bow; and   a sighting pin tag provided on the at least one sighting pin, wherein said sighting pin tag comprises indicia provided on an outer surface of the sighting pin tag indicating the shooting distance associated with the at least one sighting pin.   
     
     
         5 . The sight for the archery bow according to  claim 4 , wherein the sighting pin tag further comprises a shrink wrap material so that when the sighting pin tag is installed on the at least one sighting pin and heated, said sighting pin tag is shrunk around the at least one sighting pin. 
     
     
         6 . The sight for the archery bow according to  claim 5 , wherein said sighting pin tag comprises an elongate tube having a first open end and a second open end. 
     
     
         7 . The sight for the archery bow according to  claim 5 , wherein said sighting pin tag comprises a flat sheet that is wrapped around the at least one sighting pin. 
     
     
         8 . The sight for the archery bow according to  claim 7 , wherein the flat sheet comprises an adhesive on at least one side edge of the flat sheet. 
     
     
         9 . The sight for the archery bow according to  claim 4 , wherein the sighting pin comprises at least one fiber optic element. 
     
     
         10 . A method for installing a sighting pin tag of a sighting pin marking system on a sighting pin for identifying shooting distance for an archery bow comprising the steps:
 determining a shooting distance of the archery bow corresponding to at least one sighting pin;   selecting a sighting pin tag having indicia that corresponds to the shooting distance associated with the at least one sighting pin;   installing the sighting pin tag on the at least one sighting pin.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein said sighting pin tag comprises a shrink wrap material that is shrinkable around the sighting pin and further comprising the step heating the sighting pin tag so that the shrink wrap material of the sighting pin tag is shrunk around the at least one sighting pin. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 10 , further comprising the step of installing a grommet over the at least one sighting pin, wherein the sighting pin tag is installed around the grommet and the at least one sighting pin. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the at least one sighting pin comprises a fiber optic element. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the sighting pin tag comprises an elongate tube having a first open end and a second open end, and wherein installing the sighting pin tag on the at least one sighting pin comprises the step of sliding the elongate tube of the sighting pin tag over the sighting pin. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the sighting pin tag comprises a flat sheet, and wherein installing the sighting pin tag on the at least one sighting pin comprises the step of wrapping the flat sheet of the sighting pin tag over the sighting pin. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the flat sheet comprises an adhesive on at least one edge of the flat sheet. 
     
     
         17 . A sight on for a weapon comprising a first sighting pin with a first visible indication of a first shooting distance which is configured to allow a person using the sight to quickly target a first intended target. 
     
     
         18 . The sight for a weapon according to  claim 17 , further comprising a second sighting pin with a second visible indication of a second shooting distance which is configured to allow a person using the sight to quickly target a second intended target. 
     
     
         19 . The sight for a weapon according to  claim 18 , wherein said weapon is an archery bow.
