Device and method for adjusting bow sight at full draw

Abstract

A bow sight device with a control bar, which is configured so that the control bar can be actuated for adjusting a sight of the bow sight device to a different distance even while the bow is at full draw.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A control bar device that connects to a bow sight device of a bow for adjusting distance to target of the bow sight device while the bow is at full draw, comprising:
 a first portion that extends along a first direction, the first portion being configured to be mounted to the bow sight device;   a second portion that extends along a second direction, the second direction being different from the first direction, the second portion configured to control a movement of the first portion for adjusting a target distance setting of the bow sight device; and   a damper arranged at the second portion for dampening vibrations of the bow.   
     
     
         2 . The control bar device of  claim 1 , further comprising another damper arranged at the second portion for dampening vibrations of the bow. 
     
     
         3 . The control bar device of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion includes an actuating portion, the actuating portion being configured to be actuated to move the first portion for adjusting the bow sight device while the bow is at full draw. 
     
     
         4 . The control bar device of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion includes more than one actuating portions defining a notch, the notch being configured to be actuated to move the first portion for adjusting the bow sight device while the bow is at full draw. 
     
     
         5 . The control bar device of  claim 4 , wherein the notch is sized to accommodate a gloved finger. 
     
     
         6 . The control bar device of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are made from a material which includes plastic, aluminum, steel, brass, copper, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The control bar device of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion has a length along a major axis from 4 to 7 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The control bar device of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion has a length along a major axis from 5 to 7 inches. 
     
     
         9 . An adjustable bow sight device for a bow, comprising:
 a control bar for adjusting distance to target while the bow is at full draw, the control bar includes:
 a first portion that extends along a first direction, the first portion being configured to be mounted to the bow sight device, 
 a second portion that extends along a second direction, the second direction being different from the first direction, the second portion configured to control a movement of the first portion for adjusting a target distance setting of the bow sight device, and 
 a damper arranged at the second portion for dampening vibrations of the bow; 
   an arcuate element connected to the control bar, the arcuate element includes a gauge and a needle that indicates a distance setting of the bow sight device,   a carrier connected to a sight,   wherein actuation of the control bar moves the carrier and the sight along a vertical direction with respect to the bow.   
     
     
         10 . A bow, comprising the adjustable bow sight device of  claim 7 . 
     
     
         11 . A method for shooting a bow, comprising:
 drawing a bow string of the bow to a full draw, wherein the bow includes a bow sight device configured at a first setting for a first distance; and   while at full draw, adjusting the bow sight device by moving a control bar, wherein the control bar includes a damper for dampening vibrations, to a second setting which is different from the first setting, wherein the second setting is for a second distance which is different from the first distance.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein adjusting the bow sight device includes:
 placing a digit near a lower portion of a control bar of the bow sight device; to the bow sight; and   applying a force via the digit to the lower portion of the control bar and actuating the control bar to pivot, wherein the pivot of the control bar moves a position of a sight of the bow sight device vertically so that a distance setting of the bow sight device is changed while at full draw.
