Claim 8:
9. A sight for an archery bow, comprising:
a. a base mounted to an archery bow;
b. a housing connected to the base;
c. a sight cover defining a sight window mounted to the housing, wherein the sight cover is vertically adjustable relative to the housing;
d. a sight point mounted within the sight window;
e. wherein a known height of the sight point relative to the housing is calibrated to a known target distance;
f. a control knob with a control shaft rotatably coupled to the housing and operatively coupled to the sight cover, wherein rotation of the control knob and control shaft vertically adjusts a height of the sight cover and the sight point relative to the housing; and
g. an electronic module mounted to the housing, the electronic module having a display and at least one sensor to measure angular rotation of the control shaft;
h. the electronic module including a processor and a memory with programming, wherein a bow speed is saved in the memory, wherein the processor and programming use the measured angular rotation of the control shaft to calculate an adjusted sight point height relative to the known height and the saved bow speed to calculate and display a target distance corresponding to the adjusted height of the sight point; and
i. wherein an exterior profile of the electronic module is received in a mounting cavity defined in the sight housing and wherein the electronic module is removable from the housing while the display, the processor, the memory, circuitry and a power supply are enclosed by the electronic module.
