Claim Text:
1. An arrow aiming apparatus connected to a bowstring release and used with a string loop enabling aiming from behind the nock and tangent to the arrow shaft in daylight and lowlight with said apparatus comprising: (a) an aiming device interface attaching aiming devices of this invention to bowstring releases; (b) a daylight aiming device using said bowstring release and said string loop; (c) a reflective arrowhead sighting feature enhancing the visibility of the arrowhead; (d) a lowlight aiming device using said release and said string loop while aiming a light beam; (e) a lowlight sight shield using a small hole for alignment of the light beam; (1) the aiming device interface fitting a plurality of said bowstring releases and affixed to one as means to interchange attachment of the daylight and the lowlight aiming device; (2) the daylight aiming device comprising an optical viewing tube connected to the aiming device interface by an aiming device receiver; (3) the aiming device receiver providing a means for angle adjustment and fixing of the optical viewing tube; (4) the optical viewing tube comprising paired reflective surfaces aligning light exiting to the eye to be parallel to light entering from a line of sight established by the target and arrow shaft; (5) an alignment feature positioned along the line of sight comprising a vertical filament fixed to the optical viewing tube and a height adjustable horizontal filament as means for gauging elevation; (6) the optical viewing tube and the vertical filament remaining essentially vertical and the height adjustable horizontal filament continuing to appear parallel to a line tangent to the arrow top as the bow and the string loop are rotated; (7) the reflective arrowhead sighting feature comprising a single slightly visible detail with aerodynamic blended surfaces and an opposing weight and drag feature peripherally positioned tangent to the arrowhead rear shaft; (8) the lowlight aiming device comprising a laser alignment barrel affixed to a laser elevation pan and tilt support bracket means for holding a collimated light source and shielding the light beam; (9) the laser elevation pan and tilt support bracket affixed to the aiming device interface as a means to position, align and set rear elevation of the light beam to project along the arrow; (10) the aiming device interface affixed to an aiming device to arrow nock alignment probe proximal end while the distal end extends to interface with the arrow nock as a means to gauge and control the light beam rear elevation; (11) the lowlight aiming device remaining essentially vertical as the string loop and the bow are rotated avoiding need to readjust the light beam elevation for off vertical aiming; (12) the lowlight sight shield comprising flexible opaque material with a small hole positioned tangent to the arrow as means to reflect the light beam except where properly aligned.
